Open End Numb Legs Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 1 hour ago, CrackingCheeseGromit said: In fairness, and I detest the Gas more than most, but they do state electricians or plumbers, not just retired handymen. Tinpot in the extreme, but there is a difference. If they employ qualified electricians who will work to the latest regulations then all should be good, whether paid or working as volunteers. Unfortunately the message sent out suggests a less than professional approach. There are some serious points here. In health and safety law there are clear lines of responsibility which can land the management of the work in trouble if something goes wrong, the lawyers won't stop at the person who did the work. Humour aside, having worked professionally alongside electricians and been regularly trained in electrical safety (as well as other disciplines they could come across at the Mem such as asbestos safety), I find the advert worrying.

This week their supposedly professional club owned by the 6th richest man in football is posting on Facebook asking if there’s any old sparkies out there to have a go at electrical or plumbing work that should be done by fully qualified professionals. If I was a Slaghead I might think twice about using the hand dryers in the bogs next home match….presuming I attended the game, most don’t bother. They wonder why this thread exists? ******* tinpot.

Yes, I agree with that though of course by the time the proper guy/gal has attended site, inspected the work, tested it and provided all the paperwork, the bill for the club (with a premium for the short term work) would mean they might as well have just paid them to do it all and build a proper business relationship.

Big year for the fruit market too, if you don't sign up to the stadium project in the coming months then the opportunity will be gone. Could well be, it's there or abouts. I'd say there's for sure 9 teams you'd expect to have bigger budgets including Plymouth, Sheff Weds, Ipswich, Derby, Bolton, Barnsley, Peterborough, Charlton and Portsmouth and then you probably have the likes of ourselves, Oxford and Possibly Wycombe for the 10-12th places. (Wycombe seem to have been able to recruit really well since their stint in the CH) I also don't take much interest anymore. Haven't seen Rovers since JB and have only watched 3 or 4 live games elsewhere since. Find a way to take yourself out of the football world and you realise you don't really miss it. Though, I do enjoy the mini panic attacks on here recently about the possibility of a derby next season.
