aah ok! that would be that then pettylad..I mean mattylad.. The difference between all the businesses you have mentioned (well for starters they employ thousands of people who need a wage at the end of the month to support their families) and our hypothetical "KEV and SON TREV" establishmetn...

I have no doubt that the keen use of the word ******* will allow the same people who have shut the earlier thread to do the same to this one. You can rule the world if you have the right excuse. please be a little more inventive and offer an explanation in the form that this has nothing to...

Hello SOFTUS! I couldnt put a post on the earlier thread (please help me CORGI) that I started because someone locked the post despite the fact that it proved to be rather popular reading. Perhaps it raised some issues that some people would rather see "lost" amongst all the bumf? I was...

fellas..fellas.. no need for such heated exchanges... surely its not such an emotive issue. 1st of all it wasnt just 400...the quotes ranged from 400 to 850.... hence the issue has arisen in the first place... how come such disparity presented itself?? Something's rotten in Denmark...

but for the 77th time... no gas work has taken place... I have not delved into doing any gas pipe work..nor do I intend to. as far a landlord thing is concerned.. understandably so.. imagine what precedent that would set if he was allowed to get away with it??.. ok we are in a capitalist...

Not communism.. try socialism... Unless I am mistaken every election is won or lost on either side of political spectrum on socialist agenda.. education... NHS..public services.. crime suppression or control... care for needy and elderly (when was the last time that proposed tax cuts won...

I was too busy phoning around! :-) Anyhow interesting arguments developed.. Also to whoever.. I havent done any gas work..for the Nth time... AtoZ seems to be on my side.... so now you lot are ganging up on him.. it really is a shame that some people have resisted an opportunity for...

and please could you not keep getting the facts conveniently wrong... no gas pipe work has taken place.. just water pipes... and all I have done is hang the boiler in position... all connections have yet to be done... 3 amp fuse isolator switch is in place as well as the flexi cable...

Fellas.. thank you for words of support and also all the valid criticisms.. I am not complaining about paying... I am complaining about lack of transparency and all the "delboy" business that seems to be the norm.. Also just paying the price doesnt seem to guarantee anything in terms of...

Look guys..for me being happy is a state of being... not a condition that depends on the way daily chores get done or the way problem gets solved.. So I remain happy.. think of it in terms of how I feel every day when I look at myself in the mirror.. I dont understand why are you taking...

of course! I have no problem with paying a fair price... it would be grossly unfair of me not to.. if the fault is mine why would I mistreat a person who is trying to accommodate me?? in another house...if the boiler is being replaced what is to say the existing pipework is any good...

That wouldnt be fair on you now would it SOOEY! Thanks all the same. CORGIGROUCH.. Excellent assesment opf the things at large.. I agree with all of that.. I also dont doubt that there is money in the system somewhere... With some people earning 350 min per day there has got to be...

SOOEY.. Fair play mate. Perfectly timed and impeccably delivered.. You can come and do my boiler just name your price :D :D :D :D :D

You are not quoting me so I can not see how is it relevant in any way ..I am a postman... in response to earlier postings re extra managerial activities and book balancing... why dont you pay an accountant to do that for you?? Would it be something to do with ..why pay someone to do...

SKYPE is not free the way I use it. It is fairly priced for international calls... and I am happy to pay my hard earned cash to SKYPE on regular basis.. prefer them to BT any day!

So many voices but I have yet to hear something new.. You (bar a couple of you) are still circulating the same old attitudes of protectionism at the time when a little courage for blatant honesty is called for.. Additionally you could look at this as a little bit of feedback (Some...

also CORGIGROUCH.. my hat goes off to you for helping this man out when perhaps he didnt deserve it... Sounds like you are fair and pragmatic individual which happen to be on the receiving end of a challenging situation here... Thank you all for your input time and effort.

powell.. thats fair and thats all I wanted from a professional.. the rest of you are just making silly arguments and name calling.. I dont need or want people to agree with me but if you are fair.. then you could admit that 850 is wide off the mark.. as far as illegal stuff and the...

namsag.. all those can be offset against the tax bill (youve heard of those I am sure.. I am also sure youve heard of adjusting the books too).. so in my book that is another perk.. the nurse just asks for the same fairy to pop in and clean up the mess after your sick child or your...

sorry that was a response to nemsag.. not the last response.. the boiler is a 24i greenstar junior...new and under warranty anyway.. the fittings are pushfit and can be tested.. financially unatractive it may be but thats life... I am not going into debt to make it more financially...
