Speechless

...well, actually I had quite a LOT to say, but I'm at a loss for words to describe this kind of thinking.

About a week and a half back, I did my regular bleed of the radiators. I have to do this every month or two as the system seems to have a leak in it; I didn't think this especially remarkable as I've had similar issues in just about every ( Read more... )

Don't forget to call in a qualified eletrician for when you switch the light on and ---- my head is about to explode, stand clear, everyone!

Hee! There's also the front door lock.. I'll get the locksmith out, I'm going to the shops in an hour...

Ugh.

Clearly because you live in council housing, there *must* be something wrong with you. And that *clearly* disqualifies you from performing the most basic of tasks.

Yeah. Cos obviously I am SO hamfisted and have SUCH muscular hands that I am capable of wreaking havoc with a small brass key.

Bloody people, it pisses me off.

You know, you should maybe mention to them that you have a VERY young daughter and you could be considered an At Risk person!!! I got much better service from Scottish Gas when I told them I had a medical disease.

Fuckers.

Ha. This is the council.. I'm already less at risk than half the scheme; at least I am an ADULT with a young child, rather than a child with a whole brood of children and no husband or partner.

I totally agree with your closing statement, though.

I have since spoken to someone marginally more sensible. They are still sending someone to assess, but apparently that's a condition of their contract with the council.

I also pointed out to them that the fact the council supply a radiator key with the front door keys when you move in, which sort of implies that the council expect you to bleed the radiators. The lady agreed. I think I might have got The Wrong Person last time.
