Imagine having studied for years and years to achieve some
qualification in Electronic Engineering (employed in
Radar displays et. al ) and visiting home to hear your
mother telling her next door neighbour;- "Oh, Brian will
put in a plug(sic) in your washhouse for your new
washing machine- he's an electrician!" What do you do?
You get out the Rawlplug star drill and start bashing -
it was 1964 and life is to too short to try and explain.

Even worse was at one place I worked as an electronics R&D engineer, the
Health & Safety moron tried to tell me I wasn't qualified to change a mains
plug.
