There is no way we'll go bust so long as the government sticks to its plan. The budget deficit is slowly being reduced year by year. It's not going to happen overnight but come 2016/17 the deficit will have been payed off. That will still leave us with a huge debt but at least we won't be adding...

Wow. Testing gas pipework at 9 bar is the equivalent to testing it at roughly 45 times the working pressure. That's like testing your water at 45 times the working pressure! Talk about completely over the top and unnecessary!

You do realise you can have a 'discussion' without being offensive and bigoted? I have discussions every day in real life and on other forums and i don't see people showing such bigotry just because we're discussing an item of interest. Take this for example.. "While I appreciate that...

This forum is full of knowledgeable people who offer great advice in the different sub forums. However, for some strange reason the general discussion forum is full of idiots spouting all sorts of bigotry nonsense. Shame really as it does the forum on the whole a disservice.

Why does it really matter if one person does it all in a day and someone else does it over 2 days? As long as both jobs are done correctly and satisfies all regs then what's the problem. Personally i'd only get it done in a day if we were mega busy and had no choice but to get it done in a day...

Why can't your normal corgi chap fit it? It is a simple job fitting a wireless room stat and he should know how to if he fits boilers!

Yes but the fact still stands that you've got a contract for a certain phone for a set amount of time. You've signed a contract for the phone you have for 24 months. You can't just ask them to upgrade you whenever you feel like it. I've got a contract with o2 which i've had for years. I don't...

How is this a 'dodgy experience'? Your in a contract that runs for a said amount of time. You can't just ring up and ask them to upgrade when your contract isn't finished. You get a 3 month early upgrade on o2 if you spend over a certain amount, but i'm guessing you don't spend enough. If they...

Even if they have both been 'dumbed down', relatively speaking, A level chemistry will still be harder. Think about it, who generally goes into the construction trade after school? It's usually the lads who aren't the best academically and didn't get the greatest GCSE's. To pretend that doing...

Jeez, your like a broken record. All you ever go on about is bloomin' power flushing! Then again though, not surprising with the money your charge for doing it. :D A power flushing machine just pumps water round a central heating system, and let's you switch the direction of flow. It's...

In what way do i have a high opinion of myself? Somebody said that the gas exams were as hard as A levels. I did my A levels 6 years ago so have a experience of both A levels and gas exams as i've recently done my apprenticeship. I was just pointing out that A levels are far harder than...

Yes. Lets be honest, an exam that is almost completely open book and has very lax time limits isn't going to be anywhere near as difficult as an A level exam. Some of the stuff i learnt doing chemistry is far more complex than gas. I know NVQ3's are suppose to be the equivalent of 2 A levels...

Really? I studied Chemistry & Biology at A level and an apprenticeship is a piece of **** in comparison! I really struggled at Chemistry and just scraped a B, whereas in my apprenticeship i completed it with relative ease. I don't recall anything in my apprenticeship being anywhere near A level...

Got any sources for that? You've got a habit of saying things but not backing it up with evidence! I'd like to know when the lords said there is no benefit to immigration too..

That is diabolical. Where to start.. 1. He obviously can't bend pipe or doesn't have a pipe bender 2. You can't use plastic fittings on chrome pipework 3. Plastic & compression fittings shouldn't be buried in plaster 4. A first year apprentice could do a job 5x better You shouldn't have...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KhZwsYtNDE This is a good video. Just goes to show how skilled pilots are and how calm they are in an emergency. The passengers will have been bricking themselves yet the pilot is calm as anything! [/list]

The same policy applies to every other infectious disease so what is the issue that they're now going to extend that to HIV? We don't have tuberculosis 'tourists' do we, so why are we suddenly going to get a load of HIV 'tourists'? It makes economic sense to treat them rather than not and...

Use the chemicals in the same way you usually would. Put some x400 and let it run in the system for a few days. I know the outside method isn't going to clean your pipework but it's just as good for cleaning rads which is what i was getting at. Your doing the exact same thing that you are with a...

This is just as good as power flushing if not better if you ask me. Those that have a vested interest in power flushing won't tell you that, but there is little difference. Think about it, flushing out a rad under mains water pressure is going to get rid of as much as the crap out of your rad as...

You never mentioned the others were included, but if it was just a power flush then i still think over £500 is steep. Lets be generous and say you charge £100 for use of your machine & £50 for chemicals, your still getting £350 labour for a days work. Good if you can get it but imo it's...
