Re: Beko concrete bolts sheared off. How extract from plasti
Brilliant. Have to take my hat off to that guy. Maybe I would consider something similar if we didn’t have so many 1 in 7’s around here.

I bet you’re one o’ those who goes along the High Street with your windows wide open and that lot at full volume 😡 . Now at least I know it’s not intentional but just a faulty electronic module. 😐

The fault is intermittent. Therefore the most likely things are a connection or a dry joint. I know it’s time consuming but sometimes you just have to get in there and look at evrything. Sorry to state the obvious.

Oh no, come on, just how much further can we go with this? 🙄
Second thoughts, don’t answer that. 🙄

Chris.Thanks Chris, that looks super for when I move house.
Actually though I don’t have a problem with bulk. Most of what I need is inside my skull. (Although there are times when it seems a bit gunked up in there) 😉

Hi EFS,
I think you’ve missed my point. I LIKE fresh air.
😉 Mike.Re: Am I haunted?
In Switzerland they don’t put springs in mattresses because they reckon it can disturb your sleep and even give you headaches. (They’ve thought this for many decades already). Considering the tiny electrical impulses which make up our brain activity(well, at least in my case) maybe they’re right.

Oh is that all.
“Nothing exceptional.” Phuh, you can say that again!

Most awkward thing I’ve had to do on the bike so far is transport a complete Indesit inner drum w. spider 2 miles including through town centre. Couple of bungee cords held it very well to my rear carrier above my tool bags. Thinking I might get my bike signwritten to take advantage of advertising potential.
I have on a couple of occasions used a taxi (charged to customer) to transport a complete drum assy when too little space to work on customer’s premises.
I reckon every mile I cycle saves me 25p on vehicle expenses not to mention the saving in not having a garage. I also get fresh air and exercise which other people pay a gym subscription for. Recent cold weather and heavy rain has tested my resolve but I just don’t feel inclined to give up my economic freedom from the car and oil industries. (A freedom I have enjoyed for three and a half years now).:wink:

If that is what happened then why should the customer make it so difficult for an engineer to check it out? If he’s a cabbie it shouldn’t be that difficult for him to arrange an hour or two off work.
I’m sure the whole thing could be sorted out amicably without recourse to law if people were allowed to discuss it face to face. IMO the cabbie’s real reason for refusing access is because he’s just trying it on.

(IMO)False premise, Martin. If that were the case there would be no need for programmes such as “Watchdog” and “Rogue Traders.” Instead we would have programmes like “Rogue Customers” and “Mouser.” 🙂
Maybe UKW should start up a fund using subscriptions towards fighting cases like these.(Although Squadman’s PLI should help him fight it. 💡 Squadman give them a ring and sound them out? ).
Mike.Re: Compensation Issue
Sounds to me like Squadman has a perfectly good reputation and has no need to worry about one shifty sort of customer who probably has a certain reputation of his own!
Something vaguely similar happened to me once. I’m sure I never lost any business through it. If a customer’s unreasonable with you it’s likely his friends know him for that.
Mike.
