ADT woes
To summarise (I'm not sure of the relevance of your mother in laws age) yes most likely it's her property but no accredited company would hand over the code. You have a throuple of options: Ask ADT to default the engineer code, you could try and coordinate this with a routine inspection visit foc, otherwise it should only cost a call out fee. Call and ask for the retention dept and negotiate your anual price. Engage another company to take over the system, just beware that the engineer codes can be locked on this system.

Young tradespeople need to take the risk of asbestos much more seriously
I think we're actually a couple of generations along now sadly Lol, I know I sound old but I also think some sort of national service would work wonders for the little loves you see waving machetes around or ransacking shops in daylight.

Exceptions to the rule as always, and yes, core subjects apart. I had a graduate who's degree was in automotive aerodynamics. He'd been privately educated (boarding school) all his life through the RAF and his level of basic English writing was shocking, he used to tell me to imagine what he'd be like had he not been in private education. Lovely guy but he's left us now after 3 years to work as a planner for an electric charge point company.

My school was rough as toast, we even made it into the local papers for it being shit and students smoking in class. Fantastic buildings, housed 1400 pupils and right in the middle of a large park but full of spastics. It was closed down and repurposed 2 years after I left. I'm sure a few ended up inside, one was a paedo but I didn't really stay in touch with more than 2-3 as I went to college instead of the dole or down t'pit.

I think it definitely used to be, but nowadays they are just businesses and the bar is pretty low, they do all sorts of meaningless courses (puppet design ffs) just to get the numbers (and cash) up. A massive percentage attend uni now compared to my era. As I say, when someone used to say they had a degree it was always kudos, now it's more 'meh'

I've no issue with students paying back for their uni education, a fair way imo rather than everyone else paying for it. As you say it's only paid back at a percentage over a certain amount of earnings (9% of outstanding debt when you hit 28k or thereabouts) I could count on one hand the people from my school who went onto uni but nowadays it's the norm so dilutes the talent pool imo. There's also the cost of accommodation and living if they don't qualify for a grant and for a couple of years we were paying over £1.2k pcm just for accommodation. As I say, I have no issues with those who benefit paying back providing those who can't afford it are subsidised to go in the first place. *eta, not talent pool, more the prestige of going.

Lol, only time I walked off a job was as a subby to modern alarms working in Mercado, a carpet warehouse place in Leeds. The fork drivers were absolute thundercunts flying around with a 3m single joust like thing, spoke to the manager about some demarcation and he refused saying we'd be fine. Just packed up and fucked off. As I'm sure we all did, I did some shady stupid things back in the day and even now I pass scb's I've installed that make me wince.
