Are you a licensed plumber and gas fitter?  Well according to misses Matric today our licensed was asked to leave the job because his card said the following "The holder of this authorisation card must work under the supervision of" xxx. I checked with another guy that is a licensed plumber and certifying Drainlayer and it seems that card says the same thing. It does not specify exactly to what this applies and whether direct supervision is required (so believed misses Matric).  Obviously the public does not understand the politics of the PGDB and reads it as it is. Now that this has happened I can see how this can be misunderstood, thought it would be interesting to share.

.........perhaps a disclaimer should be put on all their publications as they did the gas cert (safety lol) system......

Dear customer........."insert board statement"......this may not represent common sense or the truth, or even what is actually written, please ring the mirrored tower of opulence (offices) for a legal spin from one of our highly paid spinners (lawyers).

It is her fault.....her "school boy" error was to believe her eyes and take what is written on face value......especially when dealing with Board. Silly customer.



Just thought of a name for the Mirrored tower of opulence on The Terrace......Faulty Tower......give Max a wig and a moustache and a Spanish accent, you got Manwell the waiter (...and we are always waiting for him).....hee's not a rat, hee's a 'amster.......

.......no actually Manwell....his name is Allan, but I can see where the confusion could start..........he even looks like a hamster.



It is beyond a joke how much they can f**** up all at once...... at ours and the publics expense......if it was us making a tenth of these mistakes.....we would be rushed into court and censured.......

hi guys, agin the board have been shown up tp be a waste of space,
... (all the client had to do was to ring the Board for confirmation.  They also claimed the supervision definition was on their website)... see how they try to make themselves indispensable and we pay for the privilege,cheers

hi guys, good call plumber,(Imagine being asked for your drivers licence every day for no reason and waiting for the cop while he calls NZ transport to make sure he can read it properly) one of the well paid lawyers probably wrote that,cheers

Hi Gordyplum

Sorry to disillusion you but the board do have a 0800 number

0800 743 262

But when you have a 0800 number you pay all the costs and who funds the A**holes WE do so I guess we are paying for the consumer to check up on us
