« on: 18 June 2012, 22:16 »
Get a call at 7 o clock from a guy who's toilet ' sounds like a bird singing' so I go there 45 min drive, diagnose the problem, new ball valve! He wont accept that, so I replace it anyway like for like, works fine, no need to touch it.
 Then he nearly falls over at the price, sorry mate There the prices....

I know this job is guna come back and bite me on the arse!!

Just get a call from him, ' the noise is back' and he's in the  bathroom making it do the noise, and wants me to go out now! Emergency? No

Some people just can't face they don't know what there on about! And why does be feel the need to touch it!

I give up! Roll on next week

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

1, you CAN get cancer at 21.
2, they MUST let you off for an interview if applying for another job IF you are being made redundant (otherwise they don't have too if you are leaving of your own free will, afaik)  though you probably need to give them sufficient time to cover you.

So you replaced the ball valve and it isn't fixed. Well clearly that wasn't the problem then.

It isn't an emergency but you can't get the arse because what you changed didn't fix the issue.

If you have an interview for another job, i don't think your employer can stop you, providing enough notice is given.
Leaving by free will or not.

Another one of those 'OP is shot down in flames' threads.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.
