The Orange Shed

[Pete999]

Not funny really but it made me smile all the same, I was at the OS this morning, just idling away 30 mins, as well as having a burger.
Thought I would mosey up the electrical isle for a laugh, there was a young couple in deep conversation withe resident expert, couldn't help but eavesdrop, apparently the couple had bought a new shower, and him being a bit of a handy man was going to fit it himself, won't go into details but expert man flogged the a 25 m coil of 2.5, a switched spur and a back box as well as a 30A junction box, well I thought I will wait till Mr expert left and, politely approached the couple to try and put them right, maybe get a shower job out of it, but no luck got told to eff orf, (they were rather posh) they will do what the expert said, and would I kindly mind my own so to speak.
Tried to speak to someone in charge but got no joy there either, shouldn't be allowed, hope matey finds it so difficult to do that he will call a sparky, was going to give my card but thought better of it

I don't know what it is but I kind of secretly enjoy going down the electrical isles in shops, loitering about, then I but in when people are looking at stuff. I have picked up a couple of jobs by doing that.

Lucky you, I never seem to have time to bu##er about like that.

Aint we the smart ar==e

Before anyone makes a comment, yes I have just partaken a rather pleasant bottle of full bodied red c/o M&S bought by Mrs Pete999

Never mind about this shower, are you not aware of the terrible danger you are putting yourself in with this irresponsible drinking? According to the latest figures, you should only drink 14 units a week, and a maximum of 3-4 a day.
What a load of........

I drunk it when I got home, you don't think I would drive after consuming a bottle of not so cheap vino do you?

You could try walking home using a zimmer frame after stalking people in the DIY store. Shout abuse at the traffic, whilst swigging your plunk. Someone will call the cops, and they'll give you a lift home. Saves on fuel, & lets you start your day early.

Anyways, back on topic. There's no helping some people, like this ex Italian POW; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOwven0Rt94

As a parting shot in the circumstances Pete I'd have told them to check the manufacturers instructions that are in the box with the shower, would have proved you right. :book:
