- Be still sad heart and cease repining;
Behind the clouds the sun is shining,
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life a little rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary

As does my "new" oil tank installed August 2007 ~ plumbers come and plumbers go and still the oil drips into a bucket. Compo is now being discussed but "they" can do nothing until the 1000 litres in the tank has been used up. So we are looking at about mid January 2009 to get the tank replaced.  angry041:

Certainly with Birmingham and Derby etc.

Travel out of London on the M1 and you will see a sign that says WATFORD AND THE NORTH. If it's good enough for the Highways Agency it's good enough for us.

Now put on thee flat hat and tak t'whippet for a walk.

 rubschin: Roof leaks, contact roofer, roofer arrives and hits roof with hammer.

Is this frustration on the part of the roofer, is he warding off demons or is it a serious attempt to make you believe he is doing something?

Thats a plausible reason, any layman not familar with the life of Captain Calamity could take one look at his antics and decide he's been possessed.  whistle:
