About the BBQ ( trying to be lighthearted )

I'd clean it.

If I wanted to use it I would clean it - otherwise I would let the owners know it hadn't been cleaned. (Didn't they check after the last people left?)

Same her, I would clean if I wanted to use it, but if not wanting to use it I would let the owners know it was not left clean for us.

Well he’s now cleaning it with a great deal of banging, clattering and harrumphing. I agree the cleaner should have checked but didn’t want the next people to be faced with it. Yes I know that’s a bit soft of me.

Oh heavens - more banging from the kitchen. I’m going to regret this?

I agree suzie 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. I would let the letting agent know it wasn't clean when you arrived and suggest they check in the future.

He is now practically polishing it within an inch of its life - oh my?

I am pretending to be engaging with a serious discussion on prorogation

Any minute now he will at least change his top or go for a shower

After all his hard work perhaps you could join him in the shower

Beckett ??

I'd leave it. (This has happened to us on more that one holiday let; never a problem because we can't be bothered to use a barbecue.)

He is now cleaning the kitchen floor as dirty water from cleaning the BBQ spilled on it ( probably because he was splashing so furiously) I’m clearly in serious trouble - no amount of joint showering will,put that right I fear. Well it’s after noon so I’m getting the wine out

??

I don’t think our barbecue was cleaned properly last time we used it (about 2 years ago). Could you ask your DH to pop round before he has his shower, suzie?

Just PM me your address. Can you cope with slight grumpiness however Maggie?

I hope my previous remark doesn't cause this thread to be deleted for being a bit suggestive

Only if some prudish GNer reports you, you little minx

That isn’t suggestive Beckett just a good eco idea.?
For suggestive ideas you should visit The Argy Bargy Bar, we would welcome you. ?

Suzie I would have let the owners of the let know, they should have checked the bbq was very clean for you.

Having said that, unless it’s really grotty the heat will clean it up and sterilize it for you without washing! ???

Only slight grumpiness, Suzie? It’d be a blessed relief round here today!

Suzie, hang on, are you saying he took only 35 minutes to clean that BBQ? The man's a treasure!

Yes Gaunt and I think he’s enjoying feeling virtuous now

On our last holiday the owners said, don't clean the BBQ, we will clean it outside!
