It's a funny old life.

Zoomup

A holiday chalet family asked the site manager why there was a red “FAIL, DO NOT USE” sticker on their bedroom infra red wall heater.

He said that the electrician had found a chalet fault whilst it was undergoing an inspection and test.

They said that they had not called upon an electrician. What was going on?

I had carried out the inspection and test after the manager had given me the chalet number and key for the chalet.

I had found that the wall heater was not earthed. 

I had also found that a ring final circuit had an end to end C.P.C. reading of 16 Ohms.

The site manager had given me the wrong chalet to test and the wrong key. He had mixed two up.

But if he hadn't  done that the faults would still be there unfound and unreported.

I come across much D.I.Y. dodgy work.

It's a funny old life innit?

    @Chris Pearson you are thinking like a millennial, the generation that thinks they can click on a website and have thinks delivered tomorrow and installed as well if required, the generation that has never had anyone say “No” to them, that’s so year before last you now have to plan and book ahead; and accept that people will say no to you.

    Yes, but they said yes and did no.

    Daughter expects same day or next day delivery and usually gets it. Perhaps that is because she writes stuff on the 'net.

    My point was about good service, but that's just the other side of the coin. I spared you the details, but one of my suppliers has lost a potential 6-figure contract through shockingly bad organisation. Good luck to them!
