Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

Changed a mains powered smoke alarm today. Date 10th October 1963.

On a bit of research it was the first approved commercial hard wired smoke in the uk. I’ve kept it.

@Lucien Nunes will be after you! ?

First job this morning was to replace a double socket in a kitchen cupboard...

It is a spur they’ve been using for the washing machine and dishwasher.
I replaced it with a single and told them only use one at a time.

ps. The dishwasher was being used when I got there. The back of the socket was very deformed due to heat.

Lovely! Looks like it might have been the plug rather than the socket that took the worst of it - moulded plug? And looks like the left hand socket is pretty brown too.

Today I am released from quarantine, so it's time to stock up the fridge and wine rack. After that I'll probably have a lie-down to recover from the excitement...

Not sure if I'm looking forward to today or not. We were told around a month ago that our section of the company was being sold off. We were told about 2 weeks ago who was buying us. We have a 'teams' meeting today with the new owners. We transfer over on Jan 1st and have been told everything will remain the same including pay, van's, length of service etc. Let's see what the new owners have to say ?

Good luck.

Looks like a reasonably quiet day today. Do an online site induction, get 2 tyres put on the car as the wife is complaining then a little drive from south Wales to near Edinburgh ready for tomorrow's job.
BTW, the online meeting with our new owners on Monday didn't seem too bad. I'm not sure if we are supposed to announce who the new owners are but it looks like we'll have the 'Freedom' to carry on as we are for a while.

I've never known a woman take any interest/notice of tyres! Pass on my admiration. Actually, it might come across as being a bit sexist that?

 

[Moley]

Both my wife and daughter check their tyres. It's about the only thing they do check though. Warning lights can come up on the dash and get ignored.

Nice little road-trip there! South Wales to Edinburgh, some beautiful scenery...
On-line Memorial Service with some friends just before 11am, then some minor tool-shopping and after that a good brisk walk round the local reservoirs.
My daughter checks tyres regularly, but her dashboard looks like a christmas tree!

 

[littlespark]

We don’t want your welsh virus anywhere near Edinburgh! Get back to the valleys!

I’m joking @Moley .... I’m going on a little road trip myself. Kids have a couple days off school, so I’m downing tools, and heading up to Aviemore til Sunday.

 

[Moley]

Don't worry, I won't be at Edinburgh. I'm at Dunbar so you should be safe ?
