I went to a job recently where they had been out to a cylinder leak. The "engineer" had just turned the stop tap off and left, said the AA wouldn't change the cylinder but him and his mate would as a private job cash in hand.
The cylinder kept leaking, flooded the kitchen as the header tank slowly emptied through the leaking seam on the cylinder.
Think they just turn up and supposed to make safe and leave, minimum work done so they can earn plenty of call out fees.

well just got back from my aa interview all went well just waiting to hear from them now....for those of you who also having an interview this is the layout i had today
on arrival they gave me a 40 question test to go through...all pretty basic questions and no one should really have any trouble with it
then got took into a room where a guy asked me to indentify 10 parts inside a baxi netatec (dont know wether it'll be same boiler on all interviews), again all basic stuff you should know and also test 2 components with a multimeter so brush up on this.
then had to identify faults on a pipework installation
then let by and soundness test using an anton analyser so you can print off results....i was unfamilier with the anton as ive always used kane so they ran through the use of it with.
once passed all this had to do a mini driving test in one of thier vans and indentify 4 signs from the highway code and must say i couldn't remember 2 of them so guessed!! not read the highway code since i passed my test years ago!!
once passed this had to fill in forms again....rememeber to take all certificate you have as well as passport utility bill etc..
then went for the actual interview with 2 area mangers where they fired a few questions at me...most notebly about the technical bullitin about flues in voids so read up on this. had a good chat with them and as i turned up in my work gear they had a little pop at me and said i should be wearing a suit....but they were fine and had a little laugh and joke with them about it.
all in all good interview with a team of nice guys....wont get my hopes up though as they are only looking for 2 ops in my area and are interviewing over 100.
so i hope this helps some people out.

Well done mate. What are you working in?
Youll be changing oil fitters while your draining down in no time
