Exactly why I take Leave
I've got a blocked drain. After numerous telephone calls throughout the day to Thames Water and waiting in, I have had no success in clearing it. Each person I have spoken to says something different and I have spoken to one person after another, each one coming across as incredibly dim. For a brief moment I was tempted to stick my own arm down the drain and unblock it myself.
If I conducted myself in such an incompetent manner I would feel obliged to shoot myself to save someone else the bother. Oh well the last person I spoke to, who bore the brunt of my frustration, promised faithfully that someone would fix it first thing in the morning. I am sure that when he came of the phone he had some very unflattering things to say about me. If I didn't work full time I suspect that I would very easily slip into the role of professional complainer.

You are so lucky to be off and dealing with dim drain unblockers. What a productive use of your relaxation time. BTW perhaps we should pay you to be a professional complainer given my experience of Thames Water.

Does Thames Water actually provide you with "Thames water"? Yuck! No wonder there's drain blockage going on - it's probably dead fish and bits of old boots and the like. Who knows, though - when they unblock your drain they might recover someone's mobile or wallet or camera. It could be good business to set up your own home-filtering enterprise to reclaim items that have been thrown or dropped into the river!
