Today there I was doing my usual job of servicing alarm systems nothing too strenuous. I was at one of our contracts which does a lot of charity work and employs blind people.
In fact 90% of the staff there are blind.

Anyway, after doing all the testing I was walking past reception when one of the workers heard me and called me over, he produced a plug he had just wired up. It was a complete mess but he seemed rather proud of it, he asked if it was correct (it obviously wasn't) I explained that it would be better if I did it and he refused, at this point I Could not contain myself and had to leave rapidly before he heard my laughter, I almost pissed myself when i got outside.

Its a wonder anything gets done nowadays. that said some things need changed and i wouldn't be happy using an electrical appliance wired by a blind person mind you i think I have seen more than a few houses built by people who must have been blind! -- and your point is................?
