A new condensing boiler .....

Boilers over 15 years old are considered inefficient and in need of replacing regardless of whether they are working or not

I take it your insulation was all right then 

[Nick]

I have filed it and forgotten about it. New BOILER? 

What the fook for?

It will save me ?127 a year and cost nearer ?3000. I don't pay the gas bills 

[Miss Demeanour]

Which is what happens to most Landlord's EPC's.

Course you will need to supply your tenants with a copy when they move in 

[Nick]

We will. If they want solar panels and a new boiler they can pay for them themselves 

[Miss Demeanour]

Unless they contact the Council about the crap boiler in their property 

[Nick]

The boiler is fine. And what will the Council make me do, eh? EH?

[Uncle Mort]

How about PAT? (Portable Appliance Testing)

Never mind - it won't happen

How about PAT? (Portable Appliance Testing)

I used the kettle, the toaster and the microwave this morning. I appear to be still alive

Typical council example ~ as you know I have spent two years battling the local council over my boiler and oil tank. Latest man sent to inspect the now completed work scratched his head and asked (i) Why did you not have a condensing boiler? and (ii) Why did you elect to have an oil fired system rather than gas?

Answers which he received (i) If I had said yes to a condensing boiler I would have had no hot water for two f*cking years whilst you lot have been p*ssing about and (ii) Because there is no gas main in this village, the nearest gas supply is three miles away and the last time they were asked Transco said they wanted ?half a million to supply gas to the village PLUS ?3000 per house for actual connection.

I then asked if he felt qualified for the job he held. He left

PAT testing is only 'required' in commercial properties

Someone hadn't read your file before visiting you had they -

That'll be the file with AWKWARD BASTARD on the cover would it? 

[Miss Demeanour]

They wouldn't have anything thing like that on it - what with the Freedom of Information Act an all.

There may be some abbreviations you wouldn't necessarily recognise though
