I'm waiting on the repair man to fix the dishwasher, it wasn't working and now it has more wrong with it because bawheid came.
Apparently people plead on the phone not to send him, I'll know in future.
We once had a gas boiler installed and serviced by British gas.
It was a disaster from the start. Almost every time it broke down, which was often, they would send this incompetent idiot who made it worse. One time it just needed a service, he ended up breaking something, we were warned not to turn the heating on till a part could be ordered, which would take 10 days to come, the time delay was because it was Christmastime, it was freezing and snowing...he left us with no heating or hot water.
Needless to say that was the last time he was ever allowed in the house.
The next one they sent broke the hot water tap off in the bathroom....he came down with the tap in his hand, said it must have been loose. We had to buy a new tap. British gas took no responsibility, said it could have happened at any time....odd that it never had before.
We now have a different boiler, bought from and serviced from a company that doesn't seem to employ cowboys.

Next Homeware. We purchased two couches to the tune of £2K. The bunch of scousers who delivered it said it wouldn't go through the door even though the old couches we had which were larger did. They took it back. We had to apply for a refund and reorder different sizes that were actually larger but could be split in two for delivery. They had the wrong fucking cushions. So we rang up Next and asked if we could replace the cushions. They said yes but we will have to reorder a brand new suite. I said, "Can't you just get new cushions?" They said, "No, we have to take the old one away and it's a 7 week wait."
What a fucking palavar.

I really feel for you.
It's not only Next though. We ordered a three piece from Arighi Bianci late last year. We waited till April for delivery. Almost immediately the cushions marked where they had been sat on.
I complained, sent pics, this is when the couch was 3 weeks old. The response was, this is normal for the chenile material we had ordered,. Five months on they now look like someone has peed themselves on the cushions. We will probably get the cushions covered soon....and the origional suite cost a bloody fortune.

This man wasn't Scottish by any chance was he?
He didn't fix it and he was in the kitchen for more than an hour, gawd knows what he was doing.
The reviews for British Gas on Trust Pilot are something else, very few have had a good experience with them.

I'm not surprised their reviews are rubbish...we had the worse service we ever had from any company...and we have had some disasters in our time.

My dad was bitten by a dog today and this dog was on a lead.
Thankfully he was wearing his cords and there nice and thick, so it didn't actually break the skin.
That's two of us now, they say things come in there's, so who is next?
Anyway I have seen this woman and her dog and she complained Shorty barked at them each time they walked by the window.
Says anything again and i will point out that at least my dog doesn't bite folk.

She sounds like an idiot...dogs are allowed to bark, they are not allowed to bite.

These people should keep their dogs on a lead if they bite. If it's a child they nip or bite, the dog could be out down. They should think about that if they love their dogs!
Hope your dad is ok.

Not being able to speak to a human being and having a problem that isn't covered by the online help.
Ringing the surgery for an appointment listening to the long intro at 8:00 finding you are number 19 in the queue, hold on patiently get to number 4 and get cut off.
Ring back and find you are number 16 in the queue.
Ring your bank to get an appointment, asked why you called, asked is it about a mortgage - no - give your account number and date of birth - now your security number - don't have one as far as I know - hang up in frustration. Have to go into town to the branch to make an appointment then make another journey for that appointment - assuming I can get one, don't have a passport don't drive. What do we pay bank charges for?

I agree with a lot of that.
I gave up trying to contact my GP by phone a long time ago...it was either impossible to get through, or if I did, it was impossible to make an appointment.
I have had a full hip replacement on the NHS without seeing any GP, as far as I know they have no knowledge of it, or if they do they haven't acknowledged it.
If you don't have a passport or a driving licence, I wonder how you show proof of who you are at banks and the like?
Paper utility bills seem to be a thing of the past, bus passes are not valid identification....sometimes the internet has made things even more difficult.

I need a shitload of documents for my OC meeting.
Just look at this!
Fuck Westminster University - how racist - but it's ok to do it against white people.
I want a Covid pass in writing. Telephoned the appropriate number, automated voice asks loads of questions, after many hours (or so it seemed) listening to crackling music, just as I am losing the will to live, at last, a human voice asks me if they can help, before I can answer....I get cut off.

I'm sick to death of all the bleeding heart self pitying platitudes coming from menopausal women. All the hand wringing and tearful....."I...I...sorry, I can't speak..." shite.
It's a natural bodily process all women have to go through. It's not a disease. Some get it tougher than others. So fucking what. Grow some and move on.
