Does this make me a proper window cleaner now? Lol

[Dave B]

I help out with my kids at Scouts, so I have to be CRB checked (or DBS as it's becoming known).So, when I took the van in for signwriting I had it added.

Instils a bit more confidence with the customers I think

Can't remember the title but my dad was in scouting most of his life

He worked up to gsl and then district roles

Very rewarding for some people

I actually took a few of them canoeing when i was an instructor and that was fun and went with them to derby so i could go off caveing and climbing while they were doing their stuff

Yeah I'm up at hall later to as a parent helper and enjoy it, but to become leader it takes up so much time, but happy to help out at all the activities.

Keeps em off the Xbox!

Like the idea for getting rid of the doll Dodgers and kiddy fiddlers, but I won't be the first person for a bit of scrapping on the permanent record :rofl:

[Chris33]

@johnny bravo he'd likely cry 'freedom' and rip it up in front of the local council office ..but then he'd maybe get a police record and not get another cool badge. Hmm

Lucky man, I ended up paying a lot in fines and having a 3 month tagging order. Or restriction of liberty order as they called it.

My mother is Island Commissioner for the Scouts, runs the whole setup in Jersey.

I was booted for scrapping at 15. Hated the Scouts, would rather be fishing. :hey:

So what's the punishment if you get caught without licence

There's a few still working without licenses round here, but they're getting less and less as the council are cracking down on them. I grudge the money for the license but it is a good thing I suppose.

So just another thing to earn revenue from people trying to run a business then? Terrible.

I think its perfectly reasonable to have the profession monitored to a degree - they do authenticate that you have insurance and perform a CRB check (or whatever it's called now) and some councils review your safety procedures.

That's all good and weeds out the beer runs that give us a bad name.

However it seems ridiculous that every council has their own version. Do taxi drivers have to pay each council/borough they drive through??

I think there should be a standard charge for each council - say £50 annually and an admin fee of £25 for each additional area.

 

[Chris33]

Yes I agree. There is massive cost difference per region in Scotland too. This doesn't have anything to do with more financial gain by working in set regions either. Some regions that are overall economically poorer have more expensive licences for example..sometimes a local approach just leads to councils milking it
