Got this in an email tonight…
Hi there, I’m hoping you can help me. The lights on my cooker hood have stopped working, the fan is working in all it’s settings but the lights just aren’t happening. I replaced a couple of the bulbs a couple of weeks ago so I know it’s not that.
I’m in ******, Ayrshire, and my home number is ****************. If you could contact me ASAP I’d be very grateful as I’m quire reliant on the lights especially at this time of year.
And some people didn’t believe me when I said I’d had this in the past. :rolls:
Yeah, like your cooker hood lights are the most important thing in the world and, you knew there was a problem before kicking off the week before we all shut down for the holidays.
My level of sympathy is low at best.

Re: Christmas Lunacy
My next door neighbour over the weekend.
“Can you have a look at my Microwave as the turntable judders as it goes around”
This is an AEG Combi Built-in. Bought and installed last Feb.
“How long has it been like it?”
“Oh since day one, but I want it done for Christmas!”
“Does it still work?”
“Yes but when we make our evening drink, the milk spills out of the cups”
Get this, they are not home Christmas day, out to lunch, but still NEEDS to be done.
Pensioner of course. Suppose we best cancel a call on a Range cooker with no heat to make room.
Bah humbug!

Re: Christmas Lunacy
Just had a Rangemaster with the warming zone not working, and “We need it for Christmas”
“When did it go wrong?”
“Oh nearly a Year ago, and last week the main oven kept tripping out, and now we are worried that on Christmas day the trip goes again”.
He has now gone to Rangemaster to complain that we are not prepared to pre-order & book him for before next week.

Re: Christmas Lunacy
Customer, “can you fix my washer before Christmas, it is flooding out of the bottom. It’s a Zanussi, I think the model number begins with a Z. It hasn’t been used for a while”.
Me, ” how long since it was last used”.
Customer, ” well it’s at least TEN YEARS ” :eeek:
DOH. :rolls:
Re: Christmas Lunacy
Is it just me that enjoys working Christmas eve?
I’ve had some really really good Christmas eve’s, and I’m not just talking about the money. Everybody’s broke up from work and they’re all happy. Makes for a great day imo.
