THE PROOF= DIY gas work is almost always illegal

[Softus]

When Kev was a mod none of this dangerous c**p would have been tolerated.

Really? My recollection is different to yours.

The DIY/illegal argument is quite old and tired.

At least in the current regime the people taking part in the debate aren't able to delete the posts they simply don't like. That has to be a good thing.

 

[heatingman]

Just had a look on S/fix, everyones friend is still bashing away on this one, and even managed to get unvented into the debate/argument. He's just as popular over there.
He definitely needs to get out more

the law does not state that it is legal neither does it state that it is illegal as long as you are competent

Everything is legal unless the law states so.

The law does not state woodwork is illegal, so it is legal.

By your logic everything we do is illegal unless the law state so.

I notice that Kevplumb is from the US - and infact that is the way it is in the States. They have the constitution and that says what you can do.

Here in the UK, you can do anything, unless the law says you can't.

Things are not as they seem.

Depending on what you mean by "the law", you might be right, but you might be quite wrong.

just another in a long line of cyber trolls who derive some fiendish pleasure in promoting issues or topics that are guaranteed to wind people up, then they sit back and watch the sparks and fireworks fly.
then all they have to is constant repeat the same old tired mantra to stoke the fire.
throwing the occaisional cyber kill or abuse in for good measure.

the sad thing is that naive people read it and beleive it be so, leading them to carry out the grossly dangerous act being decribed.
it unfourtunate that the agitators dont suffer the sometimes catastrophic outcome.
they just sit and rub their hands in perverted glee.

I lurk on this forum and find it OK. This debate was interesting to me. What I found totally and utterly unacceptable and irresponsible going against the grain of free speech, was the deletion of posts made by Dr Drivel. Many of these contained extracts from government regulations and the HSE. I saw no abuse just raw facts. DR Drivel just gave back what was directed at him.

When the debate went from just hot air opinions to raw government facts proving points, his posts were shamelessly deleted. The mod on here who must a be a CORGI man must be removed from such a resposnible position.

This forum has a clear agenda related to promotion of CORGI members.

As a fellow CORGI member I find shame reading the utter slime from some CORGI members here.

 

[Balenza]

I totally agree with you.
Well said.

I dont see how you can come to that conclusion!

This site has a sticky posting on DIY gas work where, in accordance with the law and common sense, it advises that gas work is normally not attempted by anyone who is not either totally competent or CORGI registered.

This sites "clear agenda" should not encourage gas work by anyone not competent.

Its not our fault that the only gas registration body is currently CORGI but until that changes then safe working is only going to be obtained by using a CORGI registered person.

The same meaning would be obtained by saying only use a "registered person" if you dont like hearing the word CORGI.

Well put Tony, this site does not promote Corgi, just safe practises.
The only people that appear to moan about a compulsory registration scheme (doesn't matter who administers it) are the unregistered.
It cant be the fee's, in reality there minimal.
Plenty of other occupations have to undertake regular training updates to ensure compliance with new practises, pilots, doctors (specialist) HGV drivers, dont they have regular medicals to ensure good health. Never here them complaining. Therefore I can only assume the complainers have had a run in with the administrators, that would only be regarding competence.
The compulsory registration has restricted and removed the cowboy/bodger merchant which can only be a good thing, the random checks will clear a few more.
I can drive a car without a licence and insurance, but the law states I must, for the safety and protection of others. If I wish to trade as an RGI I must hold a licence, the law says I must.
Does this site also promote people by having there adverts, no its advertising which gives people a choice.

 

[Softus]

I saw no abuse just raw facts.

Really? Is any of these just a "raw fact"?

Yes, this one wants a closed shop so he can raise his rates. He also wants the bad old days of trade only outlets too. Do you want a tart thrown in with each job as well?

The opinons of people here are worthless.

Are you really that dumb?.

Some of these CORGI sharks are totally brainwashed.

So are you saying that DIY gas is ok

Of course it is OK you ***********.

where ?

Read the first post. It is big so take your time.

My God!!! They are like the brainwashed Hitler Youth.

Boy this one is slow. Read the first post!!!!!!

You are getting slower by the minute. ...Best you read the first post gain. You can shout it out loud as you go along - that will help.

**** cut Hitler Youth brainwashed ramble ****

But the Hitler Youth keep saying other things.

Oh NO!!! Not another Hitler Youth. Read the first post. It is clear you would get lost after the 2nd sentence.

HSE is concerned with trying to get CORGI men to do things properly. Boy, there are some cowboys amongst them.

This one is a clear NUT.

**** cut rambling nonsense ****

Most of you posting on this topic are clearly quite thick.

There is far too much unsafe work going on by Corgi ticket holders. That is their main focus.

On evidence on this thread, it is clear that to get a Corgi badge you need to fail an IQ test.

It is clear you quite dumb and can't understand soemething that is quite simple. I see why you have a Corgi badge.

I always did consider him stupid from the start.

No. Big Bucks, Low IQ

This post makes it clear that you have a low IQ.

A Corgis don't half spout it. They can't read either.

You must to learn to comprehend words. You are the sort who doesn't read instructions because you can't understand them, and ends up with a bag full of screws and nuts.

What a stupid analogy.

Graduate engineers don't need such low qualifications.

The mod (KevvieBaby) has been on the pop again. He is Corgi registered and doesn't like the truth.

You should not. As if you do DIY gas you are competent and don't get a con-artist bozo money grabbing CORGI shark.

______________________________

DR Drivel just gave back what was directed at him.

Do you have any examples of abuse being directed at him first?

...raw government facts proving points..

Do you have an example of such a raw government fact?

This forum has a clear agenda related to promotion of CORGI members.

I beg to differ. And I've seen quite a few topics over the years. And I'm not an RGI.

As a fellow CORGI member I find shame reading the utter slime from some CORGI members here.

Why? Do you think that CORGI members are automatically better people? Or better educated? Or more civilised? I can't think of any reason why they would be any of those things, since they have no choice about registration in order to legally carry on their trade.

Perhaps heatingman is DD's alter ego. New joining date and the only one EVER to back up DD

And DD hasn't posted since he has signed up

Perhaps admin should check both their IP addresses

I have only recently joined this forum and reading some of the posts in this thread have come to the conclusion that it should be locked as members of the general public reading these posts by so called experts would be forgiven in thinking they were listening to a bunch of school kids bickering about who should be in the gang than a bunch of RGI, i think it is a disgrace the profession.
