The nation's sweetheart Dermot Bannon has confessed that, whilst people expect his own home to be an architectural masterpiece, it's actually rather underwhelming. Ian made his own admission, even though he is radio royalty himself, that he never listens to radio in his own house. So, he put it to the nation and asked for more profession confessions. It seems we put our own jobs on the (very) long finger....
From the tradespeople whose own houses could do with a bit of attention...
- I turn on the florescent light in the kitchen with a tip of the handle of the brush! Gavin, an electrician from Longford I install alarms. Alarm at home is out of action since October. To say the wife is not best pleased is an under statement. Paul in Limerick
- Hi Ian. My dad is a carpenter. The folks bought new doors and skirting and had them in the house for 5 years to hang and fit. One day, Dad came home from work and Mum had the Yellow Pages out looking for a carpenter to fit doors. They were hung in 2 days after that!
- My hubby is an electrician. He "borrowed" a plug off an appliance 2 years ago and it's still not replaced.
To the animal lovers whose pets need to be looked at...
- I am a dog trainer. My own dog is a lunatic.
- I am a vet and have 4 much loved pets, none of which are up to date on vaccinations, flea or worm treatments. I see the consequences of not doing it daily, yet somehow haven’t found the time for years
And everything in between....
- I'm a photographer with 7 kids and haven't got one photo of them all together.
- I work in IT and my home PC is full of errors and the printer doesn't work. I just hate turning it on when I'm home!
