I've had all sorts of complaints from customers but one today takes the buscuit, I fitted new toilet guts to her toilet, new fill valve and new type push button syphon, All was ok, i got a phone call tonight about a funny noise so i went round to see what she meant, I'm there flushing and waiting, flushing and waiting,,nothing, So i said it was probably something else and just as we are talking she says ,,,,listen there it is again, So I'm listening, she says, can you hear it,,,,I'm listening all i can hear is a plane going overhead, I said, is that it, pointing up to the sky. she looked and said,,well they never came this way till you fixed the toilet,  |

You should've said you'll phone Air Traffic Control directly Tom & charged her £120 for the 'Aircraft diversion fee'.

I had a feeling she was a nutter as i was doing the job in the first place, she was telling me stories of other jobs she'd had done and all the problems she'd had afterwards, So when i went back I was expecting something unconected with the toilet, those new toilet fillers are quiet, in some cases you might get a shut off
'thud' because of water pressure and thats easily sorted by turning down the ball o fix that feeds it, but nothing like she was decribing, Poor old begger needs medical help, smiley-confused002asak2

I couldn't hear anything or find anything and what the old gal said didn't make any sense. A couple of hours later the gaffer contacted me saying the noise was back and could I go back. I arrived back on the street but didn't go straight to the bungalow instead I rang the gaffer first to ring the old gal and ask if the noise was still on knowing that I could now be at the property in seconds. The noise was still going whoosh whoosh she told the gaffer, but when I arrived 30 sec after there was no noise, of course. Turns out the poor old gal was suffering with tinnitus! All in the run of a plumbers day I suppose, yet these type of jobs can be a real pain to sort out; plumbers work goes way beyond plumbing repair jobs! Loved the toilet and the airplane story tom |

I reckon she fancies you Tom & just wants you to keep popping back. Next it'll be the dripping tap!
