co alarm

[Puddle]

Just got my gas mag through and with it comes a flyer from Anton,on the front ,they are pushing their new portable co alarm by Eikon,they are selling

What a great piece of kit,every gas safe Inspectors have one and so should all engineers,good to see the Anton bring such a devise out to look after our safety

However do not think it is safety they are thinking about so much as profit ,they want £160 ish for the pleasure and only lasts 2 years and then you throw it away,no way should this unit cost more than £60.00. Still giving them a good healthy profit ...rip off city... they should be ashamed of their selves

imho

One of my mentors had a knife put to his throat and told to turn a commercial cooker back on or he'd become part of today's special!

Lots of people just don't care because they don't see or understand the immediate danger. All they seem to care about is the immediate inconvenience or the money it will cost to put it right.

Did anyone get paid by any chance or was it a free abusing for doing your job and possibly saving their life

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I charged them £100

many years ago when i was a bit hotter headed i did a gas safety for a guy and had to id the boiler and cap the meter for a massive gas leak of course he didnt want to pay me as he felt he only had to pay if it passed
after 20mins of arguing which include him throwing the invoice in my face he made the near fatal mistake of jabbing me in the chest he might not have paid me but im sure the new glasses and slightly wonky nose didnt make him look better ,cant beat the glasgow kiss

 

[SafeGasInstall]
