Regrets, Disasters & Dodgy Decisions: Real Trade Stories
The Clive Holland Show
Monday, 24 November 2025 - 25 minutes
In this episode we’re diving head-first into the world of mistakes, regrets, and the unforgettable onsite disasters that every tradesperson secretly has… but rarely wants to admit.Clive is joined by John Argyle and John Cruikshank, who share some of their worst onsite stories, biggest lifetime regrets, and the unexpected lessons they picked up along the way. From questionable customers to jobs they should’ve walked away from, and the kind of decisions - professional or personal - that still make them wince, this episode is equal parts hilarious, emotional, and brutally honest.Whether it was a dodgy tattoo, the wrong job at the wrong time, or a customer they knew would be trouble, these stories prove one thing: every mistake teaches you something… eventually. If you love real talk, raw honesty, and laugh-out-loud moments from the world of trades, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
