Worked at a BIG, POSH hotel in west London. 28 floor tower with low level "wings" coming off it. Perimeter lights etc on the wings shining down to illuminate the grounds etc, access cradles for cleaning the windows and so on. The low level wings were LITTERED with jaz mags, KY tubes, condoms etc plus TV remotes, paperbacks, empty miniatures and the big old style telephone directories. We used to refuse to work up there until it had been cleaned. My mate refused to go up unless he was wearing a hard hat. No laughing matter being hit by a used hypodermic or dildo dropped from the 28th floor! Turns out the hotel used to rent whole floors to the US Navy. They would be driven up on coaches from Southampton etc and go BERSERK in London for a few days. The local ladies of the night made a killing.

Then another job near London Bridge. We used to know it a Dogs**t House. The live in caretaker had a flat on the top floor and kept an alsation and jack russell. He used to exercise them on the roof and they'd cr@p and pi$$ everywhere. Again we refused to work until it was cleaned up. His SOLUTION was to double up a couple of bin bags and dot them around the roof. Of course they eventually became too heavy to lift so you had these sh!t statues that just got bigger and bigger over the years!

Brandon Estate? Kids ripping the temporary covers off the lift shafts and emptying bin bags down on us! Roundshaw Estates in Wallington - they used to throw USED nappies at us!

Another place in Cambridge, the caretaker lived on the grounds and would escort us through the building, up into the lift motor room and then out onto the roof. All the time he'd be watching us like a hawk and would keep checking up on us. It was pouring one day so we sat with a flask in the lift motor room. Found his scotch and **** stash! Seems he's tell his missus he was "just doing my nightly checks Dear!" and dive off for a quick one on the roof. Think I've still got a copy of Fiesta from there! Funny, he never mentioned it - always like to think it might have been his favourite mag!

Anyway, I'm off to join the US Navy! :smile5:

exellant clicon and all the other posters--------------------------------
i subbyed on some council house rewires , well- theres always the last few "difficult" houses left at the end that no one wants to go into-
so-- we teamed up with anoter pair of sparkies to rewireone of the problem houses on a saturday-- we reckoned we could finish it in a day, all 4 of us--
when we went in,it bloody stunk, dog crap everywhere
the bedroom smelt terrible but we couldn,t find where the stink was coming from-
turned out the girl who lived there was putting her used tampons into the airing cupboard, behind the h/w cylinder-- (perhaps she was drying them out to use them again!

Got bitten,stung or scratched in an attic space recently. There was a little red mark on the side of my knee and over the next few days it got itchy and bigger and started oozing. Had to go and see the Doc, turned out it was impetigo and I was put on a large dose of antibiotics for over a week.
