Good Morning Early Birds!

Tuesday. A smidgen warmer until the wind gets out of bed.

Have a happy day everyone.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Morning Boaty - a smidgen warmer? Don't think so - snowing up here - very light but it is defo snow!! Temp on car 0.5 - heater was on full and now in office and bloody boiler hasn't fired up - going to stick my size 10s up it's Yabbie. Back in a minute or 2

[WELSHYORKIE]

Didn't put yabbie - put a r s e but I guess the filter kicked in!!¬

[waterboatman]

Morning Welshie. It's .5 of a degree warmer. As it'e only -3'5 :o}

The boiler saw you coming mate. Maybe it's learning! :o}

[WELSHYORKIE]

We had another engineer come and look at it yesterday and he has condemned it!! 'Beyond economical repair' is the technical term but f**ked was the actual term he used. Awaiting a quote for replacement. Facilities Manager said he was going to look at the possibility of having a remote control sytem for the boilers, so that I don't have to leave my desk!!

[waterboatman]

There goes your morning exercise mate! I'm well acquainted with BLR and BER. :o}

[albaqwerty]

Goodly morning folks xx

Sweetcheeks, that infernal boiler should have been replaced and not repaired over the chrimbo hols. The company which 'fixed' it should be shot.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Morning sweetpea - bit fired up this morning, aren't we? Beejay will be getting hot under the collar!!! The firm who 'fixed' it are no longer on our tender list due to other issues which I am unable to comment on. Should have stayed with the local 'one man band' plumber who gives good service, albeit at a price. My ethic is that I use local suppliers wherever possible, they have never, ever, let me down - they can't afford to lose a big account like ours

[waterboatman]

Morning albs xxx It's probably not their fault. If yon boiler is cream crackered there is not much you can do to patch it up.

How are you this morning? :o}

[waterboatman]

Quite right Welshie.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Not true, Boaty, they should have told us that it was knackered and put in a quote to replace it, not to keep coming out to do 'fixes' with a £200 call out fee each time

[waterboatman]

I didn't know that mate but I agree, they should have told you.

[albaqwerty]

At the time that company did sound as if they were a bunch of chancers.
Who can afford to lose business in this climate, they obviously think they can.
idiots.
Too early to all them what they really are!!

Anyhoo, the younger alba had 'words' with me last night, unfortunately I've a long memory. Silly boy.

[waterboatman]

I don't fancy his chances albs! :-O

[murraymints]

Good morning all from Edinburgh.....cold here ..no snow ....yet...xx

[waterboatman]

Morning minty. xxx Dad OK?

[albaqwerty]

Morning Minty xx
You mean you and your sister haven't got Alfie in the cupboard under the stairs?

[WELSHYORKIE]

I have a printing stationery supplier who goes out of his way to ensure that any of my stuff gets delivered well within the 'estimated time of delivery'. For example, I placed an order on a Tuesday for a batch of cheques with an estimated delivery time of 10-14 working days - they turned up on the same Thursday!!

[humbersloop]

morning all x

it's a draw! it's a draw!!

resumes tea drinking and staring, with renewed serenity

[albaqwerty]

The good ones are always good sweetcheeks.

Morning Sloopy xx
Heard that on the radio thismorning and thought 'that's going to be a happy sloopy on the go this morning!'
Survived Yorkshire yesterday then?

[WELSHYORKIE]

Morning Minty - all ok?

Sweetpea - he'll regret crossing mummy dear - been there, done that, worn the tee shirt!!
