British Gas engineer working "on the side" - cover

[nickso]

Also he will probably not need to pay him either because it was illegal for him to fit it when not registered.

.

he is registered.

This thread is getting a bit like having dog ****te on your shoe, just doesnt seem to all want to come off, stuck in the tread, and always that faint smell of it no matter how much scraping on the grass you do

"I dont think many teachers, nurses, doctors, carers, cleaners, police, council workers, railway workers, bus drivers, in other words 98% of working people who are employed are fiddling."



They have little or no opportunity to do so; if they were all self -employed / freelance and working for private clients, then we would see how 'moral' they were, in terms of tax compliance etc.

MPs, Taxi drivers, Policemen - they're all at it given half a chance.

Personally I believe it is better to pay most of the taxes etc as it makes life less complicated.

However, given that previous and current government are committed to warmongering, I only work part time so that I have to give little or no contributions to their genocide.

I assure you they aren't imaginary

The BG engineer has known them for a number of years and is usually the one who comes out every time their boiler needs work doing (they have a BG maintenance contract).

If you're thinking I'm talking about my own boiler then wronnnnnngg ! I had mine installed by a Gas Safe engineer and have my Certificate to hand (even though they wrongly put it down as a Broag 35c when it was the 28c or something lol)

makes me laugh this post, never known so many people who haven't done or wouldn't consider a cash job if ya didn't mention it was a bg lad ya might of got different replies!
referring to working unregistered, there is still alot that have there own or are registered under a friends company.

the bloke is qualified
he's known ya family a few years so is unlikely to rip um off
they have bg homecare, so why do ya need the manufacture's guarantee?
they will get it done alot cheaper

any probs with the job he'll prob be back round like a shot as he wouldn't want to get reported as it would be likely to cost him his job

i think most tradesmen will have done cash jobs at some point, and it is difficult to seperate some theft from other theft, but i do think it is worse when a tradesman steals work from their employer, if you pay £100 income tax from your employment and do a cash in hand job for your mate then it is not the end of the world at least you are paying into the system and not getting benefits, but i agree it is just to justify doing it , but i see it as different when someone takes their employers work ( and probably their material and plant) and would sack them in an instant

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

i always pay my tax. i never take cash.

That is a great description of ****ish gas

If the bg guy is a friend of the customer the company will even register it for him ( a couple a year is what we were told).
What is it with you guys whinging on about it being pocket money?, I was told be a bg contractor the other day he was thinking of leaving as he was only earning a few grand more than direct labour!
