Unless the site manager is in on it Pete, how does he not notice that an entire pallet of bricks has gone missing (and was delivered by a man on the site diggery thing), surely it can;t all be written off to wastage? And that a sparky goes awol for an hour, along with a length of flex and a socket (ok that's harder to miss). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varies from site to site and person to person. If they have a surplus of brick (for example) or have at least ordered a large amount in advance then they may well simply not notice and then just order more later when they find they're getting short. The spark is a simple case of being on the clock but taking a quick cash job and hoping the gaffer thinks he's in another part of the site and doesn't notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a sparkly electrician would be a problem, he'd almost certainly be a fire risk and definitely a distraction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers both. Black market economy saved me a fortune anyway. The digger guy even came along and flattened my back garden for me in 15 minutes flat, trundling over the next-door neighbour's hours-old turf-prepped garden in the process 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. I did get to meet Bryan Prunty's brother too, who came across to chat when he spotted me outside in my Sons top. He wasn't sparkly either.

Hey, wait a minute... I've got sparkly white worktops!

White worktops with sparkly bits in them, and black splashbacks with sparkly bits in them. And white gloss units with halogens pointed at them, for the full on "snow blindness" effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind with lovehearts and bears embossed on them? edit: ooooo, and a silver Moet bottle?
