Valentine's Day
Monday morning, 7 am. Clouds rushing from West to East with some breaks in the monotony. Yesterday afternoon monotonous. I waited all morning for an 'out of hours' visit to sort the leak on the cistern/toilet which couldn't be fixed by him because the problem is the outlet rusting. He will feedback to Leeds City Council. And he couldn't fix the over flowing issue because he wasn't called out for that... So basically he put some 'tape' around the outlet pipe which has prevented a leak so far, but when I told him I'd still need to turn off the mains to stop the overflow - I am on a water meter and it's a waste of water - he didn't understand why... At least he came out ... But it's his job and I bet he gets paid loads extra to be on standby over a weekend? I find the service provided by Leeds City Council numbing. It's so hard to get a friendly voice at the end of the phone and the people who visit are sullen: it took ages to get beyond his...
