Looks like they have been trained by Comcast.
Do yours require any sort of licensing to do those installs?

Our SKY and British Telecom installers don't need and formal qualifications or training to do this sort of ............. i was going to say this type of work but it would be an insult to us all !

And while we are close to the subject of vans !

I filled my van up yesterday and paid £1.27 per litre ( over $10 per gallon ! )
Its now costing me around £200 per week ( $400 )to go places in the van

The government are talking about playing **** movies at filling stations --

You can then watch some one else getting screwed other than yourself :whistling2:

From £1.27-£1.30 per litre around cornwall area for diseal prices, can be around £1.35 in Newquay and other tourist areas.
More jobs closer to home is the answer!

Bought a cheap [and I mean CHEAP] Astra Diesel estate in nov last year. Paid for itself in the money saved on fuel at end of march!! Used to use a Volvo estate:eek: and then the fuel prices went up:blink::blink:

oooh is that the dials that used to spin round trimy,around the time when you used to press the button on the phone to get your 1d back if you had made a local call from a red phone box :laughing:


That would be around the time when you used to get attended service,you wasn't allowed to put your own petrol in
