Ok then - the answer to this question - No. Do I favour the death penalty generally? - yup.

Wahh Hah Hah!! Good one!! For a second there I thought you were serious!

Update........ I have contacted Trading Standards ( Consumer Direct is the new name ) and it has proven to be quite useful. First off, they have confirmed that the customer would have to of given me an oppotunity to rectify, it's a pretty standard thing to do. Also, contacting and asking...

Actually, I'm glad he has put this in writing - I feared he would deny it. Further more, I offered to remedy it which I think goes a bit further than waiting for him to ask me. tonybhoy - I have heard similar stories of tradesmen being stitched up in court. At this stage it appears he is...

Update Letter received!! In short - He believes that he is doing me a favour by not asking to pay for the pitch fibre drain lining!! He beleives he was justified in not asking for me to do the blockage clearing because A) there was no guarantee of success, B) no guarantee when I...

This is a common problem so I understand where you're coming from. We do this..... Do you know that plastic 'strapping' you get around packages? We use a length of that wrapped around what would be the far edge of the tray so someone can hold up that far edge by a few edges when it is...

Thanks again guys - your opinions are valued.

Well your guarantee will be null and void for one i suppose. When these trays are cast, the bottom part is often untrue to a certain degree. Thats why a mortar base is required to offer support, make up the difference and to help level things up should the floor be unlevel. If your floor...

Good tips there Woody - thanks. There is a bathroom store that has been giving me all my work for the last 10 years. The guy went in there looking to shyt stir ( IMO ), but anyway, they pretty much told him that they have been recommending me for years and have never had a complaint about me...

An update that concerns me... I have heard through the grapevine that the customer may deny that I offered to remedy the situation, or perhaps say that he tried to contact me to accept, but I wouldn't answer the phone. This would be a lie, but how can one proves this? It basically come down...

Ok. The customer has arranged for a sparky of their own to check it out for me. He says it can be installed as non notifiable work, and also says that I can change the single socket in the airing cupboard to a double socket to accomadate the product without needing it to be notified too. I'll...

With my missus in mind... Loss of hearing would be a bonus. Loss of 'tadger' seeing as it wouldn't missed anyway.

To my knowledge, a lot of under floor heating mats are for tiles only. However.......... http://www.enerfoil.com/enerfoil/index.htm This will save you shut loads of hassle.

Ok guys - thanks for your input. But I'm still kinda confused. Can I go ahead with laying this - including tiling over - with out the need for a sparky? Thanks.

Then I guess it is down to the definition of 'wiring' - am I right? I have read up a bit more on the product. It is a flat mat (a foil that is laminated between two plastic sheets) that needs to be stuck down prior to tiling. The wires would then - in my case - drop under the floor and be bought...

A customer has requested the installation of an under tile heating mat that comes with a transformer that plugs in via regular 3 pin plug. This one.... http://www.enerfoil.com/enerfoil/index.htm How does this kind of installation sit with the current regs? I usually use a sparky when I...

Agree with the sentiment, but people who choose to partake in dangerous sports should have some kind of insurance set aside to cover the cost of the rescue services. Now I realise that a simple game of football can result in an injury, but sports or activities ( including ruddy rambling ) that...

Most countries ( including this one ) have daft laws too. It's wether they are being enforced is the problem.

Cheers guys - thanks for your thoughts. I have yet to hear from the guy again. One half of me is hoping that he is just going to go away. The other half thinks I should call him and ask what he plans to do next. Regarding the 'dropped' boss adaptor. I accept that it was done on my watch, but...

This is true. Remember, as far as the government is concerned, we are all cool with multiculturalism. The immigrants are only doing what they think they are welcome to do. After all, Labour wouldnt of been voted for so long if we didnt support there ideals, right? What's that expression? oh...
