Hysterical laughter
Hubby " Hi love, it's me. There's a problem." (He's on the golf course, what problem could it be? Perhaps his niblick has failed to produce the perfect shot.) " I'm at the house, the boiler has caught fire."
Me (laughs) " Has it caused much damage?"
Hubby " Bit of smoke damage, melted electrics. They phoned me on the golf course. I forgot to pick my ball up."
Me " Okay love. See you later."
Now, apparently it was lucky that the company carrying out the refurb were there, " Your house could have burned down." Was it a coincidence, I wonder, that their electrician was there 'flash' testing the electrics? Oh yes, they definitely remembered to isolate the boiler before they sent 1,000 volts through the system. British Gas will be here shortly, perhaps they can identify why a boiler, which has been working without a problem for the 3 months since the fire, suddenly developed an electrical fault sufficient to melt all the electronics.
