Oh how i wish i had taken a pic but i was surrounded by concerned punters and it seemed inappropriate.
Went to job the other day "boiler has fallen off wall". Im expecting a Red Adair special. Go upstairs, open cupboard. It was a fairly new build property. In cupboard is built up wooden stillage with a base about 3 ft off floor. Sitting on it at a slightly jaunty angle is a large unvented cylinder. On the floor is the expansion vessel for said cylinder. It had been affixed to the plasterboard wall by its puny bracket about 6ft up. The considerable weight of it could never have been supported by plasterboard and it had dropped,clipping the front edge of the stillage and smashing the horizontal wooden support at the front of the stillage. The bomb had hit the floor with its braided hose at full stretch and ready to rip off. The front wooden rail of the stillage had a large crack in it and had all but broken causing the cylinder to tip forward.
Punter said had phoned landlord but not answering....walked away.
