That's called rubbing it in.

It'll come back and bite you in the backside, mark my words.

German engineering my Asp!
We had our boiler and gas fire looked at. The gas fire stopped working a while ago and it looks like a control unit has failed! The cost of replacement seems as though it is uneconomic!
Our gas boiler has developed a problem . Both so called German engineered!

yes, but where were the units produced?

It's too early to be awake. 😔

Good morning. Late start today: it's "bicycle day" at work, where our clients bring their bikes for us to have a look at and check over. Because they can't carry bikes on trains before nine (without paying extra anyway) we're starting at 10:00, instead of 08:30. My colleague is taking advantage of this to cycle to my apartment and we'll ride to work together. This will be interesting because my colleague is a very handy person and has built his bikes from pine and bamboo.

On the other hand, the things that we'll have to try and fix later will probably be quite horrifying...

I let it slide today but tomorrow I want to get back into my pre work routine of a 13 mile ride before breakfast.

 

[Oldhippy]

Long ride today methinks. Back at work tomorrow and want to make the most of the weather.

WH Smiths have had the policy of only touching what you intend to buy since April last year.

Well that is one way to win over customers!
I have disliked the way that some magazines have been wrapped in plastic and this will make me not go in there !

♻ Bin day, today.

What make and model?

Gazco Riva 530/670.
It stopped working a while ago. At first we thought it was the batteries in the remote controller. After replacing them we assumed it was batteries in the sensor/ control unit. Batteries replaced it makes a hissing noise , that isn't gas escaping, it is coming from the control unit . Weighing up the options and the government's policy it might be better to remove it . We don't use it that often , it was just easier to turn it on for a quick blast to take the chill off. It looked nice giving the effect of a real fire but as for reliability !

Morning.
It ain't half foggy out there! I managed to find the front of house so that I could put our garden waste bin out .
