Oddities
We had a few odd moments this week. The first was a frantic call from an old lady asking if we could attend to her emergency. She had over filled her freezer and now couldn’t close the freezer door. As a result the freezer was defrosting, water was on the floor.. so she rang a plumber. It took about half an hour to persuade her that A) we couldn’t get to her today, and B) she really ought to just try taking some food out of the freezer.
The second oddity was when I was fitting a toilet pan. It was a foreign import, so instead of coming with a fixing kit, it came with a “fixation kit”. I haven’t been able to put it down since!

What happened with the old lady then,did you manage to persuade her to give up some of her food.
That is quite the odd call. I’m just beginning my career in plumbing as an apprentice and I’ve already gone on some odd calls myself. There’s nothing like getting a call in the middle of the night from someone who thinks we as plumbers have a magical wrench in our tool boxes. I actually went out on a call about six months ago where a woman called us for http://www.abandrplumbing.com>emergency plumbing services and told us that she had accidentally spilled her glass of water on her TV. She wanted us to come out and make sure the TV was still going to work. Craziness is more common that people think.
Jajjaaj I laugh so much when i read the first moment!
