Referred to now as an opportunity to imbibe the magical experience of subterranean infiltration of aqueous hydration.
If only it was but what these people fail to realise is that none of us have spare full days or even a couple of spare full days to just pop over and renew a boiler in December. That’s if we could even buy the boiler. Because of the silicone chip shortages some are still taking a week to ten days to arrive. Let’s be honest before I posted this if I’d asked any of you when do you think would be a heating engineers busiest months I bet most of you would have said dec-apr. All of the jobs I listed would have been simple none emergency jobs in the summer with a bit of planning. But the Christmas nutters don’t think like you and me.
Good old Valour heater ...make sure it's Esso blue you use . It will still stink like a garden shed mind .
We used to have them in our bedrooms over winter. Don’t think they left on overnight cos we’re all still here. . The bedroom were warm as toast though…. Until the morning Made men of us though
It's just bad luck that both boilers have failed in the run up to Christmas, a month either side and you'd have booked them in like any other job? In contrast, I needed to take a load of kit back to Screwfix in Berko a week ago and asked what was the best time/day to avoid holding up the queue. The lad said any day after 3pm is fine, he reckoned builders and trades are winding down by the start of December???
that’s the point. They haven’t just failed. One of them has been leaking for fourteen months!! So yes if she had called at any point other than December they could as you say have been booked in like any other job. that’s why she’s a Christmas nutter
