nick in* england Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Just had my gas supply cut off because I have a leak. To make it worse it is underneath the kitchen - which means it needs completely ripping out, including the floor. Then I get told the central heating system is so old it needs to be replaced. I'm looking at a bill of over £8,000 for the work and parts. The only upside is that we'll finally have hot water - we've been showering cold for 18 months and boiling kettles to wash up. More downside - they can;t fix any of this crap for a couple of weeks - so now we have no heating, no way to cook... Man sometimes I hate that properties over here were built over 100 years ago.

At least you do have beer to fall back on.
