A very cold winter in quarters at St Eval, gas boiler breaks down over the weekend. Contact SDO who authorised Duty Engineer to be called out. Wow thinks me, the system works! About 20 minutes later man in overalls pitches up, looks over boiler. “Mmmm” he ponders for a while and then admits he can’t do anything “why” I ask. “ Because I’m a carpenter!” “Outstanding “ says I “what happens now”. “I’ll call out a gas engineer” sounds reasonable I think. Another 20 minutes and second chap arrives, ponders over boiler.......”sorry, I can’t do anything” de ja vu sets in “because......?” I ask. “ it’s an electrical fault mate”. Needless to say it didn’t get fixed over the weekend. Ankle snappers issued with extra thick jumpers and thermals, memsab speechless......
