To expect my boiler to work

Correct!
I'm Nae sae daft as to mess with gas

Yes but are you saying you have a gas leak? Ah no, I think you are saying it is a water leak.

Heart and circulation are plumbing, orthopaedics is carpentry, psychiatry is witchcraft. Pharmacy is cooking. Neurology is electrics No it's water.
My father enjoyed plumbing in his spare time from medicine, my DH was an electrical engineer.
I also know how to lay bricks.
DD built her own house, the only trade she couldn't master was plastering.

Galen - are you talking about a gas leak on your property?
Or
Are you diagnosing what is wrong with your boiler? (in which case, well, what would you say if a plumber or gas engineer started diagnosing heart conditions?)

It's an A series, Galen. Great car, but I think Mercedes overcharge, so I'll be going somewhere else for the next service. Funnily enough, I also got a tip from the Mercedes taxi driver who dropped me off when I went to collect it, so I'll go to the one he recommended next time.

What model have you? Mines the old B class. That included £66 for brake something that he insisted needed replacing every 2 years! If that is so, why isn't it included in the set service charge?
I'm going to try the Weston super mare garage next time instead of the Cribbs causeway one. A mercedes taxi driver told me they are more reasonable!

Galen my recent Mercedes service and MOT (no work needed) was £499, the swines!! I think I have paid for their fancy showroom to be refurbished!

He's just been. My diagnosis was right! It's the pump. He hopes to get a new one for tomorrow! He's also going to give me a guesstimate for repiping!

Thechapsin the area, he'll be here soon and my car will hopefully be back from its £336 service at 2000 miles and 2 years old!
Last mercedes I buy!

Oh galen not again, give me a shout if DH can give any advise

Hope all is safe with a leaking pipe - have a care there!

Hope DD is not too sick - very hard to cope with if she also has a job and another little one. I have always thought that this is an extraordinary design fault - what survival purpose does endless puking serve I wonder?

Remember, you've been there, done that - she'll cope!! It's early days yet though as you say.

Very early days yet. Not til October. She's being very sick poor girl but still struggling on with teaching and little one!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooh! Poor you- not again? Hope the corgi man does his stuff, but this is seriously unfunny. for you
But on the side, I had missed that your DD is having another baby! When is (s)he due? Congratulations to the doting DG!!
