[Dudley]

Don't listen to that **** you do what is best for you. Other people have no right to assume that a women can't do a compitent job or better as 'Gas man', say's small minded bigots (well worded Gas man).

I don't really understand what u mean, told him what was for you?

Thanks, glad not all me think women can't be plumbers!

Oops I phoned a few plumbers asking if they would take on an apprentice, before the bloke answered my question he asked who was it for and I said the apprenticeship was for me!

well Ive drove past 3 different females at the plumb centre in recent wks, all employed by British gas. They where Young-ish girls aswell. I think Brit Gas are very PC when it comes to this and welcome female applications

hi, i'm a female engineer and can honestly say i've had very few problems with the blokes i work with

Maybe with it being a male dominated job,it is just genuine surprise and taken off guard.Once they think about it,they probably would not find a problem,must be frustrating for you getting silences and awkward responses
I have worked with a few women gas and boiler repair plumbers and have not had a problem
Like it or not ,as said you are wanting to get involved in a traditional male trade and certain barriers will have to be broken down,I do not think strength is a big factor anymore,look at it this way,years from now,you can say you helped open up the trade for women and if it is worth owt,I think it is a trade worth your efforts to break into,keep banging on those doors


imho
