Confessions of an Electrician...

Lisa Miles

So while we’ve not been able to log into the community (you can do so now if you didn’t already know) I’ve been keeping myself out of mischief Blush by going through some of the discussion topics on the old Wiring Regs forum and came across this one: Walking off site where some of you were sharing stories about your experiences with client's pets while on the job. 


So I thought it would be a bit of fun to ask you to share some of your funny/bizarre or just weird stories (keeping it relatively clean and protecting the privacy of others please!) from any jobs you’ve been on or done.


… And I’ll send some swag to the author of the story that gets voted the ‘Most helpful/liked’ from the community so don't forget to hit that 'Good Answer' link on any that make you chuckle! (Log in required)

  • I have just had a trip down memory lane to 1974.


    One of the must have bits of new technology in 1974 was a Polaroid instant camera, I bought one for my parents for Christmas, which I then borrowed.


    A few weeks ago I bought a new sat nav and received a free Instax instant camera as a promotional offer, so on the way home tonight I stopped and bought a pack of films.


    So I have just loaded a film into a camera for the first time in probably twenty something years and then watched a instant photo develop for the first time in over thirty five years.


    The Polaroid cameras opened up all sorts of possibilities back in the 70’s as for the majority of people it was the first time they could take pictures without having to take them to the chemists shop to be developed and printed, we built an extension on a house and when we had to knock through from the old to the new we went up into the bedroom of the house to clear the room, when we moved the wardrobe a bundle of Polaroid pictures fell off the top of it, which we carefully replaced when the wardrobe had been moved to another room.   When the lady of the house brought us a cup of tea I must admit we viewed her in a completely different light!
