You know how sometimes you dont see the whole post, just a few words? Well then i got 'did his sister in law' '38C' 'pumped'

I think I'll go lay down......

Mike, what's the Intergas course? Oh and where? I've been asked about their boilers recently and don't have enough knowledge to answer.

It's a mornings course at Steve Willis Training at Burgess Hill. Puts me on their books as an approved installer and upgrades the standard two year warranty to five. If you look on their website there's a link for training courses.

Well if I were you, I'd sit down tonight and jot down dates of any run ins you've had with them. I know what you mean, but getting sacked won't do you any favours when looking for a new job!

Out of the ordinary behaviour can be caused by stress, its a sign of a man on the edge, IMO they have a duty of care to look out for your well being. I'm guessing this day off you had was due to not being able to face work?

Yeah it was hence the reason I never phoned in either. As I said I have a couple of mates who have to do these from the other side (Their the ones doing the sacking) and they have talked me through what I need to take with me how to conduct myself during the hearing and all my rights so I am ready for whatever they throw at me.
 
I've a few pump changes to do this week, a couple of hobs for my kitchen fitter mates and a few rads to change. Im slowly easing myself back into this work malarky..
 
Ball valve change, fire repair and boiler repair. Keeping it steady for a couple of weeks for the baby. Got 6 llsc to book in myself, need to check the due dates.

I'm off to an Intergas course in the morning and then Carr Taylor vineyard in the afternoon to test a van they've sited ready for the fruit pickers.

I done my gas training with the lad who's Dad does the training etc for Intergas pretty sure yes based in Kent. Meant to be very good boilers according to him, something like 12 year warranty ?
 
Wow. That's impressive.

I'm based in Kent. I'm going to look into doing their course too. That's quite a selling point.
 
The lad on my course absolutely raved about them.really sold them to me and I think price wise about the same as Worcester Bosch?

Might look into it. I'm quite fickle with boiler manufacturers at the moment. I'm swinging back in favour of Worcester Bosch's at the moment. I know I'll get some scorn for that, but there you go.

Someone wants me to fit a big combi. I think Intergas do a 42KW. I know WB do. I'll compare costs but if there aint much in it, I'll probably suggest the WB (just being honest).
 
The other advantage is the engineers case the size of a think briefcase cadets all the spares and the combi can be used as heat only or system I believe

I got a written warning and have been put on a performance review for the next month. went quite well was expecting worse but makes no sense to me why suspend someone on full pay for 2 days because I had 1 day off.
 
Sort of good news I suppose! Just hope they buck their ideas up and make the job less stressful for you mate!

BOD, I'm rather tall and unfit. I don't do running or hiding very well!!
