Helly Hansen Electrician's Workwear Profile
I found this information on the Hellyhansen workwear website and felt this would be funny and also helpful for us electricians:
Helly Hansen Workwear guide to what workwear you should be wearing to keep you comfortable throughout the day or night.
An Electrician (Sparky) a little known fact
In the UK, United States, and Australia "spark" or "sparky" is slang term for an electrician. Sparky’s are often renowned for their sense of humour.
Q: What do you call a carpenter working on a domestic electrical consumer unit?
A: Dead!
Mercedes-Benz Vito Range
Of all the insignia that it’s possible to have adorning the grille of your next commercial vehicle, the celebrated three-pointed star of Mercedes-Benz is probably the most alluring. Lots of major motor manufacturers dabble in the CV market but none of the ones that do can lay claim to the kind of brand equity associated with that German firm.
Ford Transit Connect Van Range
Ford may have arrived fashionably late into the modern small van market but with their Transit Connect, they certainly made an effective entrance. Still, the competition is much tougher these days, hence a series of improvements designed to keep the design current. What hasn’t changed is an impressive all-diesel engine range and that trademark Transit strength.It seems a very long time ago that small van manufacturing was based on ‘box-on-body’ car-derived vans.
Citroen Berlingo Dual Fuel Van
Citroen’s Berlingo van makes most sense in the Dual Fuel form we look at here, based on the entry-level 90bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine. The alterations take this variant from being a modest 34mpg performer when it comes to running costs to being stand-out in this respect. Plus the basic product itself is pretty practical too.Other van manufacturers would probably like to know the reasons behind Citroen’s success in this sector across Europe – so they probably ought to be reading this. Indeed, across the continent, one in seven Citroen products sold is a commercial vehicle.
