D asked for a hand with a 307cc roof, it got stuck in open mode. We tried to close it by hand but you needed to be Geoff Capes to lift it , well 2 old farts with bad backs didnt cut it! What a bar steward , I worked out one of the catches not releasing. All worked by cables but it needs more trim removing to see what is what.

I hope they never put you on subs maintenance 😳

Turns out two other crew have also been ill and had helped an unwell passenger so that's that mystery solved.

I still won't recommend the pork Asda though

How did they help?  Swap bodily fluids? 

Scraped her off the floor apparently.

Flourescent inspection lamps that refuse to shine light on what you're working on, and instead just want to shine in your eyes effectively blinding you.

I made a lead up with a screw lamp holder on it, and got something similar to this and a 1/4 of the price.

May not be 100% for every jop, but the adjustable arms help.

Other LED/output/size/arms etc are availablr.

Yesterday to be precise. Twisted over on an uneven pavement area near the riverside in Ely. Went down like a sack of spuds. Cuts on right arm and knee and bruises appearing in various other places too.
Had Xrays on knee and elbow and also a CT scan as i'm on blood thinners, all came back clear. Was at West Suffolk hospital for six hours, Christ you do life up those places.
Just taking it easy now, as knee has stiffened up so stairs are one at a time. Oh well. shit happens.

Think that councils deny any claim these days. Perhaps we should all walk around with our eyes glued to the ground.

I spent about 3 years doing subs mtce before they tried multi skilling us all to cover everything, completely ruining what was a half decent job....    .....so I moved on.

One of them days, nearly ran out of welding wire, ran out of filler and then the battery was flat in my angle gauge. Gave up and went home.
