Good luck parking your car outside your house on a terraced street. And even if they mark the spot for you. Still good luck, because no one cares about that when they are trying to park.
On street charging - has anyone explained to (1) the government and (2) the people driving cars that no-one has a right to park outside their home (or anywhere else on the public carriageway for that matter)? Shell out hundreds of pounds for a kerbside charger outside your front gate only to find somebody else parked in 'your' space (probably a spark installing another kerbside charger two doors down). Still, £350 is £350...
Oh - and another thing - what are the chances of your shiny new charger, sitting on the footpath, NOT being vandalised?
£350 for the sparkler, and we have to deduct £4000+ to pay for the civil/plant construction. Sounds like a great deal.
You know where the money is buried 😉
I'm sure the apprentice will think its a windup when i tell him to chase the pavement out 😂 and when we go back a week later because the utilities has dug it up
It's a shame I'm only just now training to become an electrician, if I had a few years experience that position in Antarctica looks like the position of a lifetime
£350 Where do they park their horse when carrying out the work......yeeee haaaa . ..
😂
Just looked at the job for South Pole. 23k isn’t a lot even considering bed and board.
£350 bit on the low side for an installation isn't it? Specifically in London!
Don't think there'll be many jobs that are less... 😂
Growth in electric lorrys ? Won't hold my breath.
Time will tell...
Go on hold your breath
You need a 40 ton battery to get decent range... unfortunately this then leaves no room for any cargo..😅
@@chrisfs150 tell that to London transport that run 108 electric double deckers
@@bernardcharlesworth9860 is that the same london transport thats 15 billion in debt ( at the end of 2023) Partly due to running 108 inefficient, overly expensive, imported from china elctric buses...? Oh yes. Yes it is....
I spent over 2years working down there for BAS, you won't see any huskies, they've been banned since 1994
thank you very much. The selected words of the week are tooth and husky . . It's really fun to see the electricity news, I appreciate it very much.
We charge on our street via lampost chargers which has been great but recently they have switched from Ubertricity to Shell (same company it turns out) have taken the over & doubled the cost per kw! So this grant is fantastic new we can always park outside despite being a terraced street (nice neighbourhood) however Hounslow Council won’t allow us to get the gullie installed in the pavement.! What’s the point in the bloody grant!!
Great news weekly as always Joe 👍
Any work on a county High way , the contractor had to have a section 51, so if you took up paving and some one tripped over your finished work ? a court case ? BE ADVISED AND ASK THE COUCIL BEFORE YOU QUOTE THE CUSTOMER . DUE DILEDENCE . The Government said an oven ready Brexit , so are they going to let any Sparks dig the pavement up . ?????? 🤔🤨
Yep the liability will probably extend beyond the time you are doing the work. Who’s responsible for the gully? Someone trips up in 5 years time?
I have a question, I'm a beginner electrician and I saw the as code on the Wiha tool profile, are they of good quality, some people say they are not and that they are made in Vietnam. Give me some advice.
When will eFIXX be reporting on working conditions in the Antarctic? A special report on working in -10C........ Even colder than Yorkshire😁
😂 I would genuinely love to do that, I've always been fascinated by polar exploration. Bit outside our budget at the moment. 🤔
Baronet and spectre, great edition of the news as always.
Thanks Sean, and good guesses. 😊
Sweeping and Rolls-Royce
Thumbsup/Baronet/Sweeping/Mansion/Beasts/Sun Soaked/Husky..one of them must be..
Problem with the Ozev grants... Just like before... It's not worth the aggravation and paperwork for smaller operations. Customers will just see it as a discount they're entitled to. Will only benefit bigger boys with teams of office waddlers.
The two words tie in with Rick being the new James Bond and his husky voice 😂
Controversial 👀
Are we ever anything else?!
A bit like your prices 🤣
Yeah, one of customers has one great idea, however he has a dedicated parking space. If I was paying for it to be installed I would expect the parking space to be allocated to my property and that open another can of worms.
Husky and rolls royce spectre also where's my prize from a couple of weeks ago 😂
Two weeks?! We've got people on here been waiting months! 😂 Seriously though, our aplogies, there'll be a load of prizes going out next week.
Baronet & spectre 🤞
Good guesses, listen to next week's show to see if you're right! 😃
Baronet, beasts.
Good guesses Mark, listen to next Monday's show to see if you got it! 😊
It's gotta be Baronet and Husky. 😮💨
Nice guesses there Mike, with the second one also describing my voice this week. 😂
Husky and Rolls-Royce Spectre 🌩🐦
Really a bit off-putting the amount of sponsorship. It has a feel lacking impartiality. Like watching QVC
Don’t think QVC do news? 📰 Which part do you feel lacks impartiality?
Baronet and Husky
Never recieved anything when I won last year....
Apologies Roger, we're processing a load of prizes next week. 🙏
Spectre and Husky...
The selected words of the week are tooth and husky
Baronet and Beasts
Good guesses Mark, listen to next Monday's show to see if you're right. 😊
Sunsoaked baronet?
hopped and spectre
Lets go spectre and husky. 👍🏼
Good guesses Neil, make sure you tune in next week to see if you got it. 😃
Dang it. No. Got it wrong this week ! Next time.
Souns good that job in the cold. Not sure the mrs would like it though
Spectre and Husky are the two words .
The two words tie in with Rick being the new James Bond and his husky voice 😂
Great news weekly as always Joe 👍
Baronet and husky 🤞
Great guesses! Make sure you listen to next week's show to see if you got it. 💪
Crazy, your asking for trouble if you install a charger in a street where anyone can park, let alone vandalise.

Tooth, spectre
He’s back at it again boys

Dam stupid re the guys for ev There are better solutions which avoid this stupid dangerous alteration to the pavement. Anyone intersted look for more information there are units which fold out and are above human height that cross the pavement to thr car. The other stupid part is all the arguments that will take place over car parking outside your own house.
Baronet and Husky
Nice guesses, listen in next week to see if you got it! 😃
