David, missed your comment above.

You know the old saying:
"The cobblers kids are always the worst shod."
I think the same applies to sparkies own workshops.
It goes further than that too!.
I was at a new house one day, removing the Temporary supply and the Drill that belonged to the sparky, was in a shocking state of repair.
The flex on it had more tape than flex on it
and the case was held together with Duct tape and the plug was broken beyond belief.
The Inspector that I was with at the time (he was installing the new metering), cut the cord off it, just before he left and took it with him!, I've never seen anyone so ANGRY in my life, the sparky blamed it all on me, but I told him who done it and also told him that the Inspector was coming back, to THOROUGHLY inspect his work, when he was finished!.
