Of course <INSERT BUILDERS NAME> you can move the telephone points. Run the cable adjacent to some mains and pull as hard as possible so I have to cut a metre of sheath off to find some copper - after all I will have to verify it is now totally useless. And yes, I will help you take off the plasterboard.
 
No, Mr Health & Safety Officer, he didn’t accidentally fall off the scaffolding. There was a bit of confusion and the female apprentice misunderstood when he said "---- us off". ;):D
 
Now look here big chief, if you're going to make every job a matter of life or death, you're going to have a lot of problems on your hands. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot.
 
of course you can have the main bonding cables in red to match the skirting board i'm going to clip to.
 
Ahhhooww....I always suspected the shin bone was a device for finding furniture in the dark. That boy has the body by Fisher & brains by Mattel. I'm going to give him "wanna see some neat electrical Jedi tricks?" when I get my hands on him. I have seen the future, and he's never going to make it to Episode 7.
 
Yes it does need wires as well

for builders
The time taken to pay is exactly the same time it takes me to type your certificate

Don't worry about these silly regs- your builder must be right - my mistake

i don't need into your fuse box thingy- i can turn the whole street off remotely by text to Scottish Power

That's not your daughers knickers in my apprentices tool box- theyre his, he's a cross dresser

I saw your wife- have 25% off with my sympathy

I need to check things before we start work- is your kettle working?

Youre telling lies the knickers behind the washing machine are yours- there are the same as the ones in your bedroom drawer
 
No madam, I wasn't using any of your personal fitness devices. I get enough exercise just pushing my luck!
 
No madam, my idea of cleaning up after the job is to sweep the room with a glance.
 
Yes madam, I am a representative of the company but my duties are largely ceremonial.
 
I love paying tax so much, the sight of my part P registration form gives me an erection.
 
Oh look, this is the first time we have seen but not heard the safety manager, it’s a shame we have to wake him. :D
 
Manager: You are going to this job today.

Electrician: Oh thats going to be a problem, youll have to call another electrician.

No Mr traffic warden, I've nothing against disabled people, I've even got one of their stickers on my car.
 
There is no point arguing with me about the bill Sir. It's like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it. So just cough up!
 
No Sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we’re allowed to condemn as many installations as we like.
 
Warning!.......You want a warning?.......Ok, I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another shock.
 
So you want me to replace the fuse wire and reconnect that 4mm cable that has exploded in your consumer unit because the last electrician has changed your shower to a more powerful 9.5kw....

Yeah no problem! Just got to get my cowboy hat.......

Lovin' it.....lol. Don't forget them spurs.:D
 
You know, the red wire don’t come any redder than the one you just cut through.
 
If you put your fingers on those MCCB terminals, you’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document.
 
Relax, this is for your protection and I know the tiewraps are tight but they’re new, they’ll stretch after you wear them a while.
 
No madam, electricians don't need qualifications. All we need is trust and a little bit of pixie dust!
 
At a job interview - "I'm so well qualified that if I don't get this job, it would prove that the company's management was incompetent."
 
Professional? Of course sir!!! But before you start telling me what work you need done, let me get my smoke packet out. I need something to write on.
 
I heard the difference between a capacitor and a resistor was in the taste. Is this true young apprentice? ;)
 
Sorry if I do offend , moderators but we do occasionally use this one but only with our longest standing clients that are friends as well !

" We are a clear and transparent company , as in our name - DP Electrical Ltd . DP stands for Deep Penetration, because when you've had us you know you've been shafted!
 
Good thing you weren’t here 20 minutes ago Sir. Boy, you really would have been pi55ed. Is it alright we used a couple of your ------’s? We’ll pay you back!
