Good afternoon all, hope this is ok to post here.

We have a couple of vacancies at Tincknell Fuels Ltd for heating engineers.

When you say wishing to retrain, I'm gas qualified with no oil experience. Is that something you would consider?

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you myself, if you ring the main Tincknells number 01749 673661 from late morning on and ask for Richard Beck I'm sure he will be able to answer this question for you.
 
didn't you read the job spec, they want experienced and committed people to replace the ones like you 🙂 But they do have a lot of lorries needing drivers 🙂🙂🙂

you wouldn't understand Devon speak all oohs and aaghs and izzums is off down the pub, re digs not in the least, just dont appreciate some of the people the oil suppliers call engineers, as some of the things they leave behind beggars belief. Sell the oil and let the other bods do the servicing, then the customers can believe that not all heating technicians are :boxing_smiley:, omho, I am sure there are good ones as well, but having to prove that to irate aga owners can be hard.

Hey i can show the others up then!!
pop down, kip at yours too 😉
I can stay on the sofa right?

have to admit, while i was on holiday the boiler ran out of kero, parents had the suppliers engineer bleed it and "sort it" for some unknown reason he put the pump pressure right up.

i am playing, far more think skinned than that!

I'd love to hear a cockney trying to have a conversation with a Devon farmer 🙂

The annoying thing is I tend to pick up the West Country twang very easily!

Chris Evans played this on his breakfast show this morning. I sang along.

Seeing as the ex wife has family round that area, who all like me and hate her, I think I would probably die of liver failure.......

everyone says plumbers in short supply, however I counted 21 gas safe guys in Ilf alone, the number of plumbers is increasing all the time due to shortage of jobs and work rates seem to be dropping for them to get jobs. the biggest builders round here seem to be Pearce who cop all the council jobs, dont think Id want to fall under their wing though, I hate site work.
