Been in the industry since my apprenticeship in 1961, knackered now, glad to be passing on the baton to you worthy guys, wishing the best to all, I look forward to following your experiences with interest during my retirement. After over 53 years I hope you will still count me in as for "Electricians only"

Sorry son .. I was thinking more of Jack Daniels & Southern Comfort or ..... Moonshine!!!

I must get round to making a still ............... A couple of copper hot water cylinders with the heating coil inside would be a canny starting point I think.

Gas cooker- pan (semi sealed)- vent oot the top to the bit that goes through cooling coils linked the the cold tap- drain condensate into a vessel.
Pure alcohol fatha
We'll probably die but wtf!

Hellooooooooooo

 

[Rockingit]

Over-worked, under-paid, stressed, knackered back, dodgy knees, sandpaper for hands, trained dislike of the words 'bulb' and 'fusebox', file of certificates where my money used to be.......yep, I reckon I can say hello.

Oh I was thinking of something a bit more sophisticated than that son.

One cylinder with the heating coil inside to be the boiler heated by the coil connected to my central heating boiler - with the gas meter "on holiday".

The mash is fed in via the hole where the immersion heater normally is and sealed with a screwy in plug.

The vapours from that taken out the top outlet where the hot water normally comes out of - and into the top connection to the coil inside the second cylinder - this is our condenser - and the finished product emerges from the bottom connection of the coil. The cooling water is fed into the main body of the cylinder via its bottom connection - as normal - and emerges as normal from the top connection as waste.

Piece of pee ... what could possible go wrong??

No it doesn't. I saw through the scams at the very outset and had nowt to do with them

I have another bit of paper that has ACS printed on it which is my gas qualification and I had nowt to do with CORGI or Gas Safe either AND I don't have a TV licence!!!!

Sorry NO, you have failed the exam like a few others, you did not say hello (or a foreign version of hello) even though the question was dumbed down.

Only joking of cause you can.

Please post a hello in this thread if you are really an electrician,I mean a real Electrican, just wondering how many we actually have here, I will start==========Hello

Don't suppose this post was started soon after another one was closed by Marvo? From Oxford Dictionary. Electrician; , A person who installs and maintains electrical equipment. So Hello from me there. Real Electrician; no results. Real; lots of uses but as an adjective, Actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed. My Misses says I'm always imagining things, so I better say goodbye!:stooge_curly:

Hello, I've been doing this since 1974 and consider myself old school where common sense and safety prevail. I still draw circuits out on paper if I'm not sure about something. I still call Earth Sleeving Green Sleeving and MICC is still Pyro. I live on the Jurrassic Coast and am fossilising rapidly.

Ay-up! male chicken! (can't say ****!)

 

[Darkwood]

I used to be an Electrician but by modern standards I'm now over qualified... I mean look at the AM2 now the hardest parts of it have been removed like the conduit bending etc.... this was key to proofing your worth as the actual pipe you were given was about 20mm excess in length so no room for error really!

 

[jimmymac]

Hi all, I'm NOT an electrician anymore and never want to be again! Stick it!

 

[silverfox1]
