@blod no mate I told them to stick it 2 days ago. I was only there 2 weeks. I would have been in the poor house. You also had to pay THEM for use of their vans. 140 quid a week.

Re: good price for that job?

The other guys they had working were clueless, they sent me to a tribune he cylinder with a trickle of water coming through the ceiling, they said the other engineer couldn't work out what was going on. I got there, the tundish was on the kermit and the cylinder was passing when it got hot and the water was going all over the cupboard floor and leaking through the staircase. The other engineer showed up and tried to pump the hw vessel to 6 bar????? and left, didn't even switch the heating or hw on.
I remade the discharge pipework in about 10 minutes so at least it was passing safely and told them they needed a tprv. They said they would give me 80 quid as there was no unvented in the book and while I was at it could I go next door and fit a pump.

True mate. One place I work for deals with women's refuges and kids homes, they can sleep all they like tho I'm paid by the hour 35 notes plus parts :) that's just for plumbing , gas is more and the guarantee me 14 hours a week. So it all helps.

Yeah I've been in a few of the female hostels and found them a strange place to work, at least you are guaranteed something.
