Thats it Chris, I mean I moan like fuk about the job but in reality not many firms now have sick pay and good pensions etc, we got taken over by United Utilities who are a big firm, something like 17k workers worldwide.

Our workforce or 80% of it is only 10 yrs away from retirement age, so me at 29...im one of the youngest...lol....they didn't recruit in this area (Yorkshire) for like 10 yrs so we have no young uns' coming through....we tend to get worked to fuk but its prolly best job iv e ever had, Im doing something that could potentially and does at times save lives so there is some satisfaction from the job, also have to deal with a lot of w@nkers too.

Last I heard the average wage was around £22k PA.

Jimmy get your self sorted, you'll be so much more satisfied, why give others money for your hard work?

As a friend of mine would say, "Don't be a plodder"

Ive been known to lose my temper a bit, some ppl are idiots though, they moan if the gas gets cut off, but wanted you there in the first place to make it safe......wtf can you do??

One guy once locked his front door and told me I wasn't leaving until I sorted it out...I tried talking to him for about 20 mins but he was a thick cvnt, didn't want to know, in the end i just closed up the tool box and walked straight upto him, he ended up moving out the way and backing down, last thing you need at work is slapping the customer......lol

Well make a start towards doing something about it, no time like the present, otherwise you'll end up being 3 years down the line still saying the same thing.

Where as if you did something, in 3 years you could have your own very successful little business, ripping off people for their gas repairs, ;), working your own hours, answering to no one, (Except your 2 girls ), and your stress levels should be much reduced.

I know your right mate, ill prolly have to start doing a few side jobs and save up some start money to spring it into action. Getting a customer base or a long term contract to secure some regular work.

Like you say, no time is ever better than the present

Yes mate, we used to be Transco but up here in Yorks, Cumbria, North East we work under the Northern Gas network label, still the same personnel etc doing the same job, its just that Transco lost the right to hold all the emergency contracts in the UK so other firms could come in and bid for them. I think they lost ours, Scotland and the south West.

I thought you might big lad, I used to work for National Grid Transco about 2-3 years ago, I was one of the guys who had to call the drivers about their tools, etc most boring job Ive ever done!
