Thanks - I may be in with a chance there
Another reason for me actively seeking to move is a 'nasty' letter I got from Hyndburn Homes this week about the annual Gas Appliance Check.
When their 'checker' called recently I explained that I don't use gas anymore and he just went away. They say I refused entry (I didn't) and that they could evict me for non cooperation.
I have mailed them with an explanation and await a reply.
Why should I let them turn the meter back on and use gas to test a boiler which I don't use, thereby incurring gas cost and exposure to fumes. I am willing that they do it provided that -
the workman they send wears no perfumed products and that they choose a good weather day when I can have all my windows wide open.
My parents lived in Anchor Housing at Morecambe. The heating was operated from a boiler house, so most flats would not be exposed to any exhaust fumes from it. I recall they had an electric cooker.
Today I have flung my window open wide because the fly problem has lessened, but will have to shut it because an alottment holder has decided to have a bonfire nearby and they tend to burn old furniture (foam).
I feel like I am battling with the world today.
