True, but as I always say to people who moan about their getting old, and the consequences thereof .... there's only one alternative to 'getting old', and I personally regard the 'getting old' as being easily the more desirable of the two alternative, despite the downsides
A few decades (30 years is 'nothing'!) on ones feet, or even 'at a desk', can take its toll, too30 years on the tools wears you out!
As one of my customers put it (He was a retired Electrician, I did not know him until he became a customer) I rewired his home. He had some disabilities made worse or caused by his age.True, but as I always say to people who moan about their getting old, and the consequences thereof .... there's only one alternative to 'getting old', and I personally regard the 'getting old' as being easily the more desirable of the two alternative, despite the downsides
Could it be phwor or jeez.
Maybe, but a good few 'desk workers' get told by their doctors that their health, and quite possibly life expectancy, might well improve if they changed their career (or,at least, their 'lifestyle') to something 'more physical'A few years ago a plasterer friend of mine with shoulder problems was told by our GP that all tradesmen should change careers to something less physical or retire at 50
Yes, there are such concerns - and for very many years I have also been one of those 'desk workers'.
There presumably will be an ongoing need for some physical work to be done by human beings for at least a very long time to come, but the call for that it presumably going to continue to progressively decline. Even in relation to housing, which you mention, I imagine that there will be gradual moves towards buildings pre-fabricated in factories, probably largely by robots, that would require little (if any, ultimately!!) on-site human time/effort to 'assemble' them.
As above, there is definite cause for concern, at least in terms of what we have come to expect. Assuming that the trends continue (and I see no reason why they won't), we will presumably eventually reach the point at which there is simply not enough 'human work' left for everyone to be 'employed' - which I suppose means that the day will come in which we will have to have some system which somehow accepts that an increasing proportion of the population will have to receive 'a reasonable income' without having any 'job' in the sense we currently think of that. What people will then 'do' is presumably something that society will have to decide!
Well for a start it would help if 6mm² terminals had been used for the 6mm² cables.
Yeah I know all of that having spent the last 15 years of my working life panel building. My preference for this would be brass bars (like earth and neutral bars in CUs) and offered to to our chairman to fit some and even ordered them.
This is all 'hosted' by the halls admin so effectively nothing to do with me, I would like to know what's where and started chasing the cable runs while looking for the fault but they pass through 3 loft spaces, without assistance it's tricky and as is often the case in theatre the dahlings doesn't do wires and pliers.
