Do we have any heating engineers on here who fancy a quick cash job in North London this weekend?

My boiler has packed up and I need someone to fit the new parts I have...

Thanks!

:no: A bloke wearing a boiler suit is, as a general rule, not an engineer.

I daresay you'll be able to find a boiler repair man to help out though, good luck. biggrin

In the interests of attracting someone of said persuasion to take the job, I thought that moment of pedantry could be deferred...

You can always spot them easily, though. They're the ones in red overalls.

hehe

Can't help you, but they are out there. Had to call my plumber this afternoon to, uhm, "adjust" some of the tinkering I'd done in the bathroom. He popped in on his way home, and didn't want paying for the 40 minutes of labour or the parts. Had to force him to take a £20 for a few drinks. Had I phoned AAAAAArdvark Plumbing from the Yellow Pages I would have been looking at a £100 callout and probably another £50 for the first hour of labour.

What difference does it make the kind of dog they have?
