Fastest Person You've Ever Worked With

[TerryWaite]

Who is the fastest person you've ever worked with and what could they do?

I am pretty fast on screwed iron but probably slow by others standards on copper.

Fastest guy I ever worked with was an alcoholic from the Wirral, show him some beer tokens and watch him go, frequently cutting himself to ribbons with the hacksaw just sawing frantically.

 

[Killy Bing]

The new apprentices after me, never seen them fly out the door and down to the doll office so fast.....

 

[lame plumber]

dont do fast, just steady after all I charge hourly 🙂

 

[Dotty]

Steady for me too. I've seen too many leaks left by speed merchants!

 

[TerryWaite]

Yeah I don't rush like. It takes me a full day to do a combi swap with easy gas, flue, condense. Just wanted to hear of some speed merchants.

Sometimes leaves me gobsmacked. He's got often a job done before I've finished thinking it through...

 

[hammers4spanner]

[SafeGasInstall]

Sometimes...

 

[TerryWaite]

Who is this Tamz Stan? If he is as good as you say he is he can labour for me, £100 a day cash

I remember him posting once about doing a combi and 6 rads full system install and being done by 1 or 2 in the afternoon. That must have been something to see!

 

[TerryWaite]

I think you are pretty fast Stan, you get stuck in, couldn't have done that job in Enfield without you

 

[Masood]

Who is this Tamz

Nobody really knows...

He's a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a riddle. Some say he sweats pure Buckie, and keeps the Loch Ness Monster in his fish pond. All we know is, he's The Tamz! 😛

[TerryWaite]

Lol, that's one way to quicken up, cut out thinking altogether, that is like some sort of transition stage between man and machine!

John The ultimate plumber is Tamz Tbh ....

I would love to have a bottle of single malt with him one day 🙂

Thats when i was in my prime. I'm past that now but can still do it in a day if i feel like it.
Its like Steve says. You work on autopilot. Don't think about what your doing think about what you'll be doing next. Also lean how buildings are constructed will save you lots of messing around trying to do the impossible Thinking takes time and time is (less) money on pricework.

Better bring 2 bottles then :lol:

There are a lot of guys out there better than me.

 

[TerryWaite]

No need to be modest now Tamz 🙂

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I will one day Tom , I will !

Fastest person I ever worked with was Robert Holden who won the TT singles on the Isle of man, in 1995 on a Ducati averaging 110.78 mph. Tragically he died the following year.
