Okay, here is a quick Friday quiz based on something I discovered last night...
Q: How much (in €) do the British Bases pay for a Cypriot electrician to PAT Test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_appliance_testing) each electrical appliance across their four sites here...?
Answers in the comments - no prizes just for fun shocks (see what I did there?)...

It can't be that much surely ?? scared2:
When the bozos come and do it in our place it looks ever such a complicated procedure. Pick up device / appliance....check plug....switch on ....switch off...put sticker on it rubschin:

Yarp, I think the most skilled part is writing the sticker out... ::)
How much do you reckon...? Popcorn:
-
€10 euro per item ????

At least €50
Electrickery is a license to print money.
I have heard for PAT testing, that an organisation with a few hundred appliances find it cheaper to get one of their staff trained and buy the testing box, rather than get a man in.

Not quite that much Mr. Darwin Sir... ;)
But you are quite correct, a PAT Tester is ~£300 and the training isn't much more than knowing which way up to stick the label once you have written the date on it... ::)

€100 an item?

No... Less than wot Mr. Darwin Sir said but more than Miss D said... ::)

So about £25 then in real money eeek:
prolly comes under some subsection of our foreign aid budget. A sneaky way to put money into Cyprus so they can afford all those fixes they're doing for subsidence . . . .
. . . . . redface:
Contracts like that are really easy to set up with the MoD.

It is worserer than that, they are obliged to use Cypriots for much of the 'non-essential' work (i.e. not arming aircraft but maintenance, etc.) on the bases... Paying through the nose for stuff seems to be a way of preventing 'Brits out!' protests outside the gates every day... ::)
