Dirty fecking gas man

Ew! I would never dream of doing that in anybodys house! That is rank.

Dirty skiddy runt!!

You're going to complain? What are you going to say? ?

I agree with you though, the dirty little stinker.

How grim?

I'm going to tell them exactly what the dirty little sod did to my bathroom. Hopefully then British Gas will be motivated to run common courtesy classes for their engineers. Honestly, I really can't understand the mentality of some people.

Sorry but ?

I can understand why you're annoyed, it's very annoying, I know because my H seems incapable of using a toilet brush, it must be even worse when it's a strangers skiddies lol!

Eugh, that's grim.

I hope you have bleach, lots of it!

That is truly skanky.

Do people actually have toilet brushes in their house ?

I feel your pain. I'm still traumatised by what the Ocado man did in my bathroom.

I'm afraid I do. I got rid of it at one point but it's either that or getting my rubber gloves on and I know which I prefer.

You really make me laugh! Of course people have toilet brushes, how else do they clean the loo?

WSunS.

We do buy the 39p ones from Ikea and change them often though.

Ewww! I think I'd probably be sick if it had happened to me.

With a cloth! I dont have a toilet brush, I think they are evil things.

I'd like to recommend these to you:

I have emailed this to the complains department:

Dear Sirs

I feel somewhat embarrassed to have to complain about the standards of personal hygiene of one of your engineers but I do this in the spirit of public service to prevent distress and upset to those of a more sensitive disposition than myself.

Your polite young gas engineer carried out a perfectly adequate service of my boiler this afternoon. In this regard I have no complaints. During the inspection the gentleman in question asked to use my toilet. Being a gracious host how could I refuse? Sadly my efforts at hospitality were grievously abused when I later tried to use the toilet myself only to be confronted by what I can only euphemistically refer to as 'human waste' covering the bowl of my hitherto spotless toilet.

One would assume that those even with the most basic of educations would have spotted the toilet brush by the side of the toilet, which would normally be used to clear up after oneself should such unpleasantness occur. Unfortunately the engineer in question did not possess such social graces and I was left to clean up the mess myself.

I realise it is possible to overreact to such an unpleasant incident and therefore I would not expect British Gas to include a half day seminar on basic toilet cleaning on your engineers' initial training course. Perhaps a softer approach may be used in this case and the gentleman's manager might have a word in his ear about how to act properly as a house guest?

I look forward to hearing your response and perhaps you could consider some form of refund to cover the additional cleaning costs this week?

Yours faithfully

Silas Greenback

I scrub it with a cloth to, when I clean the bathroom but if we didn't have a brush I wouldn't be able to teach the kids (and husband) to clean up after themselves. Like MrSM we dispose of ours quite regularly.

I've had one of those cleaning thingies with the disposable heads. The plastic bit of the handle still goes into the toilet though and you need a really firm grip on the end to get the disposable bit to stay on and if you have some caked on poo it's hard to scrub hard with them

Yep - ours seems to have a standard screw that takes new brushes. It sits fully sealed in a stainless steel cylinder with some bleach in the bottom. It's a necessary evil when you have a close coupled toilet and the rear of the bowl is in the firing line.

Sorry baron, I agree you had to complain but I'm ?at:

Hitherto spotless toilet. ?

? ?

I get on fine with mine. I'll never go back to the loo brush. (Unless they stop making these, then I'll have a rethink...)

I have never left 'skids' on my toilet, nor has anyone else ever done so in my toilet.

If ever there are marks in my loo I put bleach in it.

I think toilet brushes ming ?

I use these at the studio. The plastic bit does go in the water, but it doesn't touch the actual toilet. Have to admit I have never had caked on poo tos crub at

Anything to get a discount eh Baron lol!

Ewww! Loving the letter though!

I was thinking about leaving that out then I could just imagine Nick posting along the lines of 'well that was a bloody waste of time, you need to specify what you want!' ?

I find the idea of using a loo brush sans breach or anything a bit grim, and not many people keep bleach in their bathrooms for the use of house guests. The idea of just smearing the poo into the bristles of the loo brush makes me feel a bit ill too.

Realistically, though, I suspect a pooey loo brush (or cloth, or sticking ones hand into the loo to clean it, assuming one washes hands afterwards) is the least of our problems, germ-wise.

Did you seriously send that letter, BGB? ?

Oh yes I did Soph (although purely to see how BG would handle such a bizarre complaint ?)

By pinning the letter on the wall, and having a laugh about the mad customer?
