I can remember a workmate of mine doing various bodges.
He had a posh name for bodges that were likely to stay in place. They were fixed temporarily for good.
My most common bodge in the late 1990s was replacing and in some cases digging out the innards of those awful first generation washing machine door timers. They were so unreliable that I just did not trust even a genuine new one to last long enough to satisfy the owner. The first one I did had been fitted with three new ones under warranty. There was no way I was going to fit another one of those.
