I've always known it as a Leaky. My Dad had a Plumber that worked for him many years ago. I only knew him a leaky....he answered to it.
 
Yeah we call them sparks now, or self-indulgent, arrogant, over charging pig dogs for short.


Its an odd one this the times ive been onsite and even when the electrical and mechanical are run by the same firm you think they'l lend you a set of steps for 5 mins !!!


As for what we should be called im sure it has no bearing on many of things ive had shouted at me hahaha

we always pinch the spark's lovely yellow steps when they go on break etc lol, they are also very handy for ties, rod, clipping to their trays etc. (although the cables always seem to be in our way!!)
