    Standing up to the pr4ts in Parliament

    That's my point I will be a worthless excercise . We had a simple yes and no vote and that has been altered beyond belief. It will still be the same MPs I place if we spoil the ballot paper. Lots of spin will alter the fact the natives are restless. It will be a 'we believe blah blah blah'...

    Standing up to the pr4ts in Parliament

    It's not just the party it's the system as well , Should be no such thing as a career politician and we also have way to many MPs. I am happy to spoil the vote however it wont do nothing imho. The whole system needs to be torn apart but cant see it ever happening .

    combi boilers choice

    Let's be honest here it wont matter what brand you go for they all fall to bits with aplomb. Imho you need to have it installed as per manufactures requirements otherwise you wont get a warranty or guarantee. That's the most important thing is how good your installer is. For what it's worth...

    What trade should get paid more ?

    Having a new boiler on the wall doesnt give bragging rights to friends or neighbours.New kitchens , bathrooms cars etc do. Personally think that the boiler industry is falling on its feet . Muppets doing them for a grand , manufacturers long warranties and endless finance. Give me 5 ball valves...

    Rich buggers paying late

    Probably the most bang on post about the modern day customer. Reminded me of a job I had done not so long ago , boiler repair in a pokey little kitchen. Crap everywhere left for me to move, had a time scale due to her only giving me an hour because this was an inconvenience to her through her...

    Rich buggers paying late

    That an interesting point as I'm also finding now that customers now think extras are in your price. I was doing a bathroom a while back and the stack became an issue. Customer just said move it to here so when I said it's about 280 extra he just looked bemused. Then quizzed it to death at the end

    Rich buggers paying late

    I had this last year finished a bathroom and when I asked for the money he said he needs to see if any leaks first. Took about 5 weeks to get paid was fuming . I have terms of payment but if you go down that route every time it can sully your name as they did pass my number on to others. I...

    What trade should get paid more ?

    My cousin is a tiler and got offered a job 36 k a year on the books plus van that is more than the gas jobs here. Some paint and dec jobs here are 28 k a year on the cards. Problem here is that gas and plumbing is swamped so wages are down mid to low trade. Think most are 24 k to 32 k firm...
