    Erm, I did use the word briefly 😉. At 18 I barely had a clue, at 25 I had more of a clue at 42. Whilst I'm not rich, I've always treated work as a way to progress educationally and financially. No jobs for life, do what she can for a couple of years and always look at the next step. Granted like all jobs, if you have family in the trades it's a step up. Tree guys usually with plumbers and sparkles.

    The actual question she should be asking is how much will they take home during an apprenticeship and how that increases. Back in the old days, a 2/3rd job wasn't unusual. I briefly did an awful apprenticeship in IT for a couple of years, something slave like at £80 a week with retail work paying that in a day!.
  3. Says the turncoat that doesn't believe in voting.
  4. Jebus christ Mick, I vote in my elections. Ergo I have a right to criticise, you DON'T vote ergo no right.
  5. How is that inventing basic parameters. Just paying taxes entitles you to the benefits of that country and it's protection, non Dom's pay tax but can't vote as far as I'm aware. Actually casting a vote entitles you the right to criticise, that's the simple thing. People fought and died for that right, so use it or hold your peace until you do.
  6. Seeing that I don't live in the USA no, but I did in all of those that are in the country I live in. So instead of being all dismissive and quiet, why not say when the last time you voted. UK election? UK local election? Or as your in France did you atleast do you local or national?. Atleast one or more of the above is a minimum!.
  7. And democracy means if enough people want something it can... Drum roll please... CHANGE.
  8. And what you trying to prove, I actually said advocate for change!. Ergo, signed the petition. Still not saying if you voted are you!.
  9. They described Johnson as a blue watermelon. Blue conservative paint over a green eco mental skin and a red labour inside.
  10. True, but at the same time I always vote in any election where I can so that gives me the right to complain. That's local and national, if Mick hasn't done either then I'm sorry but like taxes, it's the price of living in a civilised society.
  11. So describe the actions of a government that wants to squeeze the blood out of every stone and piece of gravel in a way that doesn't involve said image. Other than you shall have nothing and be happy!. And for the audience did you vote in this last election?
  12. Oh yes the multi millionaire Stewart Lee and his almost irrelevant comedy that's barely evolved since his MMU student days. He probably knocked one off thinking about Kier as he wrote his "hit" piece about Clarkson.
  13. Have I said that no, so you just want everyone to shut up and be good little boys whilst uncle Rolf & Jimmy have their wicked way ?. So, instead of just poo pooing. What would YOU do, other than grab the KY ?.
  14. Maybe take your head out of a plant pot and actually look at what it's going to do to ALL sectors of the economy. Unless you're safely sitting on your guilded public sector perch lording about thinking of the lovely pension when you retire early ?. Or is just because you're not here so couldn't give two shiny poos?.
  15. So you'd just like everyone that's getting well and truly shafted to just suck it up like a good boy and not even make your MP and PM aware how utterly piss poorly and tone deaf there actions are ?.
  16. Those were self elected war lords tho, it's just a messy version of a military takeover like Burma, Pinochet, Stalin, Hitler etc. It's just the political version of a cop out, democracy is the worst option except all the others. It's a bit like saying slavery or the poor house wasn't all bad, they got a bed and meals.
  17. Welcome to the human zoo, the hotel California
  18. Still legal unless it's a new install
  19. Think it was more brought down by brown, Blair and dishy. Not sure about John Major, as the only interesting thing he did was Edwina and spitting image
  20. The side with the pipe going to the boiler was usually set so it's say 1.5" higher say on the left. Allowed the water sediment to collect on the right and usually had another blanked outlet to allow it to be periodically removed once the tank was empty.
  21. Is it a two pipe tank or just a single line ?. Might be worth looking at either an inline water absorber or one of those hang in the tank sock things. Was also a reason older tanks were kept at an angle, so the outlet sat above any accumulated water.
  22. Yeap, was just saying start simple to identify the problem instead of thinking automatically it's something more in-depth 🙂
  23. Ah, so it's as your Mrs/lady by the hour would call constructive criticism.
  24. Well you obviously do to keep moaning about it, over a million now!.
  25. So try jump starting before delving any deeper, we've all had it even on tractor batteries. Even when the battery conditioners say it's good, come to crank and nothing especially on start stop equipment like chippers, forklifts etc. Best thing I ever did was fit battery monitors/balance charger sockets, flashing green light or amber and it's time for a charge or a heavy bit of use.
