Get What u Pay For

Just a quick post after reading about the super rods.

As electricians we are genrally well paid .

But i read a lot of posts about how you can make an r2 trail lead from singles and save £40 . how we can get cheaper rods at screwfix, cheap programmes for printing electrical certs.
Cheap business cards from vista print

Etc Etc

Surely if you turn up to quote for contracts in battered up estates/vans with makeshift tools and issue poor looking certs . Then surely you send out an image that you dont care and have little pride.

You may be the best electrician around, but image is the 1st impression.

Ok if you are recomended then they will accept you reguardless.

And i know it is a recession so money is tight but sometimes cutting costs if false economy

Eddie, I ain't trying to provoke a reaction, mate, that ain't the way I roll. It is my opinion though and I think I'm entitled to it. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but you seem to be under the impression that it ends there, and that because you are enitled to it, then it must be the be-all and end-all. And please don't be under the impression that Durham was barred for arguing with you - he was barred for swearing and that bar has been lifted as it was obvious he was provoked. Until you are a moderator please do not threaten me with banning.

I don't particularly want to have a barney with anyone, but I do think that all this 'oh it's my opinion' stuff doesnt apply to personally insulting people and calling them a cowboy. Anyone who did not see the original deleted post can't really comment but it is certainly MY opinion that it was bear-baiting and designed to provoke a reaction. I'm sorry if this is not the case but that is certainly what it looked like to me. That said, if any mods do think that I am trying to pick a fight, I will be more than happy to take down these posts.
