F-utility

Read it how you want! If we had a Frustratiometer, it would be bending the needle on the right-hand-side of the dial. Alan has borne the brunt of this, with at one point 5 different people due to call him back from the electricity board. 'Where's Gary?' appeared to be a question to which nobody at SE knew the answer, and Gary was the only person who could shine an (electric) light on proceedings. I had to despatch calming mantras from the various corners of the country I've been working in this week. However late yesterday Gary surfaced and promised to come round and see us today... #notgoingblueholdingbreath... All this had distracted us from the fact that three weeks ago we'd asked the water board to come and finally work out where they supply us water from so that they can turn off the stopcock - guaranteed to happen within 10 working days - which of course it hasn't. So we've had to chase them up too and guess what, we're waiting for a call back... Oh look, is this Godot coming up the driveway???
