The dying art of letter writing was revived recently by yours truly...firstly I sent one to my neighbour, introducing myself and enquiring about their fence...being of an anally retentive disposition...did I mention that?...I need my fences to match!!! Despite leaving a plethora of contact details...still no response...RUDE!
My second was to the freeholders, London Quadrant, having been thoroughly patient with them and my window situation AND being told that they still had no timeframe for me....offering to temporarily repair existing windows...it was time to take matters into my own hands! To that end I wrote requesting existing drawings for the proposed windows and advise I was having them measured and possibly made by the joiner contracted for the interior doors and such.
Their response was rather terse, ending by saying...and I quote:
"We would strongly advise that you do not undertake any of the work yourself prior to receiving planning permission, as this would be in breach of planning and the conservation order."
Now...I was not planning to undertake the work myself...silly...was going to get a professional in!!!
My third and final to date was to the Heating Engineer, cataloguing his many misdemeanors, however, I gave up half way through cos I just couldn't be bothered...in fact I haven't actually spoken to him since the day I supposedly lost my warranty...he had his apprentice call me to check I was receiving all his messages...the fool...why am I surrounded by them I ask myself constantly!!!
