The annual "legal requirement" gas check was today. The appointment slot was from 8am to 10am - this of course is merely advisory, and he deigned to turn up at 10.20am. If I had been 20 minutes late for an appointment I would probably have been told to make a new one; that nicety does not apply to council workmen who can turn up when they feel like it.
He arrived swearing under his breath because I have bookshelves in my hallway. He promptly adopted the "bull in a china shop" approach and anything that was in the way of his box was knocked over. Note to self: next time there is a gas check I must empty the flat of furniture just to convenience the engineer. I am so grateful there were no ornaments lining his route, because if there had been there is a strong chance they would be ex-ornaments by now.
