That's nuffin @Russell griffiths - A hamster ate my underpants

I - now - avoid Stanley as a brand because of its close association with America : the brand originated there (although manufacturing is now worldwide). If I can, I avoid anything American.

I sorted it myself. Sorted the rat too. 💀 Easy fix

Got to hand it to you. You had me there for a minnit.

@kandgmitchell, and @saveasteading point to a generalisable problem inaccurate or poor workmanship is commonly excused by reference to the follow-on trades : or preceding trades and that process continues until chippies can justifiably say that they compensate for everyone else's errors of commission or omission. Added to that, there's a pernicious tendency to attribute fault to a customer who (as in this case) has the temerity to draw attention to a genuine problem. @kandgmitchell 's formula - reference to standards required by others - is a superb way of professionalising matters. Works well across all professions - apart from undertakers.

Yes, you should. How you do that is the key You are not an expert - or assumed not to be an expert: and the minute you start pointing to what might - or might not - be a problem, you become a target. For his (?) ire. Raise the issue in plain straight terms: I see this [...] as a problem. Am I correct in thinking it is one? How are we going to get to the required level ? And by when ? Do not suggest an answer to your question(s) - you'd be pissed off with me if I came and asked you why you'd coded that 'class' as you did. Give clear direction on the desired outcome Supervise daily - take a benign interest in the short term, tighten as necessary Under no circumstances pay him yet.

See .... told ja' ... you're missing out on a complete realm of human existence. Gay American politicians and electric wheelbarrows : yer missing out boys, missing out. #sadbuggers
