I would not consider fitting a plug to be an obscure task for an
electrical apprentice, even a first year one. What is obscure is that
he did not fit the plug to the extension lead that he was given but
went to the van and fitted the plug to a roll of flex.

And yes I took the **** out of him at the wholesalers when he got stuck
trying to get out of the front door with the sign saying pull on it.


You should always try pushing a "Pull" door in case the door goes both
ways and they just want to tell you what to do.


I always have trouble with the doors marked "Lift"
