Been having an intermittent problem with my boiler. Although self
installed, Viessmann have been very helpful and looked at it under
warranty. The engineer reckoned it was a software funny - as he'd seen
it before on other boilers but not all of this type. It shows a sensor
as being at fault, but a reset gets it going again. Usually happens
first thing when it changes over from heating the water to the house.
This was last Monday - and he apologised for not having the correct
parts with him but would call again when he had. Which was this
morning - he phoned at about 11.00. Explained to him I usually had to
go out between 11.30 and 12.30 due to resident's only parking then - I
have two cars but only one pass. But thought I had a vistor's pass so
it would be ok. If I hadn't I would sit in my car with the bonnet up
'till he was finished. But did find that single visitors pass I had
left. Never even thought about him...

And of course he got a ticket. It never even occurred to me. Would he
have to pay for that himself? I'm feeling so guilty about it as he was
such a nice bloke.

What kind of money are you talking?

I'd imagine 20-25 quid or so. About 70 if you don't pay it quite promptly.
It really is a pain as there isn't and never has been a problem with
parking here during the day. It's too far from a station for commuters to
want to use - about 10 mins to the tube. There really should be some form
of waiver for genuine tradesmen just doing their job.
