Got me started now, I did my apprenticeship for a small contractor in Bath, and as you may or may not know Bath has some beautiful Georgian buildings, the sort of work we were involved with was repairing the electrics in some these houses, along with other normal jobs.
I must have been about 18 and was sent on my first solo job, replace a door bell I think, anyway these house had dirty great big front doors (Adams Family style) got there knocked the door and I could hear the owner hobbling along the corridor, door opened with lots of creaking and there stood the spit image of Boris Karloff (he of the early horror movies) scared the brown stuff out of me, needless to say fastest repair I ever did. Oh by the way Bath trounced Leicester yesterday just in case you're interested.
