bless them they know best!:25:
about 6 months ago i got a call from a couple of old dears wanting to swap their electric cooker for a gas one. when i called round they were calling the electric cooker blind, load of crap etc.
it was only 3 months old delivered and installed by john lewis so cost a bit then?. anyway after installing the new gas cooker they were going on about how beautiful it was and the real deal compared to the electric one. they asked me to dispose of it for them which i agreed (straight onto fleabay for £120 lol):smartass2:. whilst i was there, they asked if i could check the gas fire coals were right, they needed a little adjustment so i did that, got paid and left.
stay with me on this!!
anyway, gets a call so went to do a job for them today.
since my last visit, they had a new gas fire installed from a fireplace shop (a 7.2kw) some 3 weeks ago. their room is 12' x 9' with a 6' k2 rad directly opposite the fire with the sofa in-between!. the old lady is giving it the 'what a load o crap' chuntering while her husband says he fell asleep with the fire on and the wife put the fire on then went out for an hour or two, it was slowly cooking his legs, so it has to go! its too hot they say..he now has cream for the burns!..:sosp:
so, i am there putting in a nice remote control 1.5kw electric fire for them. after i had finished they said how beautiful it is and perfect from that stupid thing it had replaced blah blah blah..
the old guy now tells me (stay with it) how crap the GAS COOKER is and what a filthy waste of space it is!! can we call you to swap it for the ELECTRIC one when it comes as they have just ordered it?..:mad2:
as a jobs a job an all that, i said sure no problem just call me when it comes and i will do it for you, no problem. so there i was driving up the road chuckling to myself, that was 3pm this afternoon.:rofl:.
7pm, the phone rings....wait for it.lol.
4 hours....
this fire you put in!, its crap, cant get any heat out of it its freezing in here? i asked them if the radiator was on and she told me that was no good as its dry heat!, can you take it out and can my husband come with you to b&q so he can pick a gas fire up and can you put it in for us?????:rofl::mad2::mad2:
no, i have not made this up:sosp:
