Re: Elica Cooker hood in CB11
thats what I thought Mark but was worth a punt ,I don’t do CB as it takes me way out into the sticks and is not cost effective .
I already do Elica ,may be worth you contacting them as they need cover in your area,ask to speak to Chris

Re: F$@kin’ Repairs@
The problem is you are already getting some that comment that they have never received a job ,and some that have had jobs .
Now you could run the line for those that have had none this would be a way of maximizing there opportunity,but of course you will then get those who say why do I need to pay I am getting loads anyway …
Either way you have a problem and not just Andy Trigg .. 😆Re: Jess1ca
trouble is you cant tell them to learn to write properly for fear of being accused of something….

😆kwatt wrote: I do think that the WTA should clarify what is considered a reasonable and acceptable expense and what isn’t. I’d also suggest a policy for determining how “things” that aren’t covered in general policy are to be handled, i.e., who says yae or nae to an expense claim and a guideline for it.
Drafting something now leave it with me

How do they compare price wise ?
kwatt wrote:, personally I think that all involved have pretty much proven they have a bit of that. Thing is, sh1t happens and people can’t make it… personal reasons, cat dies, business needs TLC… whatever… I don’t think that a “cast in stone” rule there would be helpful. Obligation or commitment to do it is enough methinks.
Agreed in spades :tup:

LawrenceRe: Amica
why not invite them to come to the meeting and meet us ,also the Amica work letter that everyone will have read before agreeing to do the work clearly states that Amica req all agents to be benchmarked ,also send back the relevant part of the document to anyone that disputes it

I am offended by that ,what I can see around me are two things ,those that try and make a difference and those that sit on the sidelines carping but never putting anything constructive into the pot ,I know this industry is not perfect and there are roguetraders.
The question is what do we do about ,talk or try and take action ..
Be my guest if you think that there is a better way ,what was it a traders licence through the post office ….
I and others have tried damned hard over the last three years to make a difference ,we have travelled the country and met at our own cost to produce something that will have teeth,if it doesn’t work so be it at least I can say I tried to change things not just talk ……Martin wrote:Regular assessment within any trade body is a blunt tool that hones nothing and no-one from their misdeeds or misgivings. Wearing a ‘I’m a good boy’ badge merely benefits both the creator of the badge and wearer in wearing it, but does bu&&er all good weeding out the outlaws such as our boy Clive.
Even if you pre vet people from joining an organisation ,you still have to assess them regularly otherwise it turns into an old boys club….

Re: bbc watchdog
Dr Dill
Take a look at the WTA website look for the about the WTA pull down then go to code of practice then scroll to the bottom where you will see “monitoring and compliance with this code” followed by disciplinary procedures .
We can’t stop people from joining on hear say that he or she is disreputable however by mystery shopping and code compliance monitoring any member that falls into the above category would soon fall foul of the COP .
Resulting in disciplinary action resulting in expulsion or remedial action and compliance .
Now before you tell me that they could kill someone in the meantime ,they could do that anyway ,but the more engineers that are working to a bench mark the more chance we have of supporting the good ones and weeding out the bad ones
