You big softy. I had to second fix this buildings video door entry system
after the guys that first fixed it were fired. Not one cable was labelled.


One time (about 35 years ago) I had to fix a 45 year old intercom with a
couple of external extensions on armoured (po style) cable. The cables to the
extension had been labelled in a junction box with tie on labels. Should have
been easy to identify, but decorators had been along, and carefully painted
each side of the labels! Curses!


Decorators are a strange breed of people. Last year I went to service a
radio base station that was located in a tank room on top of a tower
block. The decorators had been in and presumably told to paint "all the
metalwork" with a thick grey paint. They had, including £2.000:00 worth
of radio. Including the front panel and LEDs.
