lame plumber

had a holiday cottage company chasing me to service a nightmare oil rayburn miles away from my normal patch. So set a date, gave an estimate, asked for pics to confirm model and sent an email. Nothing back so sat watching the box sipping a beer at 8 oclock tonight, ring ring, let it go to answer phone. Had a listen to enraged holiday cottage rep or whatever for not getting back to him, so decided a quick text informing him of my displeasure at being disturbed at home of an evening for non emergency and sorry forget the service, not interested now. Just got a long email stating he was incredulous at my reaction, so popped another one back at him to prove I sent the first one did go, suggesting I was even more incredulous that someone should interrupt my evening enjoying a subtle ale.

I think I have now totally morphed into Victor Meldrew and I dont care 🙂 some customers can go ..... themselves is my new motto for 2015.

Ahhhh I thought you'd had a bad day. Can't really drink on a school night but I could do an Irish coffee?!
 
I had a cracker on Saturday. Can you come back and fix a ball valve you did in September! So I say ok Wednesday, after six she says. No! she goes on to see if I can do Easter week because she's off. I say ok, then she asks a time. I go on to tell her it's Saturday I'm out with the family and I don't carry a diary everywhere I go. My Mrs wasn't very sympathetic and called me a **** for answering the phone

Oh here he is. Captain marvel.

You wanna feckin start an all do ya?

I've had a pox of a day and had it capped by getting told I'm getting a 7am flight to Glasgow, a 2 hour drive to Loch Tay in the highlands to do a gas test and service a combat cooker, then a 2 hour drive back for an 8pm flight which means that I might be back home for 10pm.

A happy bunny is one thing I'm feckin not.....

Could be worse. You could have me sat next to you on the flight. Do you want a wake up call?

Joking aside though, I wouldn't mind that to much change of scenery and one thing a little different thrown into the mix.

must be an important client that's a lot of trouble and expense to go through

I'm charging the camera battery at the moment. So with any luck I should get a few nice shots.
