Tea....lack Of

[The Seeker 3,048]

Used to work with a guy and he would ask "whilst I'm here do you want me to fix your kettle" women usually replied "why it's not broken" the checky b*stard would say "oh it's only I thought it was broken as I hadn't seen it on all morning"

 

I once worked at a womans house fitting some external lights the cow put a bucket in the garage to use as a toilet....

Had lads round here putting a fence up on Friday, gave them a brew in the morning, one at lunchtime and one at about 3. Nothing worse than being on a job and not getting offered a brew! Got bacon and egg rolls every morning with one bloke we used to do work for now and again, used to love going there! Like some of the lads have said, some of the worse fuckers are the stuck up, loaded middle class type. Coincidently they're usually the worst to get money out of too.. You do a job for some hard up old working class pensioner who is having work done out of necessity instead of vanity, and they usually keep the brew flowing and pay you bang on time..

I don't expect a cuppa if I'm working on a garden job but its nice to be asked .............

My next door neighbour was having a wall built beside ours, as they were at work all day the missus kept them in tea, with a bacon sandwhich at 10.... It cost me a fortune they were a right slow pair of old b*****ds lol..

 

It's a crime not to be kept in tea on private jobs IMO.. Plus a few biscuits too lol

Try working as a 'Rat Catcher'. You damn fast learn to say; " No, thank you! I had quite enough tea on the job I've just left "

 

While thinking; " Jesus f**king christ! Look at the state of this place! You dirty bast@rd. All I want is a f**king shower! "

Was working for a really posh couple in Altrincham years ago ,they were at work all day ,so at the start of the job they said "the back doors open,brewing gear and biscuits on the side,help yourself,and theres a downstairs loo through there" and off they went.....end of the week comes they thanked us,paid up,as I handed them the cups from the garden I said thanks for the hospitality etc and the lady of the house replies "we knew if we didn't ,youd be f***ing of to the café all the time for coffees, throwing polystyrene cups all over the place and pissing in my borders!! Another job we did in Wilmslow,nice posh house,we were tiling the bathroom,no sink or toilet in,so rather than walk muck through a bedroom to use the en suite for a pee,we just peed into the overflow pipe sticking up ready for the sink....the day after, the,jobs finished ,I go outside to rinse the grouting gear and notice the overflow pipe poking through the back of the bathroom,not connected to anything.....and a stream of piss pouring out of it....onto the conservatory roof,as the family sat there eating their dinner

when working in some of places in Bristol ,..............when a scag head comes over with no teeth,...and asks if you want a cuppa .........you don't really feel like one........

and some of the money people with big houses/buisnesses,......... there usually the tightest and the worst for offering tea.......and then some are great ,..cant do enough for you......

If we've had the juice off for any reason, we have to check if the houses are back on when we've finished. I always tell the house owner "It's best to try the Kettle first to see if everything is working ok" It's surprising how many still wont make you a cuppa even then.

 

 

Part of our tool list is a Burner and a Kettle. It's for boiling up to wash your hands coz we can't get back to the yard. Everyones got one and we mash up with that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would never dream of not making someone working here a drink. We even make the old boy mowing the grass in the Graveyard next door a mash.

[Kay 3,709]

I automatically ask if people want a brew when I have one , most usually have a flask with them anyway to be fair , it costs nothing to ask if they want one rather than them go all day without a drink

I dont envy builders and people who work in private homes, some people are ingnorant f***ing turds.

 

That said, if we are out working and clearing a job I almost never stop for tea or something to eat........my lads f***ing hate it but I would rather just get on with it and eat and have my tea indoors a bit earlier.........I can see them smiling if they go to a job alone but they load up in the garage and cram their face before we get there if I go with them
