Another bit of fun, it can be anecdotal or make up

YKYASW; You take off your trousers at night and instead of a tills worth of loose change falling out, you have a wholesalers worth of rawl plugs, fuses, screws and that bit of fluff you can't figure out where the hell it came from.....

Next!

When the first thing you do on holiday is look for the CU and any other substandard electrical work to give oneself that warm glow of national supeiority.

You have 100s of random screwdrivers, in all the garish hues of the rainbow, from sets that are all missing a 4mm flat.

Or is this just me?

 

[GBDamo]

Somewhere in your house you have a light fitting connected using a klik plug and rose.

 

[pirate]

When you can't resist buying 4mm flat and pozi 2 in bulk, and end up with all the other sizes too?

 

[GBDamo]

Let's be honest....

When your household electrics are a half finished, semi compliant mixture of brands and finishes that one day you'll "finish"

When you sit in a hospital waiting room, looking round at all the surface mount electrics picking fault with the way it has been done or wondering what that odd shaped box thing is with all the conduits going in to it.

Your customers get neat and tidy wiring, even when it’s hidden inside a consumer unit.

Your wife/husband is always moaning about the huge mess of wiring around the back of the telly.

Conversation goes something like, i’m Sure that’s not safe, all those wires etc. Do we really need all of them?
Reply is something along the lines of, of course it’s safe, who is the qualified electrician??
