How to fix an oven and start an argument
 
Not my argument.

A simple oven failure. A blown element.

All I said to the couple was "I'll fix it now if you go and fetch the part"

I then spent ages explaining where the shop was that sold the part. Both of
them looked blank until I said it was next to the Sex Shop. Then she said
"Oh, I know where that is".

Then argument started.

They still have no working oven.

Why did you not go fetch the part and charge for the service?

Or not fix an oven. Did they break the over while having sex then?

I have heard rumours that Adam is a member of a club called Ramrods.
Perhaps I should not have posted that ...

Do people not understand addresses nowadays?

"Pop down to the plumbers, 46 Barber Road"
"Where's that?"
"Barber Road, number 46."

It's her oven not his. I have no idea how she broke it. He has never used
it.

Everyone tells you how to get there. I just put the phone down on them when
they start doing that. If I want info on a address I ask.

I know where the Friend's Meeting House is. That doesn't mean I've ever

or like the old quote from Rising Damp - Philip to Alan;

"But you know where the erroneous zones are!",

"Yeah, well I know where the Himalayas are as well, but it doesn't mean
I have ever been up them!"

Why, when I search for sex shop barnsley, does Google give me Janco
toys and The RSPB in the results?

When someone wants an inspection, they'll tell me how to get there,
and how to recognise it. Problem is, our database and my sat-nav don't
recognise "just after the roundabout, the red door next to the mosque"
as a valid address.

there would be an address on those plans:-)

Ho ho! Nice one! Around here, plans are what the builders use to wipe
their arse on when they take a **** in the corner of next door's
garden.

To even get the plans, you first have to give the right address to
look them up.

Or at least, AN address: Voicemail message - "I'm doing that job in
Mumbletown, we're ready for the drains this afternoon." Never mind
that I have at least twenty jobs on the go in Mumbletown, and that the
job may not actually be IN Mumbletown, but in Thingyplace. To the
person ringing up of course, THEY only have one job in the Mumbletown
area; next week they'll be in Stupidshire for three months!

The argument started when he asked her "How do you know where it is?" and
she replied "I've been in it"


And when he started to object, she should've replied, "I was shopping
for your birthday / our anniversary / some other event," picking an
event to allow enough time to go back & actually do that.

I'm sure that whenever I've requested a BCO visit, I've had to quote the
reference number allocated to my Building Notice.
