I would have turned up to get a service call out of her.
If it wasn't the fan I would fix and charge more.

If it was the fan - I would say the other guy was right and she will have to wait until Tuesday

I says 'you what'

She says yeah the AA for plumbing emergencies.

I says 'ok, that's £40'
She pays, I leave.

Soon as you hear " had to get someone else" interest is lost ....

That's what I'm like.

Had a phone call a few Saturday's ago at 10:30 pm I let it go to answerphone and they said "a towel rail has come off the wall I am not expecting you to come out straight away but if you could give me a call tomorrow to arrange"

I phoned the next morning at 9:30ish to be told they got someone else in on the Saturday night then proceeded to tell me what they had done and wondered if they had been charged correctly! I said is it all sorted? Yes, ok then I've got to go bye.
 
guess who rang me to day (sunday) after a week! hi its kim, my boilers gone off again do you still have that part for the boiler?

No it went back, you need to call the guy who fitted the fan back.

but he is bussy tomorrow can you call.

sorry Kim very bussy


That did make me smile
