to much time on hands and not working ?
I wish! However I'll always take the time to try and better the future for me, my staff and other hard working honest sparks, but that's just me.

to much time on hands and not working ?
What systems?!?!? There are none, no one cares!
If I had recorded a few different codes, maybe not been very professional with the paperwork then no, however if I had made a dozen problems up, charged the customer £150 for a worthless piece of paper and coded everything wrong then I'd only have myself to blame if you were to confront me about it.
You don't hear the criminals confronted by Matt Alright and Dom Littlewood complaining do you? Coz they only have themselves to blame!
And there is a vast difference between being unprofessional, unqualified or inexperienced and being fraudulent in my opinion.
im sorry but in most cases "phsyical rekoning" is all they undertand. people are to quick to jump on there high horse, untill its thier mum, nan. grandpa. or such thats rippped off. then they want revenge.
take for instance the riots (although unconnected) if just one person had clocked the little robbers on thier chin the others would have taken a momnet to consider thier actions and that of the consiqueces.
im sorry but if i found a "trader" to be doing this as said above. i would do the same. be it because i value the trade, that i have spent many years aspiring to, or just the fact that i cant spare to see people ripped off. just this paragraph is getting my blood boiling.
you pay your money, you deserve a good, honest and reliable service.
many times i have walked away from a job unpaid. as it was just a case of the "old dear" didnt know how to replace a fuse or a wire had come loose.
im old school. but im honest. and i expect everyone eles to be the same.
There is a vast difference between someone who goes around, fleecing terminal cancer sufferers and little old ladies of tens of thousands of pounds and leaving their homes in an unliveable state whilst in the process robbing every local building supplier blind then folding the firm and starting again.....and somone who charges someone £150 for a report which contains fraudulent findings.
And with regards to you claiming to be (or not to be) a violent thug....you say that you are going to go to a complete strangers home with the intention of starting a confrontation, simply because you disagree with his EICR report and if he 'kicks off' you will assault him so severly that he needs to spend days or weeks in hospital. On his own doorstep.
Were his tests ok? Did you check his readings? Did he correctly verify bonding etc? Did he fail to report anything that could cause the home owner a danger? With regards the exposed wires, are you sure you have checked 100% that these didn't exist?
My point is did you carry out a full test and inspect to verify what he said is false?
Your jumping all over the inaccuracies of his report but have you fully checked and can you be sure he didn't do anything for his 150....
I wonder if when a solicitor or a doctor for example gives inaccurate advice whether other doctors turn up on there doorstep in the evening?
At the end of the day nobody should go to someone's HOME to confront them, it's unprofessional (I realise he may have also been unprofessional with his report). If it was a national company would you go to the directors house?
So report away, LABC will do nothing, CPS operators will do nothing, Trading Standards will do nothing.
One of the biggest cowboys in my town rides around in a van plastered in NICEIC, FMB, C&G logos and according to the rules he is competent.
And now you've got me thinking about national companies, who on here can honestly say they wouldn't like to head on over to Bob Diamond's house and give him a good slap if they became aware of its exact location?!?!?!
Off on a slight tangent I know, but I do just hate scumbag theives!
And there are the ones who don't do domestic but are more than competent at carrying out electrical work.
Why the hell should we have to pay the local council large amounts of cash to send some idiot around to check our work?
I for one, will do anything on my home without notifying the council. They get enough money off me in Council Tax.
no blanks shoddy?...give up dave...its a stonewall (1) is that....Wasn't meaning to have a pop mate. You are dead right, no blanks is shoddy, I missed that bit.
What I was getting at was that I know some very good sparks who do not necessarily fill their test sheets out exactly right every time. Doesn't make em bad sparkies.
In all honesty I tend to turbo fill my own sheets due to the fact I do about 3 EIC a week and its always about quater to five when Im doing them. I've always put whatever is written on the fuse carrier as max demand. There have probably been occasions where I have recorded the main supply OCPD incorrectly put I dont lose any sleep over it.
I also tend to blast through the tick boxes without paying them much attention (on an EIC not an EICR). I dont need a bloody bit of paper to remind me to use cable that has insulation around the core or to not put a 1mm on a 40amp MCB.
