Hope your enjoying your Friday night...

[ChrisElectrical88]

As you are all chilling out and preparing for your weekends, some of us are heading out in the ****ing rain to start our Christmas lighting contracts! Anybody else on here got Christmas lights going on this year? Ripping down a old 300m festoon tonight! Grim!

 

[telectrix]

300 miles. that's some long festoon.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Haha can you imagine! I'd still be there in 2015!

Bit early for all that isn't it? Or do I lead a sheltered life?

christmas should be banned, for the stupid, meaningless, consumerist drive to force stupid people into debt buying tat that no-one wants or needs, that it is.

What's Santa going to do then?
You heartless..........

he can go work for birds eye on the arctic trawlers. give him a taste of real work instead of sitting in woolworths going HO<HO<HO.

I enjoy Christmas Day, mainly because I have young kids! But up until Christmas Day with these Christmas lights I am one moody man! The amount of people who say 'Christmas light already' I want to scream!! They must think they appear overnight! Takes 3 months to get them all up over the contracts we have!!

 

[VoltzElectrical]

anybody who celebrates christmas by buying rubbish presents for everybody, and spending hundreds of pounds on spoiled brat kids who value nothing, whilst getting themselves in debt, fretting about dinner for ONE frikking day, is MENTAL AND SHOULD BE ADMITTED.

With so many people subscribing to this madness, it's no wonder DIs can't get paid for electrical work, as the clients are saving all their £££££ for CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS.

FFS

Makes me want to hang myself.

I hate people.

When the kids were young I enjoyed Christmas.
Now it's just an expensive waste of time and money that gets in the way of me earning a living.

don't do it then. opt out, like i have!

I haven't opted out instead we have a limit on how much we spend and more importantly how much time off I take at Christmas.

Rip it down and don't replace it.

Save the planet, don’t waste power!

To be fair everything new going up is LED now. Costs a fortune to supply but the amount of people who want expensive Christmas lights and are happy for council tax to go on them is very high!

That's the spirit!
I also view Christmas as a huge, pointless bag of d*cks

 

[telectrix]

but you have to admit that blackpool luminations are essential. how else would biff find his way home from the pub.

This thread has made me realise something... All electricians are grumpy!

 

[Knobhead]

I’ve got every reason to be grumpy. Its my bloody birthday!

 

[High Tower]

Happy birthday!!
