i think nvq3 is advanced plunger throwing

I wouldnt know I have got C&G, parts 1 and 2, all this NVQ and different codes for qualifications beats me

(I dont know if its still part of the NVQ, but lead burning, lead wiping and flashings and glazing were part of a plumbers job)

I better get back to school, I never learnt this plunger lobbing

Is it still avaiulible at night school ?

Same here, C&G qualified and all those so called old school things we learned always come in handy. Shame they're not taught anymore, because if anything they taught us how use our hands to do a skilled job, not just write about it.

it should be, we dont want plumbers out there without the real skills required, dumbing down of quals if people are getting through without knowing how to throw a plunger

 

[Derrick229]

I really dont have a clue what they are taught with this NVQ thing, but the apprentices we had at LHR were pretty hopeless when it came to doing things on their own, but they had us 'old boys' to call on, it was easy for them to 'hide in the crowd'
I dont think they could make it in the 'big world'

What papers do these Polish/Latvian/Croation plumbers have ?
I have seen some horrendous jobs they have done (usually with JG push fits)
nothing against JG fittings, just where and when they are used and HOW
Anyone seen what papers they have ?
I havent

Dammit, back to school at my age

How far does it have to go ?
Is it from a bathroom window or kitchen ?

 

[fuzzy]

just start with something simple at first derrick, small plunger and aim for 10ft from a downstairs toilet window, imagine youve just cleared a particularly dirty mess, helps focus the mind on the throw

over time youll be doing 30ft from the landing through the bathroom window

the top guys can get it out of a window from a loft conversion with no opening windows, unblocking a toilet with poor fall and dodgy dergo, they earn big bucks

A woman goes to the Doctor with bruises on her face.
The Doctor asks: "What happened?"
The woman says: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every time my husband comes home drunk, he slaps me around."
The Doctor says: "I have a real good cure for that. When your husband comes home drunk, just take a glass of water and start swishing it around in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don't swallow it until he goes to bed and is asleep."
Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.
The woman says: "Doctor that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk, I swished with water. I swished and swished and he didn't touch me!
How does the water do that?"
The Doctor says: "The water does nothing …it's keeping your mouth shut that does the trick...."
