What is the weirdest job you have ever been called out to. I was called out yesterday to remove a spider from a bath.

Mine could well be tomorrow morning - a bricky called me earlier panicking because he's fitted some new rads or something and is begging me to fix it before the homeowners return. I'll have the camera phone ready just in case.

Strangest call out to date for me though was to get someone's ladder back down from their roof. He'd let a roofer use his set as a cat ladder but he left them up there before packing his own away and going home.

Had a Saturday morning call out to get someone's bath plug out for them! That's up there with my weirdest
Reminds me, looked at a slow draining sink in sheltered accommodation where two fellas lived together and found a digestive wrapper and fully intact scourer sponge in the plug hole. They both denied any knowledge of how they must have got in there.

I once serviced a boiler and took the cover off and a gay pron magazine fell off the top.

Both of the male "friends" that lived there denied all knowledge that it was theirs.
