The saga continues!

Right! the stupid Hydro sent mannie no2 to come and lengthen the cables of this stupid meter that yesterday's jobs worth said he couldn't do. Today's man could not understand why yesterday' man couldn't do the job himself! Today's man put in a longer cable but couldn't find any of the other "unfixable" faults yesterday's mannie found!.
So when I came home today and poor beleaguered hubby painfully explained all this, I simply asked him "did they change the bloody meter or not" "not" he said & couldn't give me a date of when this would be done. (why can't men learn to ask relevant questions) Anyway back on the damn phone, waited, learned the words to yet more crappy pop songs, waited some more & finally got a bloke this time. I explained all the rubbish of the saga so far, said I didn't want the bloody meter fixed, I just wanted it out and being as mannie no 1 yesterday came from Oban but had left the replacement meter Im told in Lochgilphead, I did not wish to grow old waiting for them to come up with another bloody date and that my husband was an ageing pensioner who wasn't up to understanding all their crappy excuses! This chap then said he would phone back so I said "I'll be waiting" as if he cared anyhow!
Seriously what a bunch of incompetents ALL of them even hubby for not insisting when he actually had the guy in the house that he pressure them for a date of replacement! No wonder the world is in the mess its in cause it's ran by blokes!
