Spending a wet saturday afternoon catching up on old forum posts I stumbled across this very informative post by Pete, which brings me to a story that happened to me a couple of months ago.
I was on call for the week when on the wednesday night I was requested to attend a alarm line that was faulty for an establishment called Temptations, straightaway my radar was alerted to the name and queried if they really needed for me to attend at night, to which the reply came back "with most hast"
On arrive to said establishment we were escorted to the alarm panel that had the misfortune of being located in the ladies dressing area.Of the 6 ladies that were there I could count the amount of clothing on 1 hand that they were wearing.The fault was quickly rectified and the said alarm panel was tested and all was well.Having worked above and beyond the call of duty the lady managress offered that our hard work be rewarded with a cold beer, at this point I had to decline the gracious offering as we were still on call an unable to consume alcohol But a pint of something else would greatfully received.Retiring to the bar for our said refreshments we discovered that there was only 1 patron in the establishment and it was a quiet evening, it was then 1 of the employee's decided to put some pole practice in on the main stage to go with our well deserved drinks.
So having finished a job well done I returned home with 3 hours overtime, Cannon fodder_uk who attended this with me is still yet to recover.
