You certainly work hard in my opinion.. how the hell are you? lol I've been on the forums day and night for about 8 weeks now. But haven't asked how you guys are much, if at all.

There's not a chance on earth I'd let even 1 percent of this business go anywhere lol - There's not an investor on the planet that would know anything at all about this business. Even the one or two firms that by forums, run them into the ground.Hi Dan, my plumbing and heating business is enjoying its best year in 20 and 2020 is looking better.

I'm good mate. Well done for nearing the end of the course!
You'll be a perfect candidate for our new trainee / mentor area.
Is your teacher online?
That sounds brilliant!I dont think hes on the forum. Hes ex british gas engineer so hes been doing repairs and servicing before I was born.
After 5 years or so I might go into teaching too tbh. Thats the thing with the gas industry. There are so many avenues and channels you can persue.
hi Stigster.
I am from the Paradise island next.
I have retired to Spain been here 19 years, you can still buy a pint for 2.50€, I am just back on the forum after a few years,
How is business in Guernsey I understand it is booming in jersey.
Reading your post reminded me so much of Jersey.
Spot on Dad-work that is mate. Well done.Update on the daughter's car situation. She trashed her car on Saturday, Monday I went into work and asked the guys in the Motor Vehicle department to keep an eye out for a small auto. The motor vehicle technician said "It's your lucky day!" He'd literally just finished doing up a 1.4 litre Chevrolet Aveo with auto transmission. Was selling it for £1500 as he'd done a fair few hours on it and replaced the head and a few other things. It was a fair bit out of my price range but he said "£1200 seeing as it's you" and I went for it. It's in good order and been gone over by a very good mechanic which gives some peace of mind at least.
Unfortunately my daughter informed me yesterday that her driving license just expired so I've had to take the morning off and sort that out but as of an hour ago I got her back on the road.
I think that I should get a world record entry for going from smashed car on Saturday to on the road with a new one Tuesday. What a relief! Bonus fact - Her insurance only went up by £12 even after informing them about the accident so that's a relief.
what is the speed limit in Guernsey now.
I have not worked since?, plastic pipe for heating and water was starting to take hold, it never looks great. A nice plant /boiler room in copper looks so neat and tidy.
As as I can see people won't be able to use bending machines.
Here as in most of Europe , flexible from valve to tap is a good thing.

The house I've moved into has plastic welded 90 degree bends in all sink and basin waste pipes and its becoming a problem. I can't fix anything permanently around them (tiling etc) so I'm having to replace the lot one by one as I do other bits in the same room.Max speed limit is 35mph. People may laugh but it's fast enough given how many cars there are on the road, the fact than the majority of our roads are not truly suitable for two way traffic, not at any greater speed anyway. Any road within a certain distance of an "Urban Centre" has recently become 25mph.
There's plenty of plastic pipe going in but all of our students learn to be proficient in copper tube bending before they get too far in to the trade. Copper is my favourite plumbing material by far and I try to promote its use wherever possible and practical. We still teach lead work too even though it's no longer on the course. If an apprentice shows interest or an employer requests it we always put aside some time for them to learn. On this course they use some plastic but the majority of the tasks are in copper and also some steel.
I really disdain the way that plastic and pushfit has taken a lot of the craft away from the trade and allowed the rise of the builder/kitchen fitter/handyman who also does plumbing.
