stupid boiler

[abendgules]

Apparently the fan is busted.
But this being England, there's no hope of getting it fixed today.
Nooo, course not.
Engineer has to go away, find the part, come back the next day.
Thankfully we have a friend who can house-sit for the day, saving either Robert or me the task of staying home waiting on an engineer, every householder's favourite pastime.
The only consolation is that it's not something we could have fixed ourselves; it was beyond our small reservoir of Knowledge About How Things Work, and did require a specialist.
Nothing feels stupider than watching someone flick a switch you should have tried, to instantly restart a car/boiler/stove/power tool, and then charging you for the privilege.
The only way it could improve would be to be busted beyond repair, at which time we could get a more power-efficient replacement...

Sympahties. I just hope it wasn't my visit..... I seem to have bad boiler mojo.

Only if you whispered sweet nothings in its ear, loved it and left it, and it then moped for 3 days before packing it in...
Hopefully repair is going on as we speak.

Recently had that with the boiler, turned out to be a simple re-set job, but boy did we have to kick up a fuss to get the estate agent's handyman on the case....
