"Hello Mrs W, this is your neighbour. Do you know you have a leak coming from your water meter?"
"Hello, I would like to report a leaking water meter"
"blah blah blah - here is your reference and someone will attend to it within 48 hours"
"I have a reference from last week"
"Ah yes I see they came out and repaired it then"
"Well I never did see them and it is still leaking, actually it is pouring out!"
"blah blah blah - take down your reference and someone will attend to it within 48 hours"

"Well it must still be raining as it is still pouring out"

"blah blah blah - here is your reference and someone will attend to it within 48 hours. Can we confirm it is number 22?"
"No we are number 27!"
"Aahh well they have fixed number 22's water meter"

"Who is it?"
"It's the Plumber - we have come to fix the pipes"
After the job was completed it was great to hear these words
"The water leading into your house has been contaminated by dirty groundwater and it is technically not fit for domestic consumption!"

FABULOUS!

  1. Remind me to only drink tea or coffee at your house....and request that the water be boiled twice.

  2. Or WIne! And we don"t need to boil that! Luckily the water is now fixed and we are now fit for human consumption - so wonder my hair and skin were taking a pounding!
