THIS STORY IS TRUE.
I do housing association repairs okay, now this was last week at work........
Now i was at the hq on an errand and see a fellow worker there. I just casually said I'm off to measure up a new dg unit for a place.
He said 'oh right, only I've heard we're getting them all re gassed now mate'
After I'd stopped laughing I demanded an explanation.
Oh apparently they're going to get a "man" to go out and drill a small hole in the pane, wash it out,regass it and bung the hole up!
I $h1t you guys not!
I've been a house builder for 35 years and never heard of that in my bloody life.
Apparently it was one of the office staff dreamt it up.
Hilarious

There are people out there advertising such a process to sort out failed d/g units!

I had a guy knocked at my door advising me that it was government policy that all windows over 8 years old had to be replaced with triple glazing.
I literally laughed in his face, and he skulked off.

No one wants to earn an honest living these days.
All scamming cretins.
Anyone had the recorded phone call "THERE'S A WARRANT FOR YOUR ARRREST FROM INLAND REVENUE please call this number"
It makes me so angry

Something I get nowadays, and have for a couple of years, is calls from 0843 or 0845 numbers, that ring once then stop. Foolishly I called back once wondering what it was, and got a message "you have just missed a call, to dial back press 1 " etc etc.
Now I get the tvvats ringing every 2-3 days..... different end number every time, obviously a fake generated number, but I still block every one.

Re: Double glazed window effing idiots
I had several Inland Revenue calls & hung up on 3 of them. The 4th caught me on a bad day - so I pressed 1 to speak to my ‘case handler’. Not surprisingly, a ‘gent’ with a thick Indian accent answered & launched into his spiel. I interrupted him & launched into my own tirade calling him a black c**t & before I could blast him with any more - the ignorant sod hung up on me!
I’ve not had any more calls since.

@ ghoulie.
What a bloody cheek he had hanging up on you man!
No manners anymore do they eh?
I love getting the ones asking me if I've had an accident.
I always reply with yes I just had a big one in my underpants.
They hang up.
