Is this a matter of an unpaid bill or a service fault? Heating usually won't work when the power is off.

Basic problems are Freeholder / leaseholder dispute with access to fuse box recently restricted by freeholder  - but freeholder has now agreed he will allow access tomorrow ( as long as I am there ) and mad man can then get his electrician in ....this will sort out immediate problem ...long term problems are going to be much more complex

But as I say it is much more complex than this and he has created an awful lot of fuss in some very high places and so we have to provide a response. Although to be honest this is more about mediation than anything else which we can do  noooo:

Thought so  lol:

Knows all his "rights" I have no doubt.

You could try asking him if he has a current visa and a work permit. whistle: In my experience they often don't and turn out to be "over stayers".

The Immigration Service lifted 17 of our staff one night shift. Ah the good old days  cloud9:

To deal with those who were big on their rights I used to send one of my supervisors. Big Lad, West Indian with an impenetrable accent. Worked like a charm and they didn't dare complain about him 'cos he was Bl**k.
