 It took a while to explain to them that I would leave unless it was rectified.
 
 So a new sky+ hd box is being sent out and free hd subscription and 25% off my current package.Comment

 and last week I notice a patch on the living room ceiling was discoloured (damp), there is a radiator above - so I foolishly thought my home care 200 would sort this out, so I called and an engineer came out last week.
 He said there was a leak and he needed access. He also put a screw driver through the ceiling to see if it was wet.Comment

 same clueless engineer comes out and is no use. So guess what he does ?
 
 Go on guess
 
 That's right he isolates a radiator and puts some solution in that might seal small leaks.Comment
