Back in the mid Seventies, I was offered a post to get a site out of the Mire, I had been in a Safe Maintenance job, but being recently Wed and an addition to my family on the way, the extra cash was an incentive (bad move as it turned out).
The bloke in charge of the electrics on site wasn't to pleased with my appointment, so relations were strained to say the least. I had occasion to ask him to take on the installation of the Night Storage 2nd fix and was surprised when I went to check on rogress only to find Matey had connected these 3Kw heaters with 0.75 flex, on questioning him, his reply was "well it's earthed isn't it? and he was paid as a JIB Approved Electrician, I fired him and got the biggest rollicking from the contracts manager, didn't last long, got my old job back sometimes money isn't the B all and end All of things.

[ElectriciansForums.net] Best rollocking you have ever had!!
 
I was helping my Boss get his new Volvo back to Moscow from Helsinki, right hand drive car, in a country that has left hand drive motors, if you can call a Lada a motor.
Anyway remember mid 1980s height of the cold war, anyone that wasn't a party member is a Spy, about half way home Felix the fuzz pulls my Boss over comes to the passengers side, yanks me out, frog marches me to the Cop shop at the side of the road apparently I was speeding, and after numerous attempts at explaining that I wasn't the driver my boss was and he had Dip immunity I didn't, Got a rollicking from the Head Honcho Cop and told to be careful and watch my speed, it was called buggeration by the locals just to miff you off, scary or what?
