Blithering Idiots

[transam]

Way I see it there are far to many engineers working for certain companys ?? that are under far to much pressure , constantly having to sell things , up there output , do it quicker , cut costs ect ect & who are to blame pencil pushers . paper shufflers D**ks in suits , most of whom would not know there back side from a pineapple (IMHO) but they never get the blame , they are never responsible , they just blame the bloke at the coal face always have always will

e , they just blame the bloke at the coal face always have always will

Ah the coal face - and who closed the coal faces and privatised the gas boards

Sorry for getting worked up over your replies

Gracious in victory eh?

Yes people make mistakes, but some people's mistakes are bit more serious than others. That's why punters like me rely on competent and skilled professionals like you to take a great deal of care when we hire you to check that an appliance that could be functioning dangerously isn't doing so and that when you leave the house it is safe. But, like you say, I shouldn't get worked up - my mate and his family weren't blown up and burnt to death.

Now can we leave it

If punters like you wouldn't stand over the "professionals" chewing their ears off while they're trying to work there would be a lot less mistakes.
I know you said your mate reckoned she was doing all the talking but that's only what he says.

I always make myself scarce when I have pro's in to do their jobs apart from offering refreshments or asking if they need something.

As for my friend, he's not an overly talkative chap so based on my knowledge of what he's like I'm inclined to believe him.

@Gasman77 - you made you point about it being a "simple" enough mistake, I've apologised for getting a bit irritated with your response and still you're behaving like a petulant child. Feel free to get lost now you tiresome little man.

Some of you lot are like kids..

 

[scatmanjohn]

good practice would be to LDF it afterwards also

Good practice? Mandatory I'd say

 

[ChrisOxford]

LDF = leak detection fluid? Or am I jumping to the wrong conclusion?

Am sure all MI's I've seen have said that checking the pressure test point for gas soundness after it's been used is mandatory.

 

[ChrisR]

It's a bit more than a "simple mistake".

If your working practice was to fill a system with WATER and leave the job without checking where you'd just been working, for leaks, you'd be negligent. And a prat.
