Well, so it


Saeuselige voice: Good evening, this is Thames Water, my name is Janet, how can I help you? Me: Well, I suppose I am reporting a leak, coz I have not got any water. Saeuselige voice: Oh, all right, can I take you name, post code and your first line of your address please? Me: Sure, Konstantin Binder, NW .... Saeuselige voice: Mr Binder, can I take your telephone number please, just for reference. Me: Sigh, all right then, 07 .... Saeuselige voice: Mr Binder, Since When did you not have any water please? Me: Dunno 'bout to hour or so? Saeuselige voice: Did you check with your neighbors c to see if at all they've got water please? Me: Nope, have not a clue. Saeuselige Voice: All right, c let me just check your post code. Can I put you on hold for just a second? I: yeees, sure, go on. Saeuselige voice: Mr Binder, is did anywhere near the North Circular? Me: Well, yes, you guys have been trying to replace the old mains load for the three months or so I think. Saeuselige voice: OK Mr Binder, what we'll do, we'll get one of our engineers out and he wants to investigate and report back within the next four hours. Me: Sigh. Sweet, all right then, thanks. Saeuselige voice: Thank you for calling Mr. Binder.
Update: A small amount of water dares boldly out of the tap. If Bob Geldof would see the few drops, we would have here within a week, a "Water For North West London Live Aid" concert in Wembley. Including the Spice Girls, I suppose.
Update: The engineer sits probably in the pub around the corner and has the second c pint ordered. Between the first and the second went to the bathroom and has not washed his hands. Meanwhile, I have asked my neighbor, and she is also entitled to receive c a portion of the Spendenerloese from the concert.
You poor thing! I hope they fix the trouble in the near future, not that you even need a container with a pilgrimage to the nearest water pipe burst in the end! Our road they pick on just the 3rd time in 10 months ....
Well, so it's not just in the UK with the service benefits. That should even the Telekom say that like immediately announces a telephone and Internet, because c who cares because if was spotted 'in two months'? Although this is with the water already ne much trickier history. May I ask how you manage to survive it? (Although you could try to skim the rain water * lol *'s currently c enough of it yet)
Oh, that reminds me of my "Without water" experience. Day long. And we were lucky, our house only had no water, the other had no electricity after there was a burst water pipe and the water had flowed there in the E-space for the Condominium.
