The gasman cometh

A couple of months ago I thought we should start to prepare for Christmas by treating ourselves to having the oven cleaned.

So the oven cleaner person visited and in a matter of moments had turned our grungy oven into an 'as good as new' oven. Until we tried to use the grill. It used to work, it didn't now. And we were desperate for bacon sandwiches.

So the oven cleaner person returned and said 'ahhh, you need a new thingamybob but you'll need the cooker installer person for that'.

So we got the new thingamybob online, got it delivered and then found the cooker installer person. We probably could have bought a brand new cooker by now.

So anyway we got the cooker installer person 'round and after a few toooshs he said 'I can't do that, the hose isn't long enough'. You need the gasman.

So we got the gas man around with a longer hose and as he leant over the cooker, he set himself on fire. After I had put him out, he was obviously so 'put out' that he asked to check our gas meter.

So I explained this involved pulling up the carpet, then the floorboards as the meter was underground and don't worry, I'll find the mirror... Why a mirror? The meter can only be read by descending the mirror underground and reading the numbers with the mirror then re-arrange the figures as they are back to front and upside down. And had been this way since before we moved in 24 years ago.

So then the gasman announced the set up was totally illegal but surprise, surprise he could fix it and it would only take two hours and he could just fit us in before Christmas. The barbeque was looking like a cheaper alternative and we'd waited months for those bacon sandwiches.

So with our longer hose installed and the new thingamybob installed by the cooker installer thingamybob person we had it sorted.

So everything's done now and it all works, only problem is the oven now needs cleaning...
