I've been a miserable so and so all day at work today because the office put me in a horrible part of birmingham :-(

I've had customers that wanted everything covered for 10 quid a month, people that kept running hot taps while I was working on the boiler (that is my pet hate)

then I got stuck in traffic on the way home, but seeing this road name made my laugh all the way home :)

A posh customer was telling me about her holiday to sandy balls the other day. I had to stop myself laughing.

So your favourite mod ringing you for a chat didn't put a smile on your face?
 
Turn the cold off at the boiler

I do it sometimes. I was working on an old ferroli and everytime she ran the tap it cut the heating off. Then I had to wait for that three minute delay to start my FGA again :-(
 
This has just cracked me up as well, where a thread title has been cut short on the central heating forum :)

One of my pet hates as well! I hate it even more when they turn the hot tap off when your gas rating!
 
you were in a horrible part of birmingham, that covers about 99% of it then. my last visit there was sparkhill what a lovely area that is!
 
I hate it when the stop tap doesn't turn off fully, so you leave the tap open down stairs. The first thing you know is waters coming through where your working.
