LOL oh you gas engineers are so easily riled. Firstly yes i did manage your so called simple task even though ive never looked at a boiler in my life, i only posted on here BEFORE actually fully trying the task. And if youre so glib about me managing on my lonesome why is it all the engineers on here are telling me to get someone qualified...oh yes because you gas safe or corgis fellas like to throw around your certificates don't you, telling anyone unqualified that they SIMPLY can't do the job...hehehe.
Secondly it ended up being very simple, in fact as a microsoft certified hardware engineer i can safely say that this job was far more simple than any laptop ressemble i've ever done. But lets face it, not only do you guys want to throw in a mark up of 37% on a part thats clearly available to anyone on the net you'd probably take 4 hours to do it. Lets see, if i hadn't done it myself (in 30 mins by the way) and called a plumber round here's what i'd get.
9am plumber arrives.
1.30pm tells me he's changed the fan but it was a bitch to do so he's now gone into his 5th hour, at £35 an hour. What he's actually done is spend 4 hours thinking of some extra part that he specially has to order (this doesn't exist by the way, he's made it up.) He then goes away comes back with a twix and a cup of tea , pretends to fit the part and then charges a further £200 on top of the £145 and the 375 labour...nice job fella.
oh and as your so smart herebriefly, lets swap jobs, i'll change a micron fan (piece of **** by the way), you change a laptop hard drive....to which the reply from you would obviously be "duh whats a hard drive? i have to make it gas safe you know"
yeah, only one person here thrown his dolly out LOL, did you wet your pants in anger giving your reply herebriefly, cos thats how it seems?
