Bodily waste continued

So, the insurance we had to cover our drains is turning out to be a right pain in the backside. Off went the solitary lad at about 10am to fill up his tank, and no one has been seen since. Washing-up is accumulating in the kitchen, toilets are desperately in need of flushing, there have been no showers or baths for 2 days now and we still have an odourous pool of effluent outside the back door. We phoned at 3pm and they promised that 2 outside engineers would be here by 5pm, deja vue, I remember them saying that yesterday. Reading our policy I have discovered that if the house is uninhabitable they have to pay to put us up in an hotel, 5pm will see me invoking that benefit. I consider that if I can’t wash or attend to other necessary bodily functions then that makes a place uninhabitable. Am I right?

I reckon that you are! Did you invoke that benefit?

Flighty – We didn’t have to as they did arrive and they did clear it!
