    I think Lofty Crouch should be skipper. They’ve got to look up to him 😀

    Re: How do you expect me to get at that ??

    I had to do a 95 bearing change in Walthamstow many years ago. Whilst in situ just like that one is.
    Luckily there was about 18 inches behind to stand……in the days before the ale took its toll on the waistline. 😉

    I wonder how many times it would throw a loverly slice right onto the floor.

    Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?

    Complete t#@@er yesterday.
    Spent ages draining his slimline AEG integrated doshwisher, then had to get it out to change the drain pump. Broken glass everywhere. Let him know the cause (ie glass and pump now red hot and noisy), and he seemed quite surprised about the glass in it.
    Got the pump in (tiny galley kitchen 👿 ) and when testing it initially found a leak. Pump out, check seal hasn’t moved, back in leak just a drip now. Thought I’d give it a function test and deal with the drip later.
    Water gets into the sump and floods everywhere. 😈
    Looked inside, removed the filter and the sump and lower arm mounting screws are missing.
    ‘Have you removed some screws’
    ‘yeah….I think I did’ and he suddenly remembers glass everywhere that he tried to remove.
    ‘Have you still got the screws?’
    ‘Err…no probably not’
    And the fault report……stopped mid wash and now won’t start.
    No screws available from Zanussi, but luckily my call out cheque will have cleared by the rebooked date.
    He asked me while I was knent down with my teeth clenched..
    ‘What do you reccomend now?’
    The urge to say don’t f**k about with stuff you don’t have the first idea about, was overwhelming 👿

    Re: Come again Charlie?

    :rolls: You do wonder what planet they come from.

    Had a similar conversation today.
    ‘Do you sell electric hobs’
    ‘No, only repairs’
    ‘how much to repair it, three rings have gone, the solid ones and it’s quite old’
    ‘Not worth repairing really, you can buy them new for under a hundred pounds’
    ‘Really, thatts good. But I was hoping someone might sell second hand ones as I don’t want to pay too much’ 😯

    Re: Servis Quartz door seal

    Ah now I know the one you mean I bought one in 1987 for £30. Thick rubber drain hose that my thick rubber flatmate forgot to put in the sink after a night on the P. The tennant two floors down complained of water flooding into his kitchen :rolls: .
    Ah the days before I took a spanner to one 😆 .

    Don’t know what the matchbox was Jim, but I seem to recall fitting the old Hoover logic round dor seal with no probs. Had a thicker outer edge to it.
