The lad that turned up to service my gas boiler this year looked like he had not started shaving yet. The lad the year before found a leak that three of the manufacturers own engineers had missed on previous visits.
Some of the younger guys are as keen as doing the most professional task they can I have found. Some older boys have been cowboys, especially the Brexit voting Saffar immigrant I had the misfortune of doing my gas boiler servicing back in Norfolk a few years ago. Gash..
