lets treat the new posters with some respect

[lame plumber]

Hi I'm on a rant here. Too often someone comes to the forum asking for advice on how to be a plumber and they are shot down and abused by some. In my own little world I find this repulsive, especially if these guys are mature as some are and exservices as the one was who I felt was treated badly today. We are here to answer questions, obviously an idiot diyer asking about how to strip down his boiler gets a a look above at the header. However just because some feel the only way to become a plumber is to go to college for 4 years and do tech certs and nvqs to prove they are plumbers and ready to go, that is your opinion and your allowed it. However Ive had to work with the output of some of thses colleges and theres a lot to be desired and some of these kids should never have got past term 1 imho. There are also people out there who have a mass of experience in life and are changing roles so lets help them, I know who Id rather employ in the long term. These servicemen have had upto 20 years in a constant training environment so they are used to learning and gaining a tech cert will be a doddle for them. doing a fast track course isnt the best maybe but its there and works, if they start off small and work up then why are we not willing to encourage them all the way. if the guy tonight having a go is so worried, then prehaps he ought to reexamine why he is in teaching in the first place, because he sent out all the wrong vibes and despite his great knowledge and experience which is obvious he totally lost my respect of him today as a person.

I have to say I agree . . .

Its not all the time but it is embarassing when out of 10 post made by the general public - 7-8 of them end up being offended!

I not sure we should shoot down anyone - even an idiot DIYer working on their boiler.

Tell em the truth - yes of course!

Tell em they are a numpty - no I dont think so . . ..

Do we really want to be pulling each other down in front of the general public?

It was a lad in the army looking at getting into the plumbing game, think it was yesterday.

 

[Rickster123]

Didn't think it looked that serious. Just a difference of opinion really.

 

[deandive]

thread was 'help what do I need to be a plumber' couldnt agree more with lame a bit of respect would go a long way

Anybody else excited now? No? Just me?!

 

[lame plumber]

A bit of help for someone whos already been shafted was called for, not some of the responses given. Prehaps if some of the posters practiced customer care on here, they might see an improvement in their profits in future!

 

[Whn1]

What about the sweaty fat girl?

 

[Rickster123]

No fighting chaps. Not on a Monday. Let's all get in the arms and a drink on croppies account.

 

[Rickster123]

What about the sweaty fat girl?

No! Pork pies!
