just had a call from my boss, he told me that he had just been called out to one of the propertys as the the electric went out in a room, they have their own mains with a 30amp fuse for the sockets and a 5amp fuse for the lights, they work of a pound slot meter

 

anyway, when he got there he was told that the tennant had got the electric back on and the problem was solved, my boss decided to look anyway, first he checked the 30amp fuse, it was wrapped i fookin tin foil, they had repaired a catridge fuse by wrapping the fooker in tinfoil

 

he then (once he removed the tinfoil) looked for the fault, they had two double socket adapters in a double socket with triple extensions running off the adaptors running all kinds of appliances

 

how fookin stoopid can someone be, fookin tinfoil round the fuse, we dont use trips as they just jam them in or tape them up, but fookin tinfoil, its new to me

 

thought i had seen it all, they never seace to amaze me :confused:

Nice fire in the makeing there :nono:

yup, thats what i said, looks like another eviction to me, aint having morons fook about with electric like that

What would of happened if the was a fire and a death??? as i doubt the tin foil would stand that sort of heat :shock:

Classic..

 

I'll BRB - just going to replace that pesky 100A fuse with a big bolt...

it would happen in one of the properties lol

A labourer where I used to work put a 3/8 stud in a plug when the power wash kept poping the fuse.......he used to be a fireman ffs and retired after an accident....scarey. I blew my top when I found that as it was used for long periods of the day.

Leave em to it, hopefully it'll catch fire and eliminate them, cleansing the gene pool of some stupidity.

 

Part of the problem these days is not only the fittest survive, we'll be a planet of mongoloids in a few generations lol.

How much does a new plug and a fooking fuse cost!!!????

Stupid dumb pikey coonts

they are at it again, this is a plug and socket i removed from the comunal kitchen, they had wired a plug and done it wrong, it was attached to a tumble dryer, the when the fuse kept blowing they wrapped them up in wire and tin foil then left the dryer running, luckily we have a decent tennant in the property who smelt burning and quickly flicked the mains off and put the fire out with the extinguisher

 

it had set a plastic tupperware jug alight aswell

 

morons

 

when i was young and foolish i used polo wrapping to do a fuse on me motorbike!!!! it went up in flames!!!:o

 

dan.:)

There are some really, really thick people out there!

I've seen 4" nails cut off and used as fuses also on some of our sires when the big 110v transformers come back they usually have a few extension leads that have been glued in to stop other workers unplugging them to use their own kit.
