For those of you who are maintenance fanatics you will have been waiting for the next exciting installment. When we moved in there was a crack in the toilet seat such that it gave you a friendly little nip every time you sat down, not such great fun in what is otherwise an enjoyable activity. In October we asked the estate agent to have it fixed and after some huffing they sent someone round to take a look. They of course concluded that our slightly square-ish seat was non standard and there was nothing he could do as such designs were no longer available. Being easy going we suggested a more normal round seat would fit fine, if look a bit odd but probably better than the regular nip.
Some back and forth later the round seat concept was accepted in principle but had to be check in practice so back came the engineer. This time the problem was the spacing of the bolts to attach the seat to the toilet - after some metaphorical sucking of gums it was declared that there was nothing else for it but to replace the entire toilet.
The entire process might have been acceptable had it been completed in a week but it took a little over four months and I have missed out detailing the many communications back and forth for fear of exciting you further.
