Imagine the scene :-
Ray
I think I will pop into Fareham on Sunday dear, may even take the Mercedes G Wagon. I will use one of my fork lift trucks to put a new
top of the range Worcester boiler in, we have loads in stock. None of the plebs will notice. I will also put one of the Worcester cylinders in as well, rumour has it only poor people have combi boilers now dear.

Mrs S
Spiffing.

Ray
I will also claim the £100 installer cash back dear, chortle chortle.

Mrs S
COULD YOU POP IN THE GARDEN CENTRE ON THE WAY HOME DEAR ?

The end

You don't seriously think I would sully my lilly-whites on that do you?
 
i always pump up the ev when i change a prv sometimes saves a call back 2 weeks down the line when it leaks again

I sometimes release a little pressure just to prove I was right in them needing a new boiler.


I am joking !!!
 
I actually applaud Ray for "giving a little bit back" to the industry by not doing it himself. :tounge_smile:

Its only because I am too old and knackered and fat to squeeze into the space at the side of the boiler and get to the filling loop. Its bad enough if I have to top up.

Definitely a job for a younger, and less well nourished, person.

My heart always sinks when the customer opening the front door say`s "Oh I`m glad your slim" cos you know what`s coming.

Hmm. Let see.

18 year old Radiant boiler? Check!
No boiler-interlock, just relies on TRVs and timeclock? Check!
No inhibitor in it now? Check!
Rubbish filling loop? Check!
Jammed in airing cupboard with a load of old crap? Check!

So yes, pretty much from "Steptoe Direct". The rads and radvalves are new though. And the radvalves are Drayton TRV4s, not the rubbish I sell to you lot! 🙂
