if the sparks get in the way trying to get in ahead then the blowtorch comes out 🙂 they soon learn to let you carry on.
once i took my brand new dewalt drill to work and left it any the rest of my tools in the bedroom next to the bathroom i was doing. while in the van the painter went in the bedroom and rolled the ceiling. when i came back in i saw paint spots all over my new drill :83: lets just say the painter almost cried.
We stripped out an old heating system in Edinburgh, new pipe work etc. the joists were notched and drilled already so we were just using the old pipe runs, anyway, we left to weigh in the scrap and turned up the next morning to find the sparks had used all our runs for their cables, lots of swearing and arguing until I lost my rag, got my snips out and cut every second cable... Power was off as they were doing a rewire, problem solved though!!!
Great!!
Makes me warm inside as I've had similar crap in the past.
Funny thing is, before the regulations where as tight as a ducks butt, I had wired whole houses up on my own....no problem. I know there is a lot of abracadabra with the testing ect, but my god it's dull and I don't think half the sparkys get it.

I have never had a problem with sparks. Some do come accross as though they are better than us but you get that in all trades.
Ok so sparks never clean up after themselves but I have never cleaned up after 1 as its pretty obvious whose mess it is with bits of wire all over the shop. They run their cables all over the shop because they are nice and flexible and they can and it has made my life a little harder at times but not alot.
I think that they are on the kind of mindset as we are as both are not just electricians/plumbers/heating engineers we are also plasterers builders chippies etc.
The trade ive always had a problem is plasterers bending pipes up and back into the wall to make their lives easier even though patching up a big hole where ive belted my boot through the plaster has usually taught them. And people who do not have a clue a sparky on our company cannot wire a Y plan but will not listen to me as I'm just a heating engineer (He links the white and grey together instead of running a wire from HW off on prog)

Here's what they think of us, straight from the horses mouth so to speak:
Well heating engineers, to be honest it always makes me laugh that, the same as do PAT engineers and domestic appliance engineers, they are have a giraffe
Gas fitters, well they are electricians with their brains kicked in
And plumbers well all they need to know is Poo don't run up hill and never ever bite your finger nails ..........and are gas fitters with their brains kicked in
No in all honesty I have no problems with any of them as long as they know their place ....which is below us

Here's my wee contribution.
Any muppet with a screwdriver, pliers and a major chip on their shoulder could become a spark.

Cos I'm getting too old to drink solidly through the night until 6am!!
Stag do's are the worse. The hangovers last for about 2 days, and I don't feel right again for a week.
I drink most nights, but in moderation. Carnage drinking (as my mates call it) is fun at the time, but since hitting my 30's I've less interest in getting totally legless.

you are not the only one Danny !
I am the same but when there is a good reason to party my basic instincts to party do comes back 🙂
most importen tink for me is to eat a lot when drinking (meat/chips) and control the amount of drink going in ,and the tricks work !!!!
one night was really really drunk ....had a kebab in mates house 30min later was sober ! ! ! good old days when i was single 🙂
