I remember doing an EICR for an old lady who was selling her house. She asked if I'd like a cup of tea, so I said yes please and went to work. The tea was taking a while but eventually she shouts upstairs that it's ready, so I go down and she has set the table, made sandwiches, put out cakes and biscuits and a large pot of tea!

You missed the bit about the sexy negligee, stocking suspenders and heels, as well as the Rohypnol in the tea..........

I don't like using customers' toilets if I can help it, instead using toilets in community centres, stopping off at home or using supermarket toilets.

Saying that though on Friday I stopped by Asda for a comfort break, went in the cubicle and thought it smelled of farts. A quick look around and some mature adult had smeared faecal matter on the flush button. The lady on the customer service desk said it had been happening a lot recently.

I like the ones that also do really good home baking.

Not linked to sparky work but in my former life I used to get involved on occasions with artist management. I once had a meeting with Sylvia Anderson, co-creator of the Thunderbirds stable, at her house. Well..... Lady Penelope was a puppet caricature of her, and she was the voice for her too........ being served tea and cucumber sandwiches by Lady Penelope was a rather surreal moment!! Lovely lady though, she sadly passed away a couple of years ago.

In a former life I sold houses as part of my job...visiting ladies in their homes while hubby was at work?
Not the worst job in the world!

An estate agent and a Pirate, you'll be telling us next that you where a lawyer or a defrocked priest.......

If I walk in the house and it's dive I won't accept the offer of cuppa. The worst is when you are not even offered one though.

That scenario tends to result in a bigger invoice Lee, tenner minimum.

It used to be like that this side of the Tyne too. Hospitality is still good , but mainly died with the mining community.

Generally all the old dears in my patch are lovely to work for, always plenty of tea on the go and they try to feed you cakes and biscuits.

Its a sly cunning plan to soften you up, its part of the Help The Age'd advice strategy "how to soften workers up for a discount" do they show you photos of their divorced daughters with the promise of something "speshal" on offer?

If the house is dirty I too refuse the offer.
Always careful of biscuits though especially if the customer is elderly.
When i was an apprentice I watched my mate eat a handful of biscuits invested with weevils, greedy bloke eat about 5 I couldn't tell him as the old girl was chatting to him.
I found it funny, but it put me off.

 

[telectrix]

what's wrong with weevils. crunchy, a bit like overcooked bacon.
