That must have been quite a show,

Not as much of a show as when I tested a shower and got a nasty load of belts off it, because I didn't unplug it from the mains before I dis-assembled  it. he wasn't there and luckily my wife pulled the plug. literally, from the wall socket.

 

Not a job I would want to repeat.

Many young adults 'unable to do basic DIY tasks' - including changing light bulbs

Halfords said its study suggested that many from Gen Z were GOTDITs - get others to do it - amid a lack of basic knowledge when it comes to straightforward DIY jobs.

Is this a joke? If only...

Read that link and weep!!! 

Quote: "Fewer than two thirds of the 323 people surveyed in the younger age group said they would be confident cleaning a car, often saying they would get a parent to do it."

 

FFS!!!!! 😲

I seem to recall earning pocket money as a teenager by cleaning my Dad's car!

 

I asked my young neighbour a while ago if she checked the oil, water and tyres on her car regularly - she just laughed!

 

I will admit to not liking going up ladders - that's more my dislike of heights than not knowing how to and I'll admit to being a wimp there!
