Polish electrician

[Dog]

Took this the other day of a Polish electrician who didn't have a ladder, but within 5 minutes he knocked one up.

Normal rules of Health & Safety presumably don't apply to such migrant workers then.

[Barry the Badger]

Health and Safety my arse. If he wants to make a ladder out of some planks of wood then fair play to him. At least the job got done.

[RonManager]

For the cost of 5 scaffold planks you can buy a decent ladder from Screwfix.

 

Much lighter too!

 

And it folds down, for easy stowage. You try folding a plank!

[Julian H. Cope]

I like his child style workmate with matching chair.

[OLYMPIC]

At least the rubble would of broken his fall.

What you think if he slipped, and went through your window?

 

Fair ply to him I'd say, because you were prepared for him to take the risk and would therefore not complain or want compensation for your broken window?

 

On a more serious note.

 

Are you aware that SKY installers now have to drill your wall for an eyebolt and restraining strop for their ladder? They get a severe bollocking if their inspector finds that they have not done it.

[Dog]

That was the SKY man, my mate slipped him a fiver to put the light up after he installed the dish in exactly the same way. Apparently his mate Dorcus was busy window cleaning, hence no ladder.

I would be impressed if he went through those double glazed windows from that position.

[Thedelldays]

personally, I would not let him go up a ladder at all...a cherry picker is the only option..and only if we he wrapped himself up in loads of bubble wrap

[Dog]

Sorry, that is Karol installing the dish for SKY.

He even used a 240v mains drill ffs.

He did manage to stop for lunch mind, to consume 4 sausages, a tin of pickled cabbage, 2 cans of Polski lager and a small bottle of Warvod, local vodka.

I get it, he couldn't be bothered to bring the ladder from his van round to the back of the house.

 

Cobra would be interested in those antics.

Jeez I used to work for them, how true.

Nice one centurion!

Didn't she do the weather on South Today?

Assuming this eye bolt would need to go near where the top of the ladder would come into contact with the wall, how does he get up there to drill the hole?

[Ponty]

Innovative. Just the sort of "get done" guy that British industry could do with instead of the slackers looking for any excuse to cry off a job.

Yes! but it allot easier to find 5 planks on a building site;) than a ladder!

I'm not allowed to use a ladder to clean windows, the police can fine me if they feel the need, it's so dangerous climbing a ladder these days, they suggest I put scaffolding up, so instead of charging a tenner for an average house I'd have to charge £200, we live in the most law abiding ken barlow country in the whole world.

The guy that cleans my windows doesn't use ladders. He uses a very long-reach attachment - it's a franchise and I can't remember what it's called right now.

 

He only charges a tenner for windows and ledges, external doors etc. and he's bl00dy good.

 

It's called Ro-Sheen.

I sacked my window cleaner last week.

 

The wife can do it now.

I have one of those, they are sh*t, I just use them for business contracts, by the time I've got it out of the van and got it working I could of done the windows using a ladder and it doesn't do as good a job.

I can't understand why more people don't sack me, I do a terrible job most of the time.

[Dog]

My window cleaners are both female, fit, blonde, wear next to nothing, and do extras so I heard.

Maybe it's the operator? He does the job extremely quickly and very well. I'd recommend him to anyone.

 

And he's there every 6 weeks without fail. I used to get fed up with fly-by-night boys who turn up once or twice and then disappear without trace.

[Dog]

Well blow me, the window cleaners have arrived,Lol.

[Jillyanne]

My window cleaner uses a ladder and he is kind enough to clean the inside of the windows on my double patio doors for no extra charge (and no sexual favours either Dog).

Is that mess on the inside of the windows?

I'm 6 weekly as well, he sounds like a c*nt.

[SNSUN]

Dog, is this you?

 

[Dog]

He may sound like a c*nt, but he is off to the Maldives for three weeks next week, not Thetford-on-Sea.

It's a freebie, the father in-law is retiring early so said he pay for a little holiday, we asked for the caribbean but he decided on the broads. I hope my customers talk about me the way BTF talks about her c*nt.
