If you recieve no replies on here Stan; here's a thought: look out your window just to see if there's any kid you see on a regular basis who appears to be down on his luck, or ask around your neighbourhood, just to see if there's anyone who some may call a no-hoper.
Knock on his door and offer him the chance.
Just a thought.

A nice idea but if it was your house would you mind if the 'no hoper' was left to go in and out if every room venting radiators. Would you be happy to give them keys to your van and trust that they had locked it after fetching something.

I think your definition and idea of a "no-hoper" differs from mine.
 
Is this actually a paid position or are you looking for someone to work for free in exchange for on site experience?

Also what does this mean?
travel over the ground paid for

Sounds like a good opportunity for someone either way.

Good on ya stan. Glad to see you're busy mate.

Still steady jobs are coming , just replacing curent helper as he could not change his self to be good time keeping on the mornings 🙂

Steve is gone , could not keep basic I was asking for :
be on time at train station when I was waiting for him , could not bothered even to sent text saying running late ...and this is after working for me for the past 2 years
I had a discussion over this few times but he would not take it serious and I told him I can not do it anymore ! So I need some one to move tools about do all cleaning up and learn from me

Surely there must be someone on here that would bite your arm off for the chance!
 
You did 2 years ago 🙂 let's see if there is any more willing to learn and get abused at the same time 🙂 lol
I am waithing on few big jobs to be confirmed and could have lots of full new installs Lee ! If I get them I will need few plumbers , I was thinking of getting on Simon and you could come too should you have nothing on !

If you were a breakdown engineer I'd bite your hand off for the opportunity but I've done the installation stuff and I didn't really like it to be honest. I found it pretty repetitive after a while. Still a great opportunity for someone though.

Strange post? So you going to only accept breakdown work from now on?

It's not uncommon for some guys to just want to be servicing and breakdown engineers. Especially when they get to a certain age and don't really want to do all the hard graft that is involved in installs.

Could you speak Russian to me allday

Stan get down your local tech collage and grab a level 2 do him for a year then when he's level 3 just nod and pretend you know what he's talking about ........ That's what I would do

My Russian is not as good as my English , but if you could speak to me German I will make you a cup of tee + chocolate biscuits all day long
 
You don't even know what I can do ? But thanks !

Sorry fella. I didn't mean to offend. You're obviously a very good engineer. It's just that because of your company name I just assumed that you were primarily an installer. I was just making the point that I am crap at breakdowns and would love to learn more about them.

I enjoy doing plumbing and heating for the right price and I would not get bored from it ! I also hope one day to be regularly very busy as at the moment as it's coming to summer there isn't much happening apart from keeping pricing jobs , all 4/6 bedroom houses with 4/6 bathrooms full installs for a building company who seems to be interesting of using me , however none has been confirmed . In total there is 4 I have priced and they are sending paper work for the other 2 houses next week !

Why do you want to hear German?
can you read German?
Were the 2 questions I asked in German.
I lived in Germany for a number of years and speak it quite well.

Stan's long term plan is to migrate to Germany. So he does not want someone to write to him in German lingo. He needs someone to teach him the lingo 🙂 SEEMPLES

You must be close to Hanslope park or one of the other listening posts were loads of mod and mi5 types work. I was a teenager in Berlin. My Dad went over in the previous big building slump the for work he was an architect and project manager before retiring. The wall had been down about 3 years and all the land was being developed it was a mini boom. I was there when the last of the american troops pulled out. Weird getting of a school bus at 7:30 in the morning to a strange rumbling noise then to be confronted by tank barrels plowing through the morning fog. Once they got the order to go it all happened quite quick hundreds of transporters drove past us loaded with tanks humvees and all sorts. It was an emotional time lots of friends from my international school whent back to the states. Never saw most of them again. Came back to live with my mum when my parents decided they were getting divorced. Was there 3 years in total only took 1 to learn German 2 to be considered mother tongue. Dont use it now though so its pretty rusty.

That's fine. I'm away for the next three weeks on a sparky course. But after this I'm free. I PM'd you a couple weeks ago, not sure if you got it or not. But I'm definitely interested - more than interested in assisting you.

I have tools. A van. Based in West London. I'm reliable. I'm eager to learn.

If you need more details about me let me know.

Cheers
Jay

I'm 37. I can bend/solder, done a couple of rad installs (copper & LCS), WC/wash basin installs. I've only installed 1 bath. All of this was in a training academy I just trained with in a 6 week City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing course.

I will PM you my contact details. Weird that you didn't get my last PM :/

I can send you some pics of my pipe work if you want?
 
Ok , thank you ! So you have actually never been on a building site ? That's not a problem at all . Will keep in touch

Never. Well, only as a kid causing havoc! 😉

Oh, I'm fully PLI insured as well. Not sure if that's helpful or not?

I just want to say thank you. I know nothing has happened yet but you have no idea how much I appreciate even a hint of hope of working along side a plumber and learning.

Cheers
Will PM you my details now. Would you mind replying so I know you got it?
