the big white thing with a door that washes closes in the kitchen is a total mystery to me,its a bosch and just like its wall hung version has lots of plastic bits and a blue light
 
You were stupidly gullible on this occasion.
I wasn't gullible mate, it was obvious that I'd damaged it, either that or a coincidence and the customer can't lie as to how much the repair was, as British Gas will want a receipt for the part used and the work carried out. One thing I did learn from this experience, was that if a washing machine is in your way, move it and advise the customer that in order to work on the boiler in future, the washing machine will have to be moved for access or a unit built over it.

That's the difference between British Gas and you. We don't argue with the customer, if there is a doubt it was us at fault then we put it right. I know for a fact this customer wasn't taking the Mick, she was genuine, and as the pcb is situated right at the front of the washing machine where I put my foot, then how can I say it wasn't me?
 
I love the way the people who are quick to have a go at British Gas are suddenly saying that if they were in the same situation as I was with the washing machine, would argue the toss with the customer saying "it's not my fault" lol

As said you were gullible but then again the cost of the repair never came out of your pocket so no skin of your rse. The difference between your world and ours is your big buffer zone. (my buffer is called insurance but i still have to justify to them)

You don't need to argue anything as you work for a multi million £ corporation who will cover your rse!

Customers want peace of mind that if it does go **** up then it will be put right. Still waiting for a reply from the original poster of this topic. Hmmmmmmmm

And big gas are the only company in the land that gives peace of mind?. Talk sense. Even your 1 man band will go the extra mile for customer satisfaction. (excluding the cowboys who are here today gone tomorrow)
 
Can this please stop sometime soon? I'm actually bored of hearing about it. Too many threads about this...They are all same, end up been nothing to do with original post.
 
As I said.......... Still waiting for a reply from the original poster of this topic. Hmmmmmmmm
