The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

AnotherAnybody here with a gas supply? Everyone has a different provider for it, be it Powergen, Grittish Bas etc. But, as a housebuilder-in training, I know that (as someone mentioned before about OpenReach) there's only one company that can connect your gas up for you. Not naming names (begins with F, physics term for a pivot point) but they are the laziest bunch of arses there has ever been. They take 6 weeks to write up a plan for you (even though you have to tell them what to do and submit drawings) then request advance payment of a huge amount, then take another six weeks to come and do something about it.
We know the engineer who will come out, he tells us it's a days work at the most, but can't come until he gets the go ahead.
Bear in mind nationally there's about 160,000 houses built a year, and F is a giant company. What the hell do they do with the time?!
