Its the top rating for fire rated cable. You get fp200, fp400 and fp600. It just means they are protected against fire for longer. It enables people to use lifts in fires if theyre on the 45th floor.

i have a very width range of music choice, going from the 50's up to the 00's and beyond (i'm 47), in different music styles, but yes, David Bowie is not part of it. Him compared to say Bruce Springsteen, Roy Orbison, Elvis, or Bono (U2) is like day and night difference.

@chrismason3341 prince very talented multi instrumentalist. Not only could he play every instrument as well, he produced from a young age, understood the business too, and negotiated really well refusing to go to LA and be dictated to by the label. Any musian will tell you he knew music, you may not like his music but his talent isn't in question. I think it comes down to not liking artists who have a prrsona. That is OK. Elvis has a persona I thought he was overrated and certainly not a musician to the same extent as Prince or Bowe at least they could do the whole thing.

Theres no way they were going in the top. I think they knew that from the start though. I'd like to go in it just to say id been up thet high in one. Not so sure I'd like to be working in one that was moving around though. Sliding the plates down never works. They just get in the way and hinder the bending of the cores.

Long time viewer here, love the vids so this absolutely isn’t a dig. Just wondering is it really worth all the hours driving, time away from home and sleeping in the van just to earn £500-700 a week sometimes. I know the jobs that pay well will push your average up quite a bit but you could earn 700 after tax on the books for a local sparky firm. Probably wouldn’t be glanding in massive cables often though which you enjoy. Just my thoughts
@jointechcabling9103
@jointechcabling9103 5 күн бұрын
I earned the 5-700 whilst in london because of the stoppages that happened. Fortunately, i earn a lot more than that. Even though i have to drive a lot with my job, i find it well worth it. I'll put it into context. I worked locally for a friend of mine last springtime. I was near Cambridge, so i travelled every day. I had to work fridays and the travel was 2.5 hours per day. I earned 1000 before tax. If you put that against travelling to Edinburgh. It takes 12 hours of travel, i come home on thursday night, and i earn more than 1000 quid before tax, so i think it's worth the difference. Also, im so used to it that i dont see it as a chore. I've been doing that kind of travel for 27 years. Plus, i think sleeping in the van is brilliant. it's like adult camping out🤣🤣🤣. It's a way of life that I've become accustomed to, and i really enjoy it. Thanks for watching the channel, bud. That makes me feel like im doing a good job of it.👍🏻
