Stuff of Nightmares, DT. Gness I thought you might be able to recommend a boiler fix-it man.....

How far do I have to travel from sout heast coast until I can see a red squirrel.
I'm sure we used to get a red squirrel in our garden when I was growing up.
That would have been the late 60's.

A live and functioning one Sib?

[DTCwordfan]

I believe the answer to that, cupid, is now the Southern Uplands - however, the grey is now being invaded by the black squirrel.......

[gness]

Sib's boiler or Dave's dead mouse, Shoota?

[Psybbo]

Preferably and able. On second thoughts maybe not a good idea

Hey what about my electrician!?????

[Psybbo]

Got my lovely man, he's coming tomorrow, it'll cost me copious cups of tea and listening to more facts that even mrs_o could provide but we will have heat!

your electrician/heating man and a Whitby fisher and marigold woman, a "relationship made in heaven"
