Pet hates whats yours

Something for the weekend, boys back to school next week.


one of my PH is seeing flat TE hanging out on outside walls ready to recieve new wall lights

normally left far to long and with no protection from the weather thought that the cable should be round to match the gland and be suitable for the temp range but old habits die hard:32:

get of your chest lets know yours.....

When you want to park, you slow down, indicate left, pull in parallel to the car just after the space, put your reversing lights on, and the idiot behind you pulls right up behind you.

How about using downlights with the hr and click flow connectors fitted. I switched to these a while back and it saves so much time!

The horrendously rude customers that can't be bothered to get off their backsides and make a quick phone call to say "Thank you for your time but we've chosen someone else".

And even worse that those, are the ones that keep stringing you along knowing full well that either they're never going to use you or they've even already chosen someone else!!!!!
