I'm not being critical as I know we all have to learn but is this guys input starting to worry anybody??

im just really hoping he's not doing it in paying customers houses as I'm sure he said he was studying gas but has zero plumbing experience!!

a little knowledge and all that I just hope he's not another supperplumb

 

[Rickster123]

You don't want him in the arms then??

 

[Riley]

Well is he even a pro?? This is my point he talks as if he's doing the job but just seems to know nothing. Maybe I'm doing him a disservice. He said he wanted to be able to diagnose a broken boiler in someone's house but says openly that he has failed his ACS. Dunno maybe it's just the hangover talking.

No I agree entirely. Just didn't think I'd sound festive if I called him a pleb.

See like two peas in a pod :17: :19:

You and him? You're not a pleb mate. A plum maybe but not a pleb...

Oh I'm the golden child in the eyes of the in laws. They don't like their own offspring.

Great news team, another dick for me to crusade against.

 

[Riley]

Adam??

 

[Chalked]

I think we shoud ask him about his background, what he is doing and where he is going. Then he can be helped along a bit.
If he gets too much abuse, he will leave and do the work anyway.

 

[Riley]

It's very true mate. I wasn't on a witch hunt I just get concerned when there is a basic lack of knowledge which you'd get with college and apprenticeship it was the doing gas before any sort of plumbing that set alarm bells ringing

If I recall ......
Help, my boiler isn`t working was his 1st post, I have 2 girls and it`s freezing turned into I live alone later on. Then I think it is ok if I hang a boiler and do the pipework then somebody else signs it off which I can`t do as I`ve failed the ACS test (The one where you work out what`s wrong on a board).

Then I`m looking for a company / working with a plumber. Now he is chipping in with advice or advising to search on Google. I believe he is young and possible dangerous to himself if my view counts for anything.

 

[Riley]

Totally agree RPM I don't know if you were around for the supperplumb fiasco but these were the sort of early doors stuff we got from him and that didn't end well

Oh yeah I remember the king of PTFE tape who doubled up as a DJ some evenings until he was caught out.

 

[Last Plumber]

I felt a bit sorry for the geezer at first because he comes across like he's a guy who is trying to get somewhere but I am beginning to think that his name gives that impression. He does ask a lot of questions but not really the type you would expect a trainee to ask are they ?

You say golden child and I immediately think......

 

[Riley]

No words croppie

 

[Last Plumber]

I've just read that post about sticking two magnets on each side of heating pipe........Now I really do wonder why anyone with half an idea about heating would do that???

That's mad as a box of frogs !

 

[Riley]

Go on Leo start working your magic ☺

He`s been asked twice today and hasn`t responded as yet.

 

[Riley]

I reckon he's either a diy hero that reckons he knows more than he does or he's working very illegally???

Being the season of goodwill and all that I`m willing to wait.
