Incompetent or Dis-Interested Sparks of Today.

Zoomup

I recently viewed a shop that needs some electrical work to make the installation safe and reliable.

The owner said that I was the 5th sparks to attend as the others had either not turned up, initially turned up but then disappeared or appeared overwhelmed by the challenges involved.

Are modern sparks incompetent, lazy or just useless?

    The true fact is that electricians, like all human beings are not equal in many ways, including intelligence, integrity, motivation and conscientiousness, Those who are sole traders and not assessed regularly by a registration body are probably unable to be registered; Those who are registered are also not blameworthly, an openbook exam is not a challenge.
