I was working in Relate last week. I was offered a brew and said "tea please" but was then given coffee. I pointed then out that is how couples start arguing.

Hopefully as an electrician :-)
It's not the coffee instead of tea, it's the *not listening*

I had neighbours like that a long time ago. He probably just about knew which end of a screwdriver to hold but couldn't put a nut on a bolt. Absolutely hopeless he was but she was reasonably practical.

Funny if she turned out to be Sarah Beeny...

Lady?
Did she then give you a leaflet saying "99% of arguments start when the man talks back" :)

I would say that Relate is 70% women in that office.

They hear quite clearly, but like alpha dogs try to assert who is boss.

Do their comfort pets make up the other 30%, or are they 'don't knows' ?

Well she was not Sarah Beeny. But she was good at DIY/demolition/sweeping up etc[1].
I met her at 8am yesterday morning, had a chat about where sockets, lights etc were going and by dinner time she had demolished the fireplace, ripped out half the kitchen as well as sweeping up the mess I made chiselling out the walls for the cables and back boxes. Her other half arrived at 1pm after finishing work and ripped out the bathroom.
Her Dad has taught her well. She was definitely more clued up than her partner.
[1] Although it probably was not a good idea to remove a piece of plywood blocking off a chimney breast to see what was behind it whilst looking up at the plywood. I could have told her that it would be soot.- Vote on answer

Crumbs, she's a go-er.
Might have been her mother :-)
But then there wouldn't have been any excuse for her to take all her clothes off and jump in the shower.
Or does that only happen in videos.

Definitely her Dad. He is some sort of handyman in the Medway area.
He will be driving up next week to fit the kitchen.

Was this the daughter expert in using a power tool to go straight into a bloke's bone marrow?

Just what I was wondering or does he have more than one daughter?

Dave has two daughters. However this job was for the one that is the paramedic.
She has moved up North to be with the love of her life and they got the keys to their new house on Friday at 3.45pm. It needed a rewire and at
67 miles from me it was well within striking range for me to do the job.- Vote on answer

not to mention the affordable house prices :-)
That's nice.
At first I thought you were joking about TMH!
