Thursday Morning Bitch. My Boiler Needs Servicing.

Boiler scheduled for service today.

Something has come up, so I cannot guarantee anyone to be here 'all day'.

So I call and try to pin down a time, I don't want to have them arrive as we are leaving.

The lassie answering the line says I have to call them back at 9.30, as she is just the 'emergency line'.

Can you pass on a message?

"No, they don't let me because I have to keep this line open."

"It is the same number, can't you pass it on to them at 9.30?"

"No, I am not allowed to."

"Fine, cancel it. I am going to change to another service."

"If you want to cancel it, you will need to call back at 9.30."

Jesus wept.

I can never get hold of these people, and that has torn it.

What the lassie obviously does not know is that this is one a large number of rental properties, and my aunt will gladly switch to another servicing arrangement for all as she has had a number of problems with these jokers.

Cheapest is not always cheapest.

People may slate us, but try British gas, 8-12,10-14, or 12-18

That will be Scottish Gas here I guess. Will recommend. Thanks. I never had a bad experience with British Gas or Scottish Gas, always excellent service.

like you say, 'you get what you pay for'

good luck fella

Fixed that for you.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

No one is sweating.

My aunt got a call back from the boss, apologising and basically arse licking his way back into contention.

We are a small community here, word of mouth means a lot.

Stupidity in dealing with customers costs a lot.

and what happens when one of the boilers drops dead in the middle on winter?

I am guessing it will be a Scottish Gas engineer attending. Will mull over it with her over Sunday lunch.
