I've lost the job, Dodgy electrician gets it

[buzzlightyear]

Normally I would have gone sooner, but a new arrival in the family has made it quite difficult.

when a customer say can you do it in a couple of week ,my reply is ,yeah couple of weeks do you next year .

 

[Ib≤In≤Iz]

Yes he tried that one. I'm booked up until august anyway so not that desperate. I was more concerned with the dangerous work that had been carried out.

 

[buzzlightyear]

when a customer told me once that there is a patter of tiny feet in the house ,I through must be a kid ,looked down on the floor .f88king hell .a white rabbit .I looked at her a said that would look good in a pot .

[buzzlightyear]

cheaper gear .or trying to stick a f88king carrot in front of my nose .

It's funny you say that, he did the same. His brother or something has a property business and could get me work if the price is right bla bla bla. The amount of times I've heard that haha.

 

[buzzlightyear]

I could wright a book on some customers ,when they ring up ,you fitted a chandelier about 30 years ago ,could you do it for the same price .I forgot ,did you pay me with five magic beans .

 

[The Ghost]

It is astonishing what you can actually get away with! And even more astonishing what energy suppliers will fit a meter to! I could have saved my self so much trouble if only I could force myself to do that kind of work and walk away, heaven forbid!

 

[buzzlightyear]

looks like they have ,what's the betting a foreign worker .

 

[The Ghost]

Yeh it sure does look like they have and I am flabbergasted, I would have thought the customer would have looked and said "He should have gone to specsavers" or something. I am just mystified as to how you can do work like that and get paid!

 

[Cadgey123]

Looks safe to me... they have stuck a 230v sticker behind the broken Henley’s just in case though

Because most customers don't know what Good looks like.
He probably thinks that's a perfect job and compared to some it could be.

Have you got bad fingers Buzz?

 

[Wilko]

Yes Buzz, time to expand your vocabulary mate. We will still know what you mean

 

[dksanders]

Nobody's mentioned the two earth wires unconnected, they look as if they probably were once, are they not required now?

 

[Flanders]

And could not even get that right as it looks to me like a 3 phase supply

 

[delano]

I would like to but I think I have fallen out with the eastern europeans at the car wash by calling their electrician friend an incompetent idiot.

Oh yes I forgot to mention their electrician turned up 5 mins after I started criticizing his work.

Turned up where?

 

[telectrix]

maybe he misspelt turned and meant turnip.
