I was waiting for Npower to change the electrickery meter, they were supposed to be here between 12 & 4pm, got here at 12.10. Well impressed!
The garage on the other hand, I have been waiting for them to ring about fitting my new bumper for 4 weeks... Can't get me tailgate open until it's sorted

And have you had to leave the heating off so they can do whatever they need to do to the boiler??
Bet Piskie could give you some ideas on how to keep warm

The Gas Man Cometh - Flanders and Swann

'Twas on a Monday morning the gas man came to call.
The gas tap wouldn't turn - I wasn't getting gas at all.
He tore out all the skirting boards to try and find the main
And I had to call a carpenter to put them back again.

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Tuesday morning the carpenter came round.
He hammered and he chiselled and he said:
"Look what I've found: your joists are full of dry rot
But I'll put them all to rights".
Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights!

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Wednesday morning the electrician came.
He called me Mr. Sanderson, which isn't quite the name.
He couldn't reach the fuse box without standing on the bin
And his foot went through a window so I called the glazier in.

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Thursday morning the glazier came round
With his blow torch and his putty and his merry glazier's song.
He put another pane in - it took no time at all
But I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall.

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Friday morning the painter made a start.
With undercoats and overcoats he painted every part:
Every nook and every cranny - but I found when he was gone
He'd painted over the gas tap and I couldn't turn it on!

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

On Saturday and Sunday they do no work at all;
So 'twas on a Monday morning that the gasman came to call...

I'd better have my car back by then!
At least you've got heat Wayne?- could be worse!

I've even left the phone downstairs, shoved my head in the bathroom sink and shampooed my hair....and I still didn't manage to be interrupted ( usually the doorbell or phone rings when I do that!!)

OH waited in for the gas man one day a week ago (not last week, the week before). He never showed and turned off his phone when OH tried to ring (OH had to take a half day for this). First contact was a "Im in the area, can I call now" a few days before - eh no, we're both at work. So appointment was duly arranged and not carried out. Gas man rang again last Tuesday to house phone at 8.45am (normally we're gone but I had an appt with the toddler so we were leaving late) - he wanted to come then and I said no, we both work and I am leaving in 5 mins. It would have to be on a saturday. (OH had sent an email complaining on Monday night). He rang OH again on Wednesday, having seen said complaint - not impressed. But arranged sat call out. OH was dying in bed on sat (but it was only ever going to be me meeting GM in person after email anyway), but he was nice as pie to the "little lady" (me) and the "budding engineer" (the toddler) - smarmy git was about 10 years younger than me.......Strangely, not a word said to me about said complaint (I presume he thought I was under somebody's thumb and unaware of it all when in fact I was beside OH when he wrote the thing and well aware of the whole drama!!).

Yey!!!!

Car's ready

I'm off.....

Many thanks for that, BW - a blast from my childhood - and yes, I could sing it through even now word for word!
