    Show a little respect to your betters.



    .

    As the title says, show a little respect to your now,
    new better Member of the Institute Of Refrigeration.

    So doth your caps and tug your forelocks to a MinstR.

    Apologies to other MinstR ers out there but I don't know
    the funny hand shake, so I won't have recognised you.

    Congratulations dear Rob!

    Best regards, Josip

    It's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious...

    Don't ever underestimate the power of stupid people when they are in large groups.

    Please, don't teach me how to be stupid....
    No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.

    Institute Of Refrigeration is the society in the UK that governs our industry
    and sets the standards by which we should work, a bit like the USA's ASHRAE.

    As for Wicks, show a bit of respect please, I now order direct from Harrods.

    I can now play with the big boys

    They wanted a reference so i sent them some links to me doing actual work on my youtube channel. Apparently this isn't proof enough of competency, but they would have taken the word of one of my customers if one was to vouch for me.

    So basically they would not believe the evidence of their own eyes but would take the word of someone so completely unknowledgeable about our trade that they have to call in someone to fix things for them. At this point i think we both decided the other party was an idiot and give up the idea as a bad job

    I might have to up the dose on my flippant pills and try again

    I have often wondered like the old Groucho Marx quote "would I want to be in a club that had me as a member"
