Got no hot water until the council
get a plumber on Friday!
Reported that my boiler had given up the ghost Friday just gone.
Was told that the earliest that they could get to me was Tuesday.
Working TUE, WED, THUR...
So Friday it is!

God, I would give anything for a bath right now.
A strip was with a kettle of water just isnt the same.
That happened to me one January and I had no hot water or heating for a couple of days until I went to stay at my parents. Boiler packed up and had to fork out £600 for a new one!

Not moaning about it as such.
Just a bit gauling when landlords (albeit)
the council, dont honor their contracts.
BUT because its council it
isnt important.
Oddly enough, nailit, people who own their homes and have to pay separately for plumbers and builders and electricians to come and fix things don’t always get immediate service either. We cope the same as everyone else in that situation has to cope. You’ll cope.
