Re: Feeling Good!
well done......1/7 call out sounds good........ I got told I had no tracker in my van, then it started having electrical faults, it went to the manufacturer garage for diagnosis, and guess what the cause of these electrical faults was???????????

Re: Feeling Good!
just play the 'health and safety' card........ I fix a/c for a living, not drains, I once refused to work on a condenser because of soiled underpants and used needles near it........... got the cleaning subbies in....... sorted..... same applies to pigeon s#it.......... just REFUSE it on 'health and safety'..........simples
