Mr Electric

[Dazza1976]

Hi all,

I stumbled accross this clip while looking at some electrical bits on you tube :-
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txwvLMc7X54]YouTube - Mr Electric Domestic Electrician[/ame]

Lol, is it me or are the procedures they expect you to go through just a little bit over the top !!
I dont mean to offend anyone who has a Mr Electric franchise, but i personally would feel like a right prat going through that routine every time i went into a customers house !!

What do you lot think ?

Nice van no competent person scheme logo on it and when he put his pretty blue overshoes on he forgot to put his curlers in

He forgot his gloves when he was rolling the mat out!!!!!

 

[Mark_Burgess]

All that for a blown bulb

What you lack in technical ability you can make up with a first impression ( comment not universal to all franchise holders - just the one's I've come across )

I can imagine there are a lot of customers who love all the Mr Electric rigmarole like the Mr Electric greeting mat, ID card and tool mat - to someone who doesn't know any better a 'good electrician' (or technician) is one who wears a tie, drives a bright Sunburst yellow van and doesn't make a mess; other customers are more concerned about getting a good price for an aesthetically pleasing job done in accordance with the regs.

Mr Electric technicians probably have many happy customers who believe they are getting a professional, first class service, but the work is only as good as the person doing it, regardless of what's in his diagnostic bag.

Where's Durham when you need him LOL!

 

[AndrewMgan1976]

The diagnostic bag, clip it on and it finds faults for you...

No need for a spark, when you have this bag!

I love the bit when it says we will inform the customer of what has been done in non technical language, "madam the light is fixed!, it was buggered before i started" . They spend most of the time selling the customer stuff in the big book of optional extras and the work mat and sheets aren't even big enough. Love it

I had a pair of them overshoes in my smoke detector boxes today

I just gotta get me one of those yellow vans, never mind that it clashes with my own diagnostic bag though,
(the missus is always finding fault with me)

OMG.......I want a mat to roll out when I turn up on site.

 

[pennywise]

OMG.......I want a mat to roll out when I turn up on site.

I would want the customer rolling me one out, in red I think

 

[Des 56]

Does the carpet fly as well

If it does I will forget about the van

LOL, Me too Aico ones.
Reminds of the scene from Snatch, whre Jason Statham is stood in the field bargaining with the "do as you likeys" with carrier bags on their feet and Brad Pitt says " and a pear a dem shoos"

Are those shoes VDE ?

 

[Crosswire]

Mr Electric. Would you like fries with that?
