Things an Electrician would never say

[grimysparks80]

Do these snickers make my bum look big?

 

[Ryan_Moore]

Customer: Would you like a cup of tea and a pointless chat about my house?
Spark: No thanks love I must crack on

 

[baldelectrician]

Customer: I've seen you somewhere before?
Me: Yep, I was on Rogue Traders

Gets a hearty laugh, or a nervous laugh- depending on how well they know of you

 

[telectrix]

of course i' ll do you a periodic for £50, sir. just keep an eye on my van. i've left the engine running.

 

[Ryan_Moore]

Spark: So you want this metal fence connected with the mains in the street, seems reasonable to me, should keep the cats out
Customer: It is not things getting IN I am trying to stop....

Hi guys,
How about:
'Great idea to use laminate flooring al over the house, it makes my job so much easier'
'Of course I have a spare wylex 2.7amp fuse / breaker in the van'
'Dont worry the smell of burning stops when the cables have bedded in'
'You don't need a certficate if the job is done after 6pm'
'Re wires normally take me and Mick a day, for a four bed detached house without using any trunking'
'I have got my own tools, its a pity I used to be a road sweeper'
'B&Q? Yep their little leaflets taught me every thing I need to know about electricds and brain surgery'
Best wishes

Petroleum jelly or no petroleum jelly, I will get this draw-wire round these twenty 90* bends between two draw-in points! :tounge_smile:

Hi guys,

How about:

'It was as if it was only yesterday that I remeber my first day in college - yep it was yesterday and this is my first real job. Could you give me a hand with these books as I might need a bit of reading first'

'I don't think it is that serious, I have heard worse screams when people turn the lights on and bigger bangs for that matter'

'Don't worry I am fully insured and my insurance agent helps me fill in the forms, at least he did the last three houses'

'Sub contracting is quite normal Madam, now what was it you wanted: plumber, taxidermist, painter, scientist, lay preacher, ghost hunter or electrican?'

'Yes I do my own accounts. All I want you to remember is that cash is best and for technical / safety reasons I dont do cheques'

'I know you think it is a bit pricey to change a light bulb in your living room, but it is all this health and safety. It is the cost of the hard hat, high vis vest, googles, ear defenders, flame proofgloves, lanyard and scaffolding; not to mention the paperwork'

Best wishes
