Guilty as charged! 
We all are I'm sure.

Outrageous accusation. When we do our weekly shop we pass a housing estate where I fitted some car park bollards, in the winter I often take a detour there to see if they are still upright and working.
Never really done domestic work, but hospitals, bridges, schools, prisons. power stations, oil refineries…..
My daughter has an excellent memory for detail, and she'll head me off at the pass when driving around....
If I mention one job, she'll take over the commentary for me!
I know Dad, that's the house that had no earth. That's the one where you hit a water pipe.
That's the one with the old deaf lady whose cat you accidentally buried under the floorboard and had to go back to find it.

I remember when I worked at Heathrow Terminal 5… we were on the baggage handling system… and when it actually opened the system went down, and a load of bags got stuck…..
That’ll be my spanner in the works, then.

OP
Nothing worse than saying what you did somewhere, then finding out it's been closed for years!
I did the electrical design and controls for the major update at the BICC Helsby site (loads of large inverters for pump control on the process cooling systems - took ages to design due to difficulties ensuring it wouldn't interfere with the electron beaming system). Happily boring my husband with all the details as we passed on the M56, indicating we could see the factory over the railway from the motorway....
Completely gone!!
It had closed down in the early 2000's just Tesco there in its place!!

Burnt down?
It’s a bit different for me because whilst yes I can point to houses and estates that I built years ago or the odd place here and there that I’ve done a call out to, the vast majority of my work basically ends up on social media as posts of shows and events, here today and gone tomorrow!
This was me at work last night…

First couple of guitar notes had me thinking you'd powered up Lenny Kravitz and we were about to get the epic solo from 'believe'.
2 seconds later my bubble was burst
