iv got alot of time with plumbers no quals as yet BUT im starting collage this year.
all iv done since i left school is the building trade as i didnt see school as a meal ticket for life as a pen pusher so to speak i was more hands on id rather be grafting all week and earning £30 per to make tea sweep and fill skips then sit in class and learn french or R.E P,E ect i built my way up the ladder from tea boy to trainee/making good guy plastering and building.
at the age of 14/15 i was the only lad in my year that had the latest mobele phone 20 B&H and wage packet im dyslexic but where im not as smart in the head im cleaver with my hands.
Im sorry if you dont agree with the life style i wanted in life but thats just me deal with it im a grafter and will work twice as hard as your best man to show im up to the challenge
i learn all that i know from the streets of life......... just dont have the paper work YET saying im a smart arse!!!!!!!

But and i doo mean but im willing to learn from any one willing to show me
 
At the end of the day if you look at the criteria for entering the arms it says you need 1 or 2 hundred posts and be a plumber OR TRAINING!!

I had this argument when I wanted in. At the end of the day if people don't like it then that entry criteria needs changing

thanks supper plumb

Simple. You don't appear to have had any training or been taught anything to do with the trade. The fact that you don't know how to solder brass to brass or where to put ptfe on a fitting proves to me you shouldn't be let loose as a plumber in a house of an unsuspecting customer.
I've got no problem with newbies to the trade, but go the right route, work with someone who can teach you and/ or get training. Don't just put yourself out there and learn in customers houses, it's not fair on them and it's just not right.
 
I've got to this I'm finding this all somewhat of a witch hunt and rather like bullying. What's so special about this place anyway? There is more discussion on plumbing in the public forums than there is here. This place has more posts on complete rubbish than plumbing posts.

There was a time, and it's really not too long ago, that was the only way you could learn.
 
I really don't want it to come across as a witch hunt, and to be honest supper seems like a good laugh. It's just something I feel strongly about, imagine him working for a relative of yours?
Our trade is seen in disrepute to often to encourage behaviour like this. I have to stand next to guys like this in my suppliers and quote against them or put there work right after theyve got the cream of the job.
Im going to back out now and not say anymore on it, I've said my piece and you all know my feelings on it.

I don't hate you! Like I've said go about it the right way, there are guys in here that are learning and working with gsr,s and plumbers. Doing it the right way. I have ultimate respect for them and Im sure they'll make great tradesman.
Do it right and your fine by me and I'd invite you in any time.
 
ooh dont go, just get yourself into college and have some spelling lessons, dyxlexia is blamed for everything nowadays and half the time it's just poor teaching thats the isue, too many kids in a class etc etc. Took me ages to understand the written word, especially as I read from right to left when i started (not joking peeps) a good teacher spoted my issues and it all got better thereafter, and I was the trouble maker in class, always being beaten by some sadistic ****, and they wonder why we turn out the way we do! I still cant write clearly, bit like a spider in ink, hence my love of the computer and clear letters:)

Is that the real "isue" then Lame?
 
Aye but you had someone standing behind you ready to dish out a size 10 when you made a mistake

When doing gas jobs with my gas man I won't get the size 10......

I get the look if disappointment....

It's so much worse!!
I'd love a size 10 up the backside instead lol
