I was wary straight away. It was good he rang - dont get me wrong. But he said his name was Giles. Something not right when the repairman speaks with a posh Oxbridge accent and is called Giles. And another thing! It had been arranged for him to arrive 'soon after 3pm'. I was therefore expecting 5pm. But here he was at 1pm saying sorry, cock up on the time keeping front - could he call in 15 minutes. OK no problem we arent going anywhere.
Burned out valve seat was the diagnosis - Giles went straight to it. An education obviously pays. Would send quote, no probs, shake hand, gone in 15 minutes.
Mum and sister came over and joined us for a meal at the Kings Arms and coffee back at chez nous.
These are the voyages of Ken, Annie and dog Peggy. As we cruise we will try and keep the blog up-to-date - internet access permitting of course. Ceilidh is a 54ft cruiser style narrowboat. It was built by J Pinder Ltd for Black Prince hire boats in 1995.
