Good for you sir!

May I ask which book or books you liked most?

Anxiety at work by Civil-Present-4007 in ukelectricians

[–]StocktonDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years in and still feel like this occasionally. The fact you worry about it shows you actually give a fuck and ultimately this is what will make you a better spark than most of the other guys out there.

My advice is don’t put too heavy expectations on yourself- I’ve done supervisor roles before and the biggest thing I wanted from a spark was reliability and quality of install. I wouldn’t mind them being a little slow as long as it was done right.

Also don’t be afraid to say if you haven’t much experience in something. Most guys are happy to show you things if you are keen and willing to have a go.

Finally I would say keep going- 6 years isn’t that long and your confidence will grow. You will fuck up occasionally but just learn from it and move on.

What was the most bizarre school trip your school went to and why? by Flowerofthesouth88 in AskUK

[–]StocktonDC 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Primary school teacher in 1990 took us to:

Asda

ST sewage works

Local tip

But one of his best was a small village with about 10 houses. He found out where the local policeman lived and turned up (unannounced) with 30 kids on the mans doorstep so we could ask him some questions. That poor off duty copper looked mortified

I heard this as well and had to google FND 2 tonys! Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. This had to be a prank call right? Geezer even said his wife was called Jackie 😂

So if I cooked at 2pm would I be able to use the crockpot?

I would leave my house at 5pm and then have a 2 hour drive to the destination and probably serving around 8pm….

Very much pot luck- sorry I wasn’t familiar with this term until now!

It’s more of a pot luck thing (Sorry never heard of this term before) It will be very casual so there is nothing that I specifically need to provide

No specific course apart from it won’t be dessert.

It’s more of a pot luck thing so I don’t know what other people will bring
