      I should be there just after 6, mines a vodka martini ( shaken)

        I just used my local plumber, who used to come and service the boiler properly ( i.e. took it apart) a year and never over charged me

        Saved a fortune in the long run. In fact we're still using him.

          Byeeeee



          The tortured have all gone home now.

          So I shall too.

                Tried using my Homecare cover recently; they condemned my boiler and quoted me £7,500 for a new one.

                Called out a local firm who unjammed a stuck valve for the call-out fee of £60.

                True story, unfortunately

                  I'm sure the engineer's possible commission didn't influence him when condemning the boiler. No sirree

                    I thought homecare would pay for a new one?

                      I don't think it covers boiler replacement if the boiler is old
