in thinking that a 3 year old boiler

[outnumbered2to1]

shouldn't breakdown. Or if it does it shouldn't take more than a day to get the parts to fix it....? or am i just grumpy cos me and the boys have taken up refuge with my parents and i miss not having my telly with all my reminders set for my programmes cos my dad's telly ONLY has sport (apparently)

It should be serviced yearly and a CORGI check done on it. You would probably expect it to last longer but that's just life.

I'm sure your Pops is telling porkies and his telly doesn't only display sport. Wrestle the remote off of him.

i'm in rented Housing Association house and the boilers are serviced every 6 months. Last check was October i think. Pump, motor and seal all buggered. Utility flooded and no heating and hot water. at least two days for them to source the part and probably another 22 days before they find someone to fit it.... (grumpy) - missing emmerdale.....

Cant you take your tv round to your parents :) or watch stuff on iPlayer :)

have already run out two internet top ups on my dongle catching up with CSI New York.... and Home and Away... {saddo smiley} lol
