New gas safe forum

[oldplumber]

Dans started a new forum for gas safe registered peeps only, so lets use it people and ensure we help each other without embarassing ourselves or encouraging those with limited knowledge to have a go. The team upstairs has responded to a request so lets make the best of it, and keep slagging off to a minimum, my stress levels are to high to cope with banter anyhow.

Where can we find this forum Oldplumber?

 

[Puddle]

It is a sub forum in the main gas forum,top box


Gas Safety Register Forum

You will have to supply reg details to be allowed entrance,as said for gas reg plumbers only

 

[Dan]

I've given access to those that have sent their license or registration number after checking them all on the GS website. I have to say, some very dodgy snapshots of you guys haha

 

[grahamgas]

Cheers Dan

 

[oldplumber]

Thanks to dan and his team for responding to a request for this at very short notice, I hope it allows us to get some answers from those in the know rather than those that think they know which can cause confusion sometimes

my snap shot has not been updated yet,think it may need a warning label

I think you may be right

 

[PlumbSafe]

is this the same as the gas chamber forum.

 

[Bernie2]

Hmm!

What next? An exclusive trade association?
Lets have a separate forum for JIB recognised Plumbers?
Only allowing entrance if you have a JIB grade card number?

The thing is if we keep on doing things like that, then we can't really call it a forum.

If you want to talk gas exclusively to gas fitters go on the Gas Safe site or the CORGI site.

If you want to talk exclusively to plumbers about Plumbing go on the Institute of Plumbing website.

I would hope this forum keeps on informing the general public about our trade and tries to help them as much as it can by giving the general public a chance to talk to trades people in an informal way.

 

[oldplumber]

you can please some people some of the time but cannt please all of them all of the time, that little saying obviously applies here then, luckily we are on a forum were one can have an opinion, which not everyone agrees with, but thats life isnt it.

Are we to assume your not gas safe and feel left out or do you really not like people with similar needs/queries etc being able to discuss things away from their potential customers etc?

We can assume the member is a respected member of the forums,who always gives a fair opinioned response to issues,whether you agreed or disagree with them
As a retired true tradesman,he is probably not gas safe reg,but with his experience and knowledge would have no problem being allowed in and posting in any of the forums here if he so wished

imho

 

[tamz]

I agree with puddle. We all know Bernie has some strong views on things (don't we all?) He has more than enough knowledge to contribute.

There would not be enough of us to have a JIB forum anyway

[PlumbBobBob]

i respect anything bernie has to say no matter what it is

 

[Bernie2]

Thank you all for your support in being allowed to express an opinion. I was Corgi registered for years but it would be a bit pointless registering with GasSafe as I no longer work.

But hey! Just because your not currently register does not mean you don't know about gas work, to think that is just silly. What is supposed to happen? Is your skill and knowledge supposed to melt away if your late registering as if by some kind of weird occurrence and then it comes back when you do register?

Lets be honest, most of us learnt our jobs many years ago but we still remember what we where taught all those years ago and reminded by the constant use of those skills over many years.

Good post lads.
