She did not like the look of them and said "Let's grow some conifers so that we cannot see them". Well the conifers would have stopped them working:-) Mind you, this was the same woman that asked for a pond building on a slope so that she could see the fish from the house. -- Adam |

I did get pushed into building a pond on a sloping garden. Nice job in the end, but a right old faff to get it all to work - something like six or seven different pondlets as a cascade and a big one top and bottom. |

Like we used to send the prentice off to see if he could find Mr R. Sole, somewhere - ask the girl on the desk to page him.. Or sent him to the stores for some unobtanium strip. |

I had one apprentice who after starting college asked me "why don't you ever sent me to fetch stuff like left handed screwdivers etc" I shouted at him "I sent you to fetch a ****ing Makita drill the other day from the van and you could not find it so why should I pay you to **** about looking for stuff that does not exist?

The subsisidy was always intended as an inducement to get the industry going. It has suceeded in this. The price of panels will come down too so it will be neither here nor there. You are talking drivel. The installers have never been busier as people try to beat the April deadline. |
