I expect the engineers are drawing lots to see who has to go to the Temple of Doom.

At least you work from home. Count yourself lucky you don't have to take time off work to be there.

British Gas are shite in my experience...

We had a ten star gold/platinum/diamond service plan with them for years... then the boiler packed-up and they claimed it was obsolete and couldn't be fixed... new boiler mate, they don't make these any more, etc.

I managed to find the parts at a local plumber for about 2p and forced them to repair it...  eveilgrin:

Maintenance contracts with British Gas are as useful as as an extremely useless thing...  noooo:

The fault turns out to be a fault made by the installer. "If we shop him he will lose his CORGI registration" said the Gas Man.

I called the installer. The Gas Man spoke unto him. Forthrightly

He is on the way round  eveilgrin:
