What’s app group for engineers !!!

[Dutchie79]

Anyone been added to a whats app group for “engineers” ??????

Added today to my first and no joke, one of the first posts was “is this ok ????”

Can’t add a picture to this but it was a picture of a hob with the gas line running down the center of wall immediately behind it.

Second question was how do I refill a conventional heating system ???

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Nope but on a few Facebook ones find a lot of them on there are short courses / new engys

Most of the questions / responses are taking the pee

Eg why are / what’s the lines / arrows for on a trv

Don’t class this as social media I’m not telling anyone about my dinner or tagging myself in at the pub.

What did you have?

This morning I woke to 4 selfies - because Sunday is selfie Sunday apparently - and some dude who’s “5 years in the trade” asking if the heating comes on when hot water is running should he change the divertor !!!!

F this

I’m out

Deleted, blocked - thank you and good night

 

[Scott_D]

How did you become a part of this group?

 

[Dutchie79]

Got a whats app from someone who was seemingly trawling the GSR sending out texts to join an engineers forum

 

[Riley]

Send the text on maybe we could troll for once

I found, in my fridge, 3 day old home made macaroni cheese and combined it with Easter Sunday's chicken.
I didn't go to the pub.

I tried a few of the Facebook pages in the past but I found half the questions were like "the boiler won't fire I've tried pcb fan electrodes diverter heat exchanger" and it's like they want you to tell then what part to try next and if you say test this or that they ignore you and then go with Fred who said it's the flux capacitor.

You then also get the people that will rip an install to pieces because they would of put 1 extra clip in but it's usually the ones that never put their pictures up.

Then there were a couple of things you should never do

1) never mention pricing because if your not charging £1m for a boiler change and £100k for a boiler service then you are too cheap and are ruining the trade, also remember that all areas can charge exactly the same and everybody should charge the same as London prices.

2) never ask which boilers are the best as the Worcester boys (most of which are installers only not many fans that do breakdowns) start shouting everybody down and then even worse are the viessman boys will start spouting specs and how they are the best installers going and how they never have any problems.

Then there are a couple of things you should do

1) empty your van into someone's house take a photo of all your tools in someone's kitchen on your brand new dust sheets and say this is me doing a boiler service if your not bringing a compressor in then your not doing it right.

2) slag off everybody else because you are the best and if other people are busier than you it's because they are too cheap and a busy fool.
