Things an Electrician would never say

[wildgoose]

It's normal for the sockets and light switches to be completley overplastered. There are really easy to locate and dig out!!!

Electricians are really easy to get along with once people learn to worship us. :17:

 

[Kiers1970]

you've had a price of £500, yet the materials are £300, and labour costs to me are £450? 'course I can match that price.

 

[SPARTYKUS]

I'll do that for free

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Yes sellotape will do just as good a job.

Kamikaze,
Love the new signature.

Connector blocks are too expensive, its cheaper just to twist the wires together. As for insulation tape, why should i buy those silly little rolls when I can get a big roll of Scellotape for much less money that does the job just as well.


This must have been quoted buy the cowboy who's installation I had to rip out and start again last year. (NO JOKE IT'S TRUE)

'We don't have the fuse for that underfloor heating system.. Better go look for one'
'No. Stupid. I'll just strip back some of this flex and use a strand of that'

Another, sadly, true story.

If you are grouchy, irritable, or just plain mean, there will be a £20 charge for putting up with you.

Hi guys,

How about:

To customer: 'Yes I always work cheaper on a Sunday and especially on a call out. So your problem was a total black out...., my best advice on this one would be to pay your electricity bill and read your mail. Now thats £70 call out, £30 for the technical diagnosis and £25 for not telling anyone....'

Best wishes

Rex

My head says; "I should go and do some electrical work." but my heart says; "Stay on the internet, drink beer and type rubbish." :biggrin:

oh your husband tested it himself and it's not live ? ok , saves me a job .

 

[timo1]

No cash thanks a cheque is the way I prefer to be paid.

 

[Kiers1970]

don't worry about those 3 extra days I've spent here doing all the extra's, never mind the materials either, all part of the service.

ACTUAL CONVERSATION



****Monday morning telephone call with potential client****

Of course the guy that quoted you half my price is a better option. The fact that I planned and costed to do the work in normal hours and he plans to do it over the weekend for half my price means he fully intends not to cut any corners and do the job properly.

****Following Weeks telephone call with potential client****

Yes that price is still the same for that installation work. But because I'm goiong to have to rip out all the other guys stuff, there will be an additional charge.

 

[Wiredspark]

back off a55hole and don't let this install turn into a murder.
