Places you have worked

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

I just thought I would ask if you peeps have worked in various locations eg. hospitals, fire stations, nuclear power stations etc.? I find it hard to think of places I havn't worked.

I know I am sad:yikes:

Too many fitness clubs to remember Phil, car showrooms also. I did the local police canteen many years back, you would be surprised at how many cops asked for some free tiles or adhesive. When you explain that they are not yours to give away you get a 'and your point is?' look.

Phil Hobson dressed in a mini skirt, fake boobs concealed in a boob tube, thick mascara and a blonde wig wearing 7 inch stilletos

So long as you got the tiles straight Phil I dont care how you dress for work.

Car showrooms, tile showrooms Bathroom showrooms, Tesco warehouses that almost made me bankrupt when Dew Pitchmastic went under. Vets surgery, hospital theatres, airport, train station, bus stations castle, pubs, public swimming pools, fish n chip shop, Chinese restaurant and Gordon Browns bathroom. Only do residential now, with no interest in large commercial projects anymore.

In 1990, I worked in the official residence for the Vice President, in Washington DC. We were doing carpentry work, and the Secret Service shut the job down one day for reasons unknown. We called the boss and told him that we couldn't work, and he told me to "go help Kevin with the marble floor at such-and-such address".

I said to the boss "I don't know anything about tile!"

The boss said "Can you use a table saw? Well, shut up and go use the tile saw and help Kevin install that damn floor".:lol::lol:

I stayed on that job for a couple days until the Secret Service said we could go back to work in the VP's residence. My boss said that Kevin reported in that I had done a good job, so now I was a tilesetter.:yikes: We ended up staying at that tile and stone job for about three weeks, and from then on out I did tile work for that company most of the time.

Man, looking back on that time, I didn't know nutin' from nutin':yikes: .
