I have no problem with newcomer having done a short course. They are a feature of the real world and suit some people.
I have no problem with him asking very basic questions and I have a predisposition to helping people.
However, when I ask him to privately tell me his CORGi number so that I can feel comfortable, he refuses ( almost rudely too ). I feel that is an unfriendly attitude towards me. To any genuine person I am happy to give advice on the phone when they encounter a problem with a boiler repair and several of the people who post here do just that. CORGI numbers are in the public domain anyway on their web site and have to be quoted if asked for when doing gas work.
I would not go to repair a boiler to anyone who refused to give me his name!
