    TV proof that don't buy from PC world etc.

    96% of deliveries and repairs are sorted first time ? Maybe true cause they can't find half of the products they are dealing with on their system.

    I'm surprised the tech guys they talked about was trained gas fitters, to do an electricians job. Emmm isn't that illegal cause you have to be registered?

  • I saw an ad recently for techguys they wanted a someone to plumb, install gas, fit TV's, fix pc's etc all for £18,000 a year oh and drive a 7.5 ton lorry - training would be given for obtaining the driving licence - I doubt if anyone could be qualified for all of this at a suitable standard and if they were they would want more than £18,000 looks like techguys may be expecting far too much from their employee's
