    Re: A Real Bad day at work

    Nasty! Hope your burns are not deep mate. Had a timer go up in flames many years ago after using a solvent, generally never use it indoors now.

    It is handy for cleaning motors all bonnie but would always take em outside now.. and spray at arms length! 😯

    Have you checked brushes? Door locking but nothing else happening can often result from worn ones.

    Re: evening all…!!

    I’ve pretty much had enough by 5.30, & am usually starving & ready for my deep fried mars bar & chips wot i have for dinner every night..

    As for Saturdays, often work a half one, its infinately preferable to being dragged round shops by ‘er indoors.. heck i’d work for free to escape that! 😯

    Oh good god !! Well, i’ll continue to avoid them ! Well, as long as there are punters who buy everything on price these things will continue to land on our shores, the current economic climate has no doubt bumped up sales at these price points.

    Even the dimmest customer will probably not come back for a second helping though.. :rolls:

    Well, maybe, just maybe, the buyers at Comet will learn something from this. Lower volume higher quality products are probably better for profits in the long term anyway, but as Ken said, it looked good to the number crunchers ,on paper.

    The goodwill generated by not putting your customers home on fire should’nt be underestimated either 😯

    Had a peek at the com which looked nice & shiny, machines only 12 months old. However, when i think about it, had a servis of a similar age 2 weeks ago with barely worn but stuck carbs, com was shiny too.. still suspect the panel though.. its got made in China on it. :eeek:
