Does anyone else’s business suffer every year with the Christmas nutters? People who flat out ignored your advice and now are desperate to have impossible jobs done before Christmas. so far this week I’ve had one customer with water pouring out of her boiler who I advised over a year ago to change it. She’s now worried that it might breakdown and her husband is ill. one customer with a forty year old boiler that’s now leaking and needs changing. We had the discussion two years ago. another customer with water peeing out of his boiler despite him telling me in the spring that he was changing it in the summer. A builder I know that’s been working on a house presumably for months. He’s gone as far as to actually buy a boiler and then only yesterday thought he’d better ask me to fit it. Again needs installation before Christmas. all three now wanting them changed before Christmas. Well not by me they won’t be. every year all the nutters come out in December. Anyone else find this?
Never mind all that, we have a faulty ball cock in the downstairs loo. What time can you get here tomorrow?
Different job , but every body wanted to be in their new house for Xmas , it was as though the world ended on 24 th Dec. On the plus Side it was a very busy period after Xmas on the probate front, with many clients coming to regret that they had wanted to take the advice but had delayed it ( obviously stressful times). Fortunately it was possible, in most cases to re- write wills to take effect retrospectively so all happy ! ……..can’t do that with a leaking stop cock yet…..plumbers get yer act together
I'm having a week off at Christmas,no calls will be answered because some people can't take no for an answer
Southern softies warming it up, Should be, and often is on a six inch nail in t’yard. That’s if your lucky to ‘ave a nail… We used to wa’m up t’nail in fire, chuck it in puddle and take turns rollin’ in the warmth of first bath for yonks.
