Control Panel "erotica"

[Specialist]

Have to agree with hpotter, some of the Engineers working for the Nationals are exceptionally talented. I had the pleasure of working with & learning from some of them many years back, pity of it is that they're well outnumbered by the dross & end up getting a bad rep without doing anything wrong.

Having said that I've worked in much smaller companies where you may have 1 or 2 good engineers if your lucky but you often have a lot of slap happy engineers there as well that are not interested in doing the job properly, just grabbing the pay check at the end of the month. I worked for 1 company which was run by a Father & his 2 sons, the father was a pleasure to work with & an excellent engineer. The sons were a different matter, although taught by their father all they were interested in was slapping systems in & grabbing the cash & God help us if they had a fault, they would just bodge it &

run.

All nationals are an easy target ref slating, I know there are a lot of dross within. But over-all I truly believe there is a place for the nationals and although they will always have customers chipped away in the grand scheme of things it's factored in and nearly negelible.

i agree, i wouldn't have it any other way, if everybody did a good job and offered good value i wouldn't have any takeovers.

out of interest, where do you buy your balaclavas?

i don't use them, i'm more the blaze of glory type.

I worked for a firm just like that, the father wasn't an engineer though, ex copper.

lets be honest, we would all do it if we could.

who knows.

while we see really bad jobs in alarms, door entry/access installs imho are way and above amongst the worst examples of poor engineering ability.

Look again at the one i posted and you'll see that's exactly what the job was.

The culprits?

Same company you're so fond of telling us how good they are/were.

Jesus I only just noticed that pic, Yellow brigade by any chance. If an engineer working for me did a job like that i'd have him out the door without question, & I thought we saw some bad panels.

Nope, they're innocent.
