    28 actually.
    Been to some unhealthy dumps in my time but whilst crouching (no kneeling clean trousers) looking at a machine today I noticed a maggot pupae on the worktop amongst all the other filth ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
    how do they live like that.

    Re: Dirty Gertie from no 30

    I had one a few months back. A call where the inlet hose was leaking. House was a bit of a $h!tholยฃ but I carried on regardless. The weird thing was the hose was leaking in the middle, not at either end. Anyway, I changed over the hose & as I was testing it, the man of the house, an African gentleman, asked what was the cause of the leak. I pointed out the problem. He looked & calmly announced:

    “Oh, that’ll be the rat.” ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

    Oh thats ok then. For a moment I was worried it might be something serious. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

    T0$$ยฃr$!

    Chap said “thats always happening” ๐Ÿ˜

    Had a call a few months ago to a top of the range Siemens F/F, huge M/C in a house full of Somali`s.

    Under warranty with a compressor rogered. :rolls:

    Too many cock roaches for me, had to ring office to refuse repair as they don`t pay me for those conditions.

    Had to return after Social Services (Who supplied appliance) arranged for pest removal.

    Pest removal though didn`t do a good job though, the pests where still there, but at least the roaches had gone.

    What I don`t get is why if you`ve left a third world s99 hole do they still live as if there still there.

    I guess the third world is a crap hole cos they like it. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

    Well Incontinenta Buttocks didn’t turn as bad as was expected,second job of the day after calling on “the Queens Champion” ( a retired lt colonel whose family are responsible for protecting the honour of the Queen,an absolute gent!)was to the festering residue which had been fermenting for 3 days 8O.
    Again great folks so no problem in the end.
