    Re: Whats the nicest things customers do?

    I turned up at a house just after a Muslim wedding once, and the customer was very happy when I fixed the washer there n then 🙂

    I left with (literally) bags of food. Samosas, pakora, and all kinds of unidentified meaty, deep-fried snacks 😀 😀 😀

    Hi guys 🙂

    I’ve been very busy lately, but I’ve been very quiet with the ISE. I don’t think I’ve sold any over the summer 😥

    But I’ve got an ISE 10 being installed this afternoon :tup:

    Re: WEEE

    I have two piles of paperwork.

    The first are reciepts with the customers signiture. When I print out a reciept for the new appliance, I print two copies. This reciept has a ‘weee compliance section’. The customer signs one for my first pile.

    The ‘weee compliance section’ is just a box that reads….

    “I have agreed to have my appliance taken away for recycling” and a space for the signiture. Dor, strictly speaking I think it should say…

    “I was offered free appliance take-back”

    and

    “I accepted/rejected free appliance take-back”

    The second pile of paperwork is from my scrapman. It contains, his and my address’, his waste carrier reg. number, date, and number and type of appliances removed.

    I think I’m covered if I was adduited?

    2) Find a 10 pence piece.
    3) Put a hose washer either side of the 10p and press into the nut.
    4) Fit to the end of the hot supply tap as you would fit the hot hose.
    5) Tighten, turn on and test for leaks.

    That’s exactly my method too!

    I works perfectly 😀

    What happened to the dog then? What it electrocuted? 🙁

    Re: Bearing kit for Hoover TV30 Tumble dryer

    It’s true! Those dryers suck!

    I wish there was a way to economically fix them, because I see at least one a week with the bearing and shaft goosed 🙁

    Pay peanuts, get monkey(designer)s

    Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?

    If customers give me a house-name over the phone, I always ask if there’s a number, or a number next door; because nothing makes my ****ing blood boil more than driving up and down a road trying to spot a house-name! 👿

    Especially a road in Barnoldswick! It’s about 500 yards long, detached houses both sides, probably around 80 houses, and no numbers! All names!

    Anyhoo, I did come here to tell you about what a sweet, old lady did to me yesterday. Hoover/Candy W/D, no heat on dry. I pulled it out to take the slidey top off (P45’s favourites), and I’d just crouched round the back off the machine with my 7mm to remove the back screws, and sweet, old lady has grabbed some detergent and sprayed the flithy lid. Yep, straight in my face!

    Little old man wrote:Looks like you got him then!

    Me wrote:Bleeee-arrrrrg!

    Sweet, old lady wrote:Ohhh, isn’t that funny?

    😕

    I gingerly opened my eyes, thinking “maybe it’s not strong detergent” to see that she was holding not just ‘flash’, but it was flash ‘ultimate’!

    Twasn’t very ultimate though, I still have skin and eyeballs 😀
