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?

    Some continuing bad service today and some good.

    A renowned car restoration business cannot start my car. Right, it started when I left home. It started again when I moved it from one end of their car park to the other. Presumably it started when they moved it into their storage area, but apparently when they moved it into the workshop, they had to push it. About 4 strong men would have been required! Workshop manager was not in today and the flibberty gibbet hadn't a clue. Apparently, nobody has a clue because none of the mechanics answered my request to call back.

    By contrast, I needed a short length of 1 sqmm 5-core flex today. Circa £1 per metre at Rexel, or £15 for a 5 metre length from Screwfix! Problem was that the supplied length was 0.75 sqmm. So I gave them a call and back I went. By all accounts the drum has been mis-labelled. I had barely left my car when the storeman handed me the correct cable.

    So, their mistake, but put right straightaway. That's how business should be done. ?
