You'd have to be bloody useless to outright fail an assesment. If you fail any points you get 2 weeks or so to put them right and send in evidence. Another farce as all the other jobs said failee have done will continue to be substandard. It's not in the scammers interest to fail anyone as they won't get the company on their books for an annual assessment and the £400 that comes with it. You do not have to notify the job you are assessed on with LABC, it'll get notified when you eventually pass. It doesn't even matter if you don't notify within 28 days, I've been really busy on occasions and haven't got arround to it for 8 or 10 weeks, no problems and nothing said by ELECSA.

You are "supposed" to notify before assessment, unless LBC says otherwise. Like with most things in life tho.... :)
 
However, there is money in the pot to give aid to India (A country which can afford nuclear weapons and a space programme) Pakistan (see india minus the space programme) China (probably the fastest growing economy in the world) Argentina (still not offered any reparations for invading the Falklands)
Need I go on?


Why are we so deperate to send money overseas to countries that dont need it? You can bet your bottom dollar that there are a line of overseas diplomats all taking a nice cut for each of their departments. I'm all for cutting back, but not so the Gov of the day can spu*k it on whatever they like.
 
I think that many of us are feeling this way tbh mate. Mr Cameron talks about the Big Society and caring for each other. These guys prove that all they care about is a fast buck, and the law lets them get away with it, no questions asked...
know what you mean fella,I,ve been waiting about 6 months to see a specialist team to help with my BiPolar(at their suggestion)am still waiting as they are busy treating people with problems related to drug abuse!Caring big society dont make me laugh,

I can't see any council or Part P provider wanting you to pay an LBC fee when you are going to be able to do it yourself after assessment. Just doesn't make sense. (when does anything) When I did it when P came out there was no mention of notification beforehand, you were expected to just do a job and get it inspected. (obviously I don't know how it works now for new part pee'ers cos I've been in since the start)
 
I dont particularly agree with the amount of foreign aid given away, but it certainly, pound for pound, is the most economic way of saving peoples lives available. A million pounds spent on nonsensical H&S enforcement in this country may save 1 life, the same money donated to the poorest families in india may save a thousand.
Aid given to india goes to its millions upon millions of inhabitants who are on the verge of starvation, not to its space program.
The uk spends £47.6 billion a year on debt interest repayments. Those were, for a large part, debts accumulated, unrestricted, by labour, who never made any effort to halt the rate at which they increase. The tories have gone to great lengths to limit the uk's borrowing. Labour treated credit in the same manner that a large part of the population now treat it......free money that will allow us to have a great time now and we'll worry about repaying later (or let the tories worry about it).....

A few more years under Brown and the country would be fast heading the same way as Greece.


i'll guarantee not one penny was ever destined to help the poor,in old money its a backhander so they would buy planes and arms from us,which they didnt anyway..they basicaly said stop bribing us...

Hi Phil, one of my best friends had BiPolar. He was one special guy so i bet you are the same!

India actually give more foreign aid to other countries than the UK gives to them so I don't understand why the UK gives them aid if they don't need it

All i can say is, that you must be living in a different parallel dimension to everyone else, either that, or you were on cloud cuckoo land!! lol!! The only wealth these sell-offs gained, had nothing to do with anything benefiting the country...lol!!

Most of the government owned companies that were sold off couldn't of or wouldn't have got the investment they needed under government ownership to be in the market now, the government of the day sold off a lot ageing infrastructure along with these companies that has been upgraded ever since

The UK had very little gold reserve left, after Maggie and her successor!! lol!! That got somewhat diminished propping up the economy, after the TWO ''Boom & Bust'' periods during there term of tenure. Both those bust's cost the country S**t loads of money, whereas the Booms made the wealthy, a dammed sight wealthier!!

It had even less left under Brown and he sold it for a pittance and invested in Euros so who made the money on that deal

Believe me i'm no lefty, by any stretch of the imagination, i can say roughly the same, but in other areas for the Labour Party. But it's the so-called working class (even though they have nothing to conserve lol!!) die hard true blues that blindly follow, flying their all blue flags, while there getting well and truely shafted, that i enjoy telling a few truths too.

I seem to recall the working man being well and truly shafted by Labour in the seventies with their wage restraint policy then last time round they knocked hell out of the private pensions and the suggested we needed to put more money in as result of their raid

You'll have to enlighten me as to what industries, apart from maybe coal mining and car making would have become ''Stagnant'' under state ownership?? Are you maybe talking about the substantial oil and gas fields, or maybe British Gas, and the Regional Electrical Boards, ...Surely not BT?? lol!!!

Labour councils don't think any of them do a full days work

They did run a small military operation in the northern tribal areas a few weeks afterwards to root out Terry and his mates, then all of a sudden Osama is dead, not that there's any link or accusation of bribes...

Edit: Just noticed my quote was a bit obscure, it's reference the 'education aid' we gave them.
 
To be fair there is no doubt that the Falklands are geographically part of Argentina.

I think there is a great deal of doubt. In fact I'm fairly certain that it's geologically part of the UK. I've never been anywhere that looked more like the Brecon Beacons, so clearly the Falkland Islands were once part of Wales. Once Wales gains it's independence from the rest of the UK then they should have the Falkland Islands.

Isn't Wales populated by the original English who were pushed west when Britain was invaded? :)

The Falklands have been a British dependent territory since way before Argentina existed, the islanders are soon to have a referendum on whether they want to remain as they are now or become part of Argentina. Whatever they decide under the democratic process I'll support.
