Talk About Morose.

[Tilly2]

I have just had my washing machine fixed by the most miserable, monosyllabic, unsmiling British Gas engineer. Mr T reckons that he was shy!

[klazomaniac]

That's a Bold statement Tilly, Maybe he just had a load on his mind !

[Hazlinny]

Guy who comes to fix the TV is the same - have decided he has Moebius syndrome! On the other hand, maybe he is thinking "not that woman again"!

[Zacs-Master]

A gas washing machine. Fairly unusual.

[Tilly2]

Well, that might have been the case, Klaz. I gave up in the end and went outside. When he'd finished, I asked what the problem was. 'Heating element,' was the reply.
Not a bold statement but my perception of his manner.

[Captain2]

Have a heart, Tilly. The guy probably suffers from wash-day blues every working day. :0))

[klazomaniac]

I think you missed my (pathetic) Double pun ;-)
I should have put a different spin on it :-)

[Tilly2]

He was a Homecare engineer, Zac. They multi-task.

[Zacs-Master]

Tilly is programmed to avoid such sillyness.

[Zacs-Master]

;-)

[klazomaniac]

Very true Capt', I bet somedays he feels that he's just going round and round in circles ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

Must be draining.

[klazomaniac]

LOL 14:48 :-)

[Tilly2]

Fairynuff, Klaz.
Capt. I do have a heart but he chose to spend twenty minutes of his life watching my full washing machine do a rinse and spin. He could have had a cup of tea and a chat but he decline.

[Tilly2]

It all came out in the wash.

[Tilly2]

Haz, you need a new tele!

[Peter Pedant]

so the visit was a - -- wash-out ? haw haw haw

[Peter Pedant]

My one said: these are never worth fixing

[Tilly2]

Mine's not a cheap one, PP.

[anneasquith]

He goes in/out many homes all day, maybe he is a shy laddie who is not a fan of inane chit chat .
Did he do a good job,?because that’s all that matters .

[barry1010]

He is at work, not at a social function. I very much dislike having workmen (or women) in my home and leave them to get on with it.
