A day in the life of a Homeserve electrician......

[conny]

He covers an area from Preston to South Manchester.
Don't see the problem.
If he can change a bulb in Preston at 11.20 he can easily make it to S. Manchester to change a melted plug within !/2 an hour. Its only about 45 miles away!
God you fellas must be slow, how do you make any money?

 

[sparkwright]

what's he got, a van load of assorted consumer units? wonder what actually caused the overheating.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Probably the heat from his Kevlar underpants after travelling faster than a speeding bullet through the air...

Call 7, no power in garage.

Check light bulbs?

He's got no power

Check sockets?

He's got no power

Check switches?

Look, he's got no power, OK!

It's an outbuilding and the underground cable has been broken?

Why didn't the customer say that in the first place?

Oh yeah, now you mention it, I was diggin' in the garden when there was this almighty flash and crackle, would that have something to do with it?

Every call seems to have something loose. Hope he has a porta loo in van! We I did come across one of these guys with an insurance job. Giving him his due he did check the ELI after replacing the lamp but he never left us with his results.
May be it was all for show as I gave him a stack of E&T so maybe he thought I would check up on him.
Well I didn't.

By his hair style he is getting on a bit.

Lampholders were referred to as light bulb sockets proberly back in the day

How can he have promised to repair the garage sub-main cable?

Under EXCLUSIONS, it states "Wiring outside the property......"

I've emailed Homeserve Sales thanking them for the warning about their corner-cutting low standards.

I love it. I really do.

Ditto, I did similar

His diary says "I", "I ", "I" not "We", "We", "we"!

I wonder if he notified the CU change?
