    People keep mistaking me with an Electrician?

    Some people are unbelievable

    Had a call from a couple tonight saying they were concerned with the electrical work in their 6 bedroom home which had been retried around 6 months ago.

Behind our stable another couple do the same, both dogs yap continuously for about 30 minutes. The owners never try to stop them...

    Some people just don't appreciate the lengths you go to

    Anyone else been in this situation, if so how did you handle it? Get called out to someone who has a living room light that isn't working. Turn up on time, put boot covers on, dust sheet down, I'm polite, the light fitting is class 1 (and also faulty) getting power to it but not working. The...
