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)

  • Recently I have described our school metalwork room to a few people, the mention of the blacksmiths forge, aluminium smelter, acid bath for cleaning the metal prior to enamelling, plus assorted machinery raises comments about health and safety which were never commented on at the time.


    It was a full educational experience, English, French, German, Russian and Latin and art were on offer with woodwork, metalwork, technical drawing for the lads, typing and domestic science for the girls, plus the usual maths, geography, biology, PE, and so on, as well as the less usual human biology, economics, and of course country dancing.

    Some of the first electric violins were knocked up in our schools technical block.
