Next door have presumably been having problems with their water supply. And it looks like they have had the main stop cock and line to the house replaced.

 

I would like to nominate Northumbrian Water for three awards for outstanding performance.

 

Firstly, I would like to nominate them for the 'Covertly Appearing Silent Overnight Excavation' award.

 

There was no big hole in the pavement on Thursday when I got home from work and I am sure I would have noticed because I would have had to drive over it to get onto the drive.

 

But it was there first thing Good Friday when we got up! Along with a neat pile of mud next to it. We didn't hear a thing. No disruption, no loss of sleep, nothing.

 

The second nomination is for the 'Intelligent Placement of Covers and Informative Plastic Stripey Barriers When It Is Far Easier to Spoil Someones Day' award.

 

The position of said hole in the pavement would have prevented me getting my car back off the drive had Northumbrian Water not placed a nice cover over it and erected the warning barrier in such a way as to not block me in. Above and beyond the call of duty.

 

The third nomination is for the 'Uncle Albert' award.

 

Last night some 'Drunken Brain Doner' decided to helpfully steal the plastic protective cover for reasons known only to himself. They are pretty useful for coving dangerous openings in the ground but beyond that I don't see why someone would desperately have to acquire one he spots on his way home from the Pub.

 

Anyhow Cathy phoned the water board this morning to let them know that there was a small crowd of 'Injuries Direct 4 You' lawyers gathering outside trying to encourage passers by to hurl themselves 'Uncle Albert' style into opening and make a mint on a 'No win, No fee' basis.

 

A nice lady called back a couple of minutes later to advise that the big red button had been pressed and she apologised for the inconvenience caused by the stealability of the cover!

Within an hour a massive truck containing a man with a shovel pulled up. The hole was duly filled back up and the cover placed back over it to protect against the tripping hazard caused by the lack of flag stone (missing in action presumed in custody of brain doner). He even filled up a crater in the grass verge with his excess mud.

 

All on a Bank Holiday Weekend too! Lets hear it for Northumbrian Water!

Excellent service - I hope you write to them and tell them (in the same way you told us). It will make someone's day
