    How tolerant of customers are you?

    I'll be the first to admit that I don't have much enthusiasm for doing this job anymore, its only the relatively easy money that keeps me going but why on earth do customers think the world revolves around them. Just in the last week I turned up to do some lights in a bathroom for a small...

    Carrying out an EICR. Turned all lights on and went to the DB to isolate before checking R2 using R1+R2, linked at the DB and testing at all pionts. First point; 200+MOhms, second; the same. Randomly test another five points, all +200MOhms. Marked down the fault, no CPC continuity on lighting...

    Why do some customers stand 6" behind you?

    Anyone else get this? Just changed a bathroom light and the customer spent the whole time virtually stood on the bottom rung of the step ladder staring at what I was doing. Not conducive to a good morning's work!

    Pet Hates ( Excluding Customers)

    as title. let's have some of you pet hates with the trade. I'll start off with a couple: 1. Captive screws that fall out and get lost when nothing in your parts stock will do. 2. terminal screws that you can't see the head and need to tighten by feel ( many ceiling roses are this).
