And I thought i'd heard/seen it all!!!!!

[polo1]

My son, also a spark, was asked by one of the girls in the office to check her electric shower - had been working intermittently.

He turns up at the flat, checks the circuit breaker (all ok), checks the pull cord switch (again ok) and turns his attention to the shower unit itself.

He takes out the cover screws, starts to take the cover off, and.....:dead:

a bleedin' snake hisses and strikes out!!!!!!!!! He falls into the bath whilst trying to make a getaway. The couple don't have snakes as pets, and this one is bloomin angry. Cuting a londg story short, the SSPCA who came the following day advisd that it was corn snake, probably someones pet and it had some injury from bein in the shower. Apparantly, these things can live to 25 years and grow to between 3-5 ft long!

The photo is not that clear (did not like getting it's photo taken, but its the brown shape at the top of the shower. He will now forever be known as Hissin' Sid.

They don't know. It's probably somebodys pet. The property is a flat, so it might be one of the neighbours. But they had also just returned from holiday abroad, and were worried that they had brouht it home with them!

My guess is it belongs to one of the neighbours:freak:

Jesus!! Something else to worry about, I thought rats were the worst thing you could find!

 

[telectrix]

or is it the reincarnation of the plumber that electrocuted himself wiring the shower?

rats are worse than snakes. my mate's got a python 12ft. long and it's real friendly.

When it gives you a squeeze, it ain't being friendly Tel, it's sizing you up for lunch mate!

 

[telectrix]

LOL. only problem with the python is you've got to watch it when sitting down on the sofa. if you sit on him, he gets annoyed.

 

[Guest123]

My mates python lives in the back of his sofa, been there for years. Comes out now & again for a quick slither and a warm up and goes back.:freak:

 

[truckster]

Just a thought, the bint who owns the flat doesn't do a bit of exotic dancing on the side does she? Might be part of the act!
