Don’t blame the cats mate, they’re only trying to get the rodents that chew the cables. I hear that the NICEIC together with City and Guilds are teaming up with RSPCA and for £500 you can get your cat Part P registered .

If its not animal's its normally kids
try and lock you kids under the stairs and till im finished.
I remember a few years back up a ladder putting in cables. I shouts to the appreantice stop shaking the FEN ladder , its not me he shouts .
looking down ,what the F theirs a kid up the ladder has well .
i shouted at the parents get this F monkey down or the full ceiling will
come down has well .
Kids who would have them .
So they say never work with kids and annimals.

My pet hate as a customer is the trades person who's a miserable sod that always tuts, moans and complains a lot, have we ever met Buzz?

Well you see @buzzlightyear you have to do a site RAMS and erect barriers to protect the customer. Mind you I have put notices like DANGER OF DEATH DO NOT ENTER in red hanging about face level and a proper barrier then they just move the barrier and walk in it just beggars belief

Pet hate .
Waisted journey due to other trades not turning up or arriving to do a quote and the customer has popped out despite me ringing 10 minutes earlier to say I am on my way. That was yesterday.

Na , it was a realistic interpretation of the scene in the "customers eyes".

When the plasterer has filled all your backboxes and not even left the cables sticking out
