Just got in from a call out and was the best one yet.

I'm sorry for disturbing you on a saturday afternoon but ..... my showers on fire?! Where do I turn the electric off in the fuse box as it's still melting?

Lucky it's 30 Sec run down my road .... Went in and was met with a room full of white smoke from the melting shower!


..... WHO THE HELL BYPASSES THE SWITCH BECAUSE IT'S BROKEN TO GET IT WORKING......

Mr I'll Fix It did! Bypasses the power to the heating element so it would have to be switched on and off by the pull cord and like magic the shower boiled and melted when the water was turned off on the shower and left the pull cord on ....


Picture of what it looked like after the smoke had cleared!!

No one will take notice until there's a serious incident, then they will investigate. as long as it works when you switch it on I'm happy
