His Lordship woke me up at 7am for the sparky to finish wiring the aircon.

The sparky has still not arrived.

Plot twist - the power went out at the sparky’s house, his phone went flat and alarm didn’t go off.

(Actual true story from when we were having some electrical work done at our old place…) :|

Sparky will arrive at 4.30pm. Then not have something he needs to finish the job. Sparky might return before Christmas.

Arrived at 6:30 PM (!), did everything bar hooking up to the switchboard since they had no RCD to finish the job. Will be back tomorrow.

And if those guys are union they need a new goddamn rep.
