Still no plumbers
I stayed in all day Tuesday and all day Wednesday in case the very expensive 'next-day plumber' whom I contacted on Monday would ring back as agreed. He didn't.
And surprisingly enough the one who told me quite honestly on Monday that he couldn't possibly fit me in until Thursday, when he was 'working in the area' and would ring me then to say if he could come, hasn't telephoned either, and didn't answer his phone when I tried to ring him. I hate trying to use the telephone anyway, so this is a form of slow drawn-out torture -- waiting for something I dislike which may or may not eventually happen (while all the while water drips from underneath my sink).
What do they get out of playing hard to get and misleading their customers? They don't get paid, for a start.
Of course we're now into Easter, and it's a waste of time even trying to contact anybody else...
