I have never poured scorn on anyone on this Forum.


There are always people cleverer than me as I lose track of new technology.


Being now unemployed / retired I like to share what knowledge I have .


I have just offered my advice.


This might not always of been a solution to a problem.


But maintainance is always a sequence of proceedures to narrow down options to a final solution to a problem.


Maintainance was always the bug bear of telecoms companys because it did not produce a profit.


Contruction engingeers installing new systems made money/profit.


people do not like paying for things that should already be working..


so many things can be fixed by individuals for free with just a little help.


It does not cost anything to fix most problems, only a persons time.


Sometimes this time is invaluable and justified and I am not saying that these people


do not deserve what they charge.


It is like anything. If you need a builder or a plumber, then you have to pay.



But building , plumbing , electrical installation requires quallifications and


computer maintenance does not. so anyone can learn.

You have to be aware and adhere to many regulaitions reguarding


Water Pressure.


Water Feeds and flow Non return valves..


Drainage


Soil pipes.


Earth Bonding. Requires electrical qualification.


There are as many regs for plumbing as there are for electrical work.


Each water Authority seems to have there own rules.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
