algy Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 This could be a contentious issue!. Would you allow workmen to use your toilet in your bathroom while they are working in or on your home or property assuming you only had the one toilet and bathroom.

algy Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 What's a breaking up stick? Trust me Florence, you don't want to know and I' certainly not going to describe it's use, sufficent No.2 to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 You could ask them to bring a portaloo, when I had my garage built a comprtition the lads had was to see who could leave the biggest monster that wouldn' t flush away, they had great contenders every day.

Eagle Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 As long as they hadn't drank 10 pints of Guiness the previous night ! I suppose two bottles of Polish Vodka is a definite no as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I suppose two bottles of Polish Vodka is a definite no as well. Curry is a damn site worse, that's why I started the thread, we had two lads carry out work for us from a company that we have used many times over the last eight years, one guy asked if he could use the toilet my reply was yes, no problem, however there was a proble, and he caused it, I went in the bathroom probably ten minutes after him and the stench was sickening to say the least, with the toilet pan soiled very badly, when I tackled him all I received was a shrug of the shoulders and the word bad curry muttered, so as far as I'm concerned when requested again the answer will be a definite NO!, in fact I shall make it clear before any job starts that the toilet is off limits.

Cleopatra Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 A tip handed down by Katie Boyle (remember her?) many years ago and works everytime. When someone uses the toilet and creates a bad smell, strike a match and the smell has gone instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone uses the toilet and creates a bad smell, strike a match and the smell has gone instantly. Well aware of that one Cleo, I struck four matches one after the other and then sprayed with air freshener plus the window was open and you could still smell it, I don't know about a bad curry I'm of the opinion he ate a gangrenous rat, it was so bad that I wouldnt let mrs algy in there for about half an hour, plus I had to clean the mess up, I was within an inch of reporting the guy for his attitude but mrs algy persuaded me against doing so as her reasoning was that in this day and age it easier to lose a job than find one.

Dizzy Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 ........ in fact I shall make it clear before any job starts that the toilet is off limits.

Dizzy Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 What's a breaking up stick? Clearly you have never been camping or in a touring caravan Cleo (I hasten to add that I have never needed a stick myself but I know someone who has... it was actually a small but sturdy twig off a nearby tree but still makes me laugh to this day ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Presume it was a while ago Alg; if those workmen were on time and a tird ?! It happened last Weds, obs. Wouldn't have been too bad if it had been a 'floater' but it was a spray job. (I worked part time on hotel maintenance for ten years so plenty of experience with blocked toilets etc, so imagine how bad it was to make me feel sick!)

Cleopatra Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 They would probably smack him one if he tried to get a grip while they were watering the privets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watering wouldn't be a problem, it's the spreading of untreated fertilizer that's the problem!, anyway Davy - what's to grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
