The wired stuff was what you did to entertain yourself when alone on a first fix...

Yes, I was actually trying to tell you you'd left your horse tied to the back. Poor thing was running like Seabiscuit.

 

[Kyle87]

Pork pie yourself

And Vaillant's are usually 'Valiant's'.

That really bugs me! I phone Vaillants technical once and the guy answered "Vay-Lee-Unt Technical, Bob speaking, how can I help?" I felt like replying "Well you can start by pronouncing you're employers name correctly for one!"

I often repair Worcestershire Bosch boilers aswell!

The only leaks I like are the ones you eat I am sure you have had plenty of practice to fix your own.

Once got called out to an elderly gent who had installed an outside tap to help him wash his car. Apparently it didn't work very well and the boiler was constantly tripping out. He was pleasantly surprised that sometime the water was warm.
Answers on a post card ( oh yes, pressure was always dropping on his system as well. )

I tell you what I'm not enjoying at the moment, call outs from my neighbours.

I know that sounds miserable, but I like to know when I'm home that I can choose whether to pick up the phone.

I moved from a totally remote property with no neighbours at all, to a house in a little close. Everyone is really friendly and maybe I'm just being a git. But I keep getting asked to do work by neighbours, and I'm really not up for it at all.

I got nabbed this very morning on the way out to my van. What can you say! "sorry mate, get another plumber" makes me look like a right ****!

I did actually turn down a bathroom, as I felt ok saying I was too busy for that, but when someone wants their immersion heater changed, it’s quite tricky to say no!

I won't work for anybody in at least a ten door radius. You end up getting the muppet three doors away knocking on your door at half eight at night because the taps dripping.

Just tell them you have a policy of not working for neighbours, as your home is a no work area.

 

[Dannypipe]

I need to start doing so, I'm a bit crap at saying no to people.

 

[mitchellcook]

Been there danny. I've done work for neighbours before. One of them thinks they don't have to pay me because i'm their 'friend', another one pays me with a few pots of ice cream that she gets from her work, and another one likes to knock on my door on sunday mornings for some diy advice.
