the man !!
the man who is coming to put the thermostat on the wall. When I arranged for the new boiler they told me it will be 2 days to fit. Right, so I take Monday and Tuesday off work ( as you would ). Man #1 turned up at 8am yesterday and worked without a break until 5:30 to ensure we had heating and water.
As he left he said Man #2 will be along " sometime soon " to fit the thermostat.. eh " sometime soon " ??? what the fuck does that mean ??, anyway he says " will someone be in this week ?? "
fuck me, i'm going to have to ring them and let them know i'm back at work tomorrow.. Banghead Banghead
progress report at lunchtime..

It's yer regs innit mate .... new boiler installation has to have a room stat before it can be "commissioned" dunnit.
You will recall I had this debate with the local council and the installers last year. Fortunately being in Wales the "new Regs" that came into force in Jan 2007 apply only to England but it was a hell of a fight to get them to accept that simple fact. They wanted to fit a "Room Stat" despite the fact that every radiator has an individual stat on it "Cos its the regs innit" .... to achieve this they proposed drilling through five walls to position the stat in the "living room". I pointed out that we had two "living rooms" which bolloxed them for a while whilst I checked out the legal facts as applicable in the Principality and then I was able to get letters from the Environment Agency that overruled the local buildings regs man.

The rules must have changed, we can have the stat wherever we want it, so it's going on the landing, they can take as long as they like to come and fit it, they wont be getting paid until the job is done, also the old boiler is still sitting on my front lawn even though another " man " was coming yesterday to take it away
still no sign of either men yet.. evil:
I feel the urge to go in the garden and burn some cardboard to annoy the neighbours on this lovely sunny day

Nah ... the rules don't change ~ it's the local government arseh*les officials who interpret them and the tradesmen who use them to make money out of you that "invent" the needs and "must-dos".

Talking of pikeys. They have moved in opposite my workplace which is about 200yds down the road from Patricia Hewitts HQ.
So the question is will it be Hewitts office broken into first or will someone miraculously find a way speed up the legal eviction process.
Or better yet a mutual firebombing. cloud9:

Nip out to the shop for five minutes, they'll be a note from him when you return

Oh,the old "bang your head on the door" routine, it gets the sympathy vote every time Berek. They teach them all these ploys when they're doing the apprenticeship two week course
