Once did a job in Chappletown (leeds) ... lets just say its an area with a reputation anyway was wiring fire alarm systems to converted houses to flats, tenants still present, well as you do you tend to have a natter with the occupants and one such young lass was nattering away and i noticed a photo on the side of her with what can only be described as a dude looking like a big black rhino (brick xxxx house comes to mind), i asked if it was her chap to which she said yes and then explained hed just been sent down for shooting a bloke in a argument. She defended him as mistaken identity to which i played along and finished conversation.... wasnt till later in job when i found a stash of live bullets that i kinda made my own conclusions, gun case was empty though hmmm, already banged up so i decided i never saw anything ..:73:

yep....we do quite a bit round there...harehills, lincoln green,..lovel park....its like guns n drugs are the economy up chapeltown area...ford green n all that...

 

[GLENNSPARK]

a lot of the renteds we do EICRs and repairs on up harehills are just mucky little hovels...full stop.

did a job for a really posh couple, started work at 7.45 as normal walked in to the downstairs bathroom which we had been using while working at the property to find dirty knickers on the floor...upon further investigation :teeth_smile: found a used tampon in the middle of them...knocked me sick as the lady knew we were using that loo instead of the upstairs one.......

Once called out to a council house to find out why tripping occurring. CU in the entrance p***** wet through. Not a word of english spoken by the tenants. Directly above was the bog. Found a hosepipe from a sink tap hanging in the bowl. It wasn't easy getting my point over in sign language!!!!!!

Whilst doing rewire for a mate at his new abode, was getting lighting cable through immersion cupboard when i happened to find the previous owners lady pleasure kit. Still laugh now cos when she came round for any mail that was there that week he gave her it back. after that she got the mail redirected.

yeah...i mean a lot of the places we have to go in where the kids just look grubby uncempt and unwashed.......and another thing n all......sometimes they will be walking round the house with nowt on which makes me feel really uncomfortable.....i feel like either going out of the house until the parents dress their kids or asking them to put some clothes on em.....but you cant say owt though can you......im sick n tired of that really.....

I worked in this place they do tests on dead birds. As soon as I walked into the reception the smell hit me. I had to PAT test in a respirator all day, the scientists working there must of thought I was a right wimp but the smell was evil.

Also worked at smackhead council houses. Not nice.

during apprenticeship, crawling under floorboards of a uni hall, was like a maze with barely enough room to move when i came face to face with a mountain of maggots eating their way through a dead fox. I couldnt turn round, so had to shuffle backwards to get out!! Also at same company, it was a daily occurance to come across junkies needles, and occasionally the odd passed out junkie. The joys of being a council subby in leith!

Would'nt have got it out of the house glenn, it would have stuck to the carpet....I thought it could'nt get much worse then I went to price a rewire in Bradford on sunday It was the most horrible place I've ever been to, and then I got to the house. which was also the worst place I've ever been.
