Latest moan from you and me - 2016

The leak by us was done by two men and two vans, within half an hour they were gone, not sure if one man dug and filled the hole and other repair the pipe or not, but they got on with it

Good for you, it's nice to have helpfull people about

Don't mess with Shiney

 

Good job this leak didn't happen they weekend of your open day @shiney or else there would have been quiet a jam so to speak

Saw on the Internet the other evening that the street where I used to live is in a right mess due to there being some sort of leak in the area and Anglian Water had opened up the hydrant on my old next door neighbours grass verge and the water was pumping out by the gallon.Good job they are not on water meters as he would have been hopping mad at the waste

 

He should be hopping mad at the waste regardless of whether he's metered or not: waste is waste!! Someone *will* pay for it ... oh wait ... yup, the annual rate will go up - for everyone

 

Hi @"M" evidently Mr Kandy says that when the water companies do any work on pipe work underground then when they have finished they have to flush all the pipes through to stop any kind of contamination.We went over to our allotment on Monday morning and the road men were busy laying Tarmac over where the holes had been filled in on the road and I assume the grass verge outside my old neighbours house will eventually get back to normal once the water has dripped down into the London clay

By the way,my old neighbour went onto a meter when they first came out as he was living on his own at the time.For the six weeks our house was empty so his sister told me later,her brother climbed over the back garden fence between our two houses and plugged his hose pipe into our outside tap which he used for watering his garden and washing his car so it will serve him right if he does have to pay more money in the future.I think they call it Karma

 

Call centres
Had to speak (well not speak) to too companys about things, well, got through and the person on the other end said " sorry can hear you if you leave your name and phone number we'll phone you back" then hung up, twice, the other company just cut us off with in seconds, thinking it's our phone playing up we rang some one else and asked can you hear us ok, "yes no problem" so we can assume that the companys didn't want to speak to us :rasp:

 

If they couldn't hear you ...


.... how could they hear you leave your name and number so they could call you back?

 

They didn't want to speek, but not to worry we kmew some one high up and they got it sorted and and a word with the call centre

 

You have a direct line to God?

 

Like i've said before "There's more than one way to skin a cat"

No harm to cats in the saying

 

I am woman: hear me ...
