Oh you’re a baaaad man Alex! 😉

Yep got a mail from JP this morning about it actually, there’s only a £140 you bunch of tight sods! 😉
K.
Bloody hell!
On the new price list from Servis this part is:
719007000 DOOR HANDLE UNIT £25.00
That is a total rip off IMO!

That’s the situation with warning notices that I can see that we’re headed for Tom and the thing that worries me greatly. Anyone that’s ever had a need to call in Transco will know what I’m talking about here.
There are far fewer instances of a dangerous gas leak than there is of faulty wiring in a house, particularly in kitchens where we primarily work. Now, IMO, if the same sort of onus is put onto us then we are basically becoming sparks as well and we will all see a great many faults and have time eaten up trying to sort out things that we are neither fully qualified to do or paid to do. So we become, just as is the case with CORGI at times, an unpaid police force enforcing safety. With some of the botch jobs we see daily that’s going to cost the business dearly in time alone.

Just for you Del, yes we have passed the quarter million mark, but better than that, so far this month we’ve had:
Our best month ever for page views, 52885 as of two or so ago at midnight and we’re only at the 18th of the month!
Our busiest day in the forums!
Our busiest day ever with 4172 in a day!
I’m gobsmacked! 😯

Re: DASA!
Thank God I’m not the only one!
Yes I would agree that Chris has had his own way for far too long and I think that’s an iron grip worthy of Stalin.
I knew something was afoot in September, the breakfast meeting gave the game up 😉 But I didn’t want the subject to be aired in public and I still don’t either, or ever really but the issue has to be resolved one way or another to allow progression IMO.
Here’s a problem though, well two actually…
Me and Kevin! You all know I can be a bit of a bastard on the net and I have a reputation for having a bit of a crack at anyone and, if you lot ask me, I will have a go at Chris at the next council meeting but be prepared for sparks to fly if I get started or rubbed up the wrong way. I will not be diplomatic and I will not be subtle, it’s not my style. I will be blunt and to the point and I won’t give a flying if I upset the target of my tongue.
Thus far I’ve remained pretty quiet at the meetings and I know that Kevin will not fuck about either or take any shit.
Chris could still be an asset to DASA but right now (IMO) he’s a hinderance and standing in the way of progress to teh detriment of the organisation. End of story.
So it comes down to this IMO, he’s an employee of DASA, he does as his boss says just like any other employee, in this case the boss is the council. He takes the orders and follows them or leaves, it’s that simple.
As for him leaving, well I was always told that no-one is irreplacable and that applies to Chris as well and the council has to have the balls to call his bluff as I suspect that’s all it is for now. If he does leave, well cross that bridge when it appears, the organisation will go through some turmoil, yes, but then if he’d (God forbid) died erlier this year we’d be facing the same scenario anyway.
There’s some really clever people on the council now and they are dedicated to DASA and the betterment of the trade I can’t think of a better time to push the issue due to that. You have to ask, would we ever have such a good, foccussed and realistic team to pick up the pieces ever again?

You don’t need the full door Keith, just the door handle kit. They snap constantly on the 3022, or just about any Servis washer of recent times.
I can’t be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} as I don’t have the price list in front of me but from memory the handle kit is about £8 plus VAT I think and the part number is 72004000 although that’s from memory so may well be wrong. It’s pretty easy to change, if you want one let me know and I’ll see if I’ve got one tomorrow or get a hold of Dave_Conway as I’m sending him one tomorrow anyway.

LOL, that was Ted snoring! 😉

Look we men have been trying to figure that one out since the dawn of time, a few million years later we’re still no closer to an answer so it’s best just to live with it. 😉
