Sky Hooks etc...

Tom


I think you will find the sky hooks are on the shelf just above the skirting ladder and to the right of the tins of painters colic.


In a former life we had a delightful admin assistant in our office, with the name of Tracy, who would search around and order up parts and equipment for us. At that time we had not grasped firmly the thorny branch of political correctness. She would often be asked to order up all the usual daft things that apprentices were asked to find. One of the tasks for my merry men was to maintain all the commercial catering equipment in the large 24 hour kitchen a lot of which was gas appliances plus other gas consuming plant. A lot of controls on the gas had tapered plug cocks to control the gas. These cocks would go sticky and leak from time to time. To rectify this the cocks were taken apart and cleaned out and re-greased with a special grease for use on gas. Tracy flatly refused to order up a couple of tins of "cock grease" when asked to do so. She was even more red faced when shown the empty tin and asked why she would not order some more. Tracy left some time after to work for the Abbey National Building Society.
