DH, don't beat yourself up mate, very few of us mortals are destined to reach Dan's heights, it's a wise man that knows his limitations and is content with what he has achieved because he also knows that he could have done a lot worse! Of course SIL is not good enough for my daughter, but then...

A fair question mcm................he recently replaced his clutch on his fiat without any help, he replaced the 'clock spring' on his steering column, he replaced the cambelt on his twin overhead cam engine, replaced bent valves etc, that's the clue that tells me he has ability which can be...

Surely Picasso I've already answered this for you..................he's 23 not 17................there are other things on the horizon ie mortgages etc so although he wants to do it the relaxed n right way real life needs the earnings to ramp up

Dan................you can lead a fool to knowledge.....................but you can't make them answer a post with useful information

Dan....................as a result of my original question I have learnt the following from those who have contributed: You have a degree, can ask your own questions and can't understand why others can't. Muggles, Madrab and Agile are prepared to answer my question with useful information...

Another one joins the fun...................... allow me to help you DP.............. this is a site for DIYer's to get help from kind hearted professionals that very graciously are prepared to do just that............ it's not a site for young lads trying to work out what professional exams...

Is that all you've got Dan?..............................I'd have thought a clever bloke like you could have done a lot better................... obviously not.

Dan, of course I haven't missed your point.......................you've told us all how wonderful you are and (by comparison) what a useless tool my SIL is because he's not on this forum asking the questions himself.............I doubt he knows of this forum's existence because he don't own a...

Dan, Dan, Dan, there are all sorts of 23yr olds isn't there?, on the one hand there's you.....................a superhero with a brain the size of a planet and a high achiever that comes flying out of life's starting gate like an exocet missile on a career path to glory......................and...

Why am I asking the questions?...................that's easily answered, he's a youngster, and with all the young, they need a bit of steering in the right direction because left to think for themselves they'll make a right funk up! (I think it has a lot to do with an excessive amount of...

Don't be confused Puller................I'm asking the question because I want to know, then I can tell him

Thanks everyone for your answers, I obviously have no idea how the plumbing/ gas exams etc work, so hopefully you clever lot can put me straight. Last year I passed my NVQ level3 in printing, I was advised that taking level 2 wasn't worth it as I was a 'mature student', I jumped in and passed...

Muggles,getting a chance as an apprentice plumber is virtually impossible, the competition is hugeand most oneman outfits are sick of lazy, don't care lads so prefer to work alone

I think he just wants a cheap grafter

All he's doing is grafting, hence my question

He's working with a proper domestic heating engineer 5 days a week, but he must do exams too, he wants to do domestic gas work

My young(23) son in law is a trainee plumber working for a real one. He wants to get gas qualified and due to his late start wants to get gas qualified as fast as possible. What is the route he should go down?

Thanks lads, I had watched a few Youtube videos to get an idea, based on this, I used my plastering trowel to spread (epic fail) then went back over the area with a 4inch roller to even out. I tried to get that A2 spreader on thee way home tonight but the shop was shut, so I just rolled out...

I've spread out the glue, waited 15 mins expecting it to become tacky...........it didn't, so I gave it another 15, still not tacky but I've laid the Karndean over it anyway. The floor is ply over chipboard, the room is heated (prob. 70degrees) The glue batch was made 6 months ago. I had...

Yeah, I'm gonna have both run from the 3a fuse, I had hoped perhaps the timer supply might be alright as 6A with the fan running off the 3A, heyho 3A for both it is, thanks lads.
