The three chaps who manifestly aren't fixing the gas leak outside my house for the past three months are reading their papers in the van. One of them theoretically operates the digger, one of them sometimes gets into the hole and then gets out, but the third chap's function is puzzling. He occasionally eats a cake and every now and again gets the ginger one in a headlock.


Frequently they all talk on their phones and sometimes a fourth one arrives and they all stare into the hole and smoke cigarettes.


Sometimes I think I should invite them in. It must be cold out there.

As they are not currently orbiting the planet, that would suggest said gas leak has been fixed...

that'll be me - steve has met me and knows my name


Mayeb these workmen are slackers but I can't imagine any company being that badly managed they could get away with that for so long. It's probably not just tardiness butthey may be dependant on people off-site as well


But if they are slacking, that's why I wondered whatthe response of the company in question was

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
