Call out at 15:00 yesterday....
"you qualified electrician"
Yes I am
"Good what you charge call out & hour rate"
Well £35 call out, then I quote for any work required parts & labour.
Some Chinese talk to his boss....
"yes yes, you come now"
Ok but whats the problem you have.
"smoke from black box, you come quick yes, we open in 1 hour half"
If there is smoke turn off all your electrics & call the fire brigade
"yes yes, you come to Peking garden" and he puts down the phone
So I travel the 10 mins to this restaurant and I get in the kitchen just in time to see the flame dying down & smoke dissipating.........
Issued an immediate EDN isolated & locked off, called SSE arranged for them to visit as a priority.............first time I've closed a restaurant

So we have a new MK cu fitted a few months ago & new tails/earthing conductors done at the same time by the same electrician.........
gas meter & all electrical switch gear in same cupboard & all caked in grease & cooking oil.
Massive electric ovens with the SP supply feeding the restaurant/kitchens & the upstairs living accommodation/flats.
The out come could have been so much worse & the muppet didn't call the fire brigade when I told him too........the place may get a fire safety visit soon :innocent
