What Other Plumbing Videos Do You Watch?

Ffs, he’s really bad, he gives bad a bad name

It’s shocking

Surely no ones pay for his shite? Surely not.

There's loads of boiler videos out there, but most don't really tell you anything and you often come away none the wiser. They're often badly filmed and just show you what the fault is without demonstrating the diagnosis and repair. I hope HeatingGeek will keep making videos because some others good video makers have quickly lost interest and soon stopped making them.

I used to work for servowarm as a boiler engineer, I liked to solve the problems and got a good feeling from doing so, But servowarm liked part changers cos they made them money, this guy called 'tudgie" would change the parts that made most money first, so often his boiler fixes were £100's of pounds were mine were a lot less, when times got tough for them, I was laid off and todgie was kept on, he was a cretin but used as an example for any engineers starting at servowarm

" some of our engineers earn £35K per year" type of advert,,, and thats the trend most companies work from, So to see a decent lad sharing his knowledge is refreshing and puts back a little faith in humanity,

yes they did Tappy, some people even had tow bars fitted, that was one reason I started working for them, It was reflected in your wages though, the basic wage was £160 per week at a time when £200 was a typical plumbers pay, You could make bonus by selling stuff to the customer and a good way of doing that was putting parts on the boiler at the service, This was encouraged by servowarm, no one ever got bollocked for putting unnesseccary bits on a boiler in fact there was a league table of who sold the most boiler parts, the top sellers got awards, and the bottom 3 had to explain to the management why their takings were less than the leaders, Basicly you had to rip folks off to avoid a bollocking each month, I did't like that, So then the forced me to leave by making me drop the van off at weekends and holidays, Tudgie, got a new van every year, won free nights out and was hailed top engineer and he was thick as fuck, He could't fix a broken torchlight and they loved him, A funny story was he'd just fixed a boiler and was presenting the bill as the husband arrived home, It was for £450, a basic service at that time was £35, The husband went berserk and picked tudgie up by the collar and belt and through him out of the house, ha ha, served him right the robbing twat,

Mind that's some bending machine Dick and I loved the tip about silicon spray.
