Tractorman810 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 had news today that one of our cabling team in london was stabbed yesterday ,by some nut accusing the guys of being spreaders of death, by working and spreading covid, and also putting the new 5g stuff in, which causes the covid issue? theres some real nut cases out there ,turns out today one of our guys was given a load of abuse in torquay for much the same things. by a guy in a wheel chair after 5 mins he tried to get away which caused him to try and follow him, so he decided to cross the road and walk faster, this lead to the guy getting out of his wheel chair and actually chasing him.luckily a resident had been watching and called the police who arrived within 5 mins and found him outside the lorry still at it, cctv has been secured and hes being prosecuted apparently . as i said to the guy, you have some serious skills,you rod through blockages others cant do,you go through silt and crud that others cant, now you can add the power of god to your skill set and cure disabilities ,which made him laugh, some seriously sick people out there . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 it is, but when you get approached else where now it puts you on edge, all our guy was doing was putting in a new fibre cable for fttp,or fibre to the premise, but , the guy just got more wound up and aggressive. its amazing how people believe what appears on facebook ,a quick search found a group for torquay, listing where we are working , and urging people to complain and block it make life difficult for it to get done , and its not even related to 5g , we have had 3 mobile masts torched in the last week as well, one which cut the airwaves system, which is what the emergency services use, they have even started harassing the power guys doing lamp posts and light renewals, claiming they are spy system's and 5g mast.

robbo Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I can't believe the stupidity of people who have got this idea into their heads that somehow 5G and Covid 19 are connected. It needs to be pointed out to them that some countries that do not have 5G are Covid 19 hotspots such as Iran. The same people also seem to believe that the Royal family are lizards and that aircraft are spreading mind control drugs, flat earthers the lot of them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 its put a lot of guys on edge thats for sure, theres talk of pulling them out of torquay until the police can do something about them as well, but its all over the uk now , and some really do believe it all .

justy 46 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 People are linking Covid 19 and Huawei and together ...China basicly. Huawei are providing the 5G network fibre cable and what ever else. But how can a human transmitted virus have anything to do with 5G..?? it's all bizarre. only a fool would think they are connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The "security scandals" are down to US companies whose technology can't compete with Huawei, so they are up to mischief trying to persuade other customers that Huawei are up to no good so they can win the sales.

bluegreen Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Well I do understand peoples mistrust of China and Huawei, but accept theres no proven link between the company and the virus. China has clearly lied repeatedly about their virus data but then again that's communism for you. Quite simply you do not lockdown 760 million people for only 3000+ deaths!! Clearly the total is multiples higher than that. Ive been told by a good trusted source that its probably around 1 million deaths which sounds like a lot, but, even that is only 0.13% which basically means that 99.9% of the 760 million quarantined didn't die. When you look at UK mortality rates by comparison, Chinas 1 mill deaths is quite believable. The trouble with 5G is the close proximity of all its base stations, they are much closer together than 4G for example and its that density that has alarmed some folks. Ive heard some people describing the finished 5G network as a potential giant microwave oven, but whether that is ridiculous scaremongering or not we will only find out after the system is fully up and running 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 they are close because they use the higher end wavebands left free from the shift of fm radio stations onto digital, they don't travel as far as the 4 g as they are not a high frequency ,so you could argue we have all been driving round in microwaves anyway ,if you listen to a radio , thats how stupid people are ,did they all complain that car radios gave them head aches and bought on some pandemic ?? dont recall it .either way it doesn't give people the right to abuse or even worse attack , guys going about their job, or put peoples lives at risk by burning masts down . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Car dealers!! Thought that is was time to change the car as I have had the same one for 6 years. I looked around online and saw a car that I quite liked and so I put the details of my car into their site for a part exchange value. Now I know that these valuations are always more than they think your car is worth just to get you to go in. However, when I got there I was asked to confirm that it had a full service history so I got out the service book. This is when the irritation started. I had declared a full service history but, when they looked at the book there was no service dated 2016. There were 2 services showing in 2015, one in February and another at the end of October. (Had it done just prior to driving to Zwolle) Now, at the end of 2015 my job changed and I no longer needed to use this car for work so the mileage that I was doing dropped from 25000 per year to less than 8000 so, during 2016 the car did very few miles, less than 8000 and the service intervals are given as being every 12,500 miles in the book. However, it was due to have an MOT in January 2017 and so I had it serviced on 6th January 2017 at the same time as the MOT and I have kept this up ever since, MOT and service every January whether it was up to the mileage or not. Now, according to the sales person, this did not class as being a full service history as there was no stamp dated 2016 and he slashed the part exchange price that they were offering. THAT was my cue to walk out of the door as there was no way that he would compromise, that was the offer and it was the best that they could do...................bye! I then went to another dealer and found a better car, for the same initial price and they also offered me a lot more for my old car, deal done! I now have a new car on my drive and, for those that know me, yes, it is another silver Mondeo, the fourth one that I have had since 1999. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 silver mondo eh, the newer shape i am asuming . i have the opposite effect on a car dealer ,i scare them, i took just shy of £10000 of her new car last september, by prepping and being firm and ready to walk. playing one against the other. may do the same again given how desperate they all are for trade and swap mine . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 DA17ON Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I worked in motor trade for 5 years not as a sales person but the valeting department the thing is you have to stand your ground and be prepared to walk away you will always find the same deal if not better.

I agree! Had one joker have maximum bid on 3 items, total of 87 quid, then read the feedback and see a few "positive negatives" saying they were non payers. There are positive feedbacks too but I dont suppose they will pay up. They will be going on the block list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
