Re: Early Morning Engineering Works!

To answer your question, l work in Law enforcement, and work with the Vulnerable people of society.

I deal with the vulnerable each day of my working life. And l get calls each day about problems in my area. And l deal with it swiftly.

And the one thing that annoys me I when you get engineers who work at silly hours and wake people up. And when people complain. They just keep working.

And the company you complain to, don't reply - VM - nothing unusual

Re: Early Morning Engineering Works!

Perhaps when people like you complain and no notice is taken and the engineers keep working is because they have to get it fixed and also they are just doing a job they are paid for.

Actually if Arthur could mention exactly where this was I could find out what was going on easily enough.

Re: Early Morning Engineering Works!

I returned home from a weekend away once to find Welsh Water and their contractors digging a ruddy big hole outside my house. Turns out the whole village's water supply was off because of a mains burst. They started digging at 11pm and were done sometime in the early hours.

I just parked me car a bit further down the road and let them get on with it. There was no other choice, and I'd hate to be the one to deny my entire village a mains water supply because I'd object to a bit of digging.

Re: Early Morning Engineering Works!

I have just seen this article. It was in Greenford approx. two weeks ago. And the strange thing is. I haven't heard from VM on this matter either.

Despite my phone calls to the Exec Office.

UNLESS, its a real emergency. Then work should stop at a reasonable time. We are talking about 2am in the morning and it lasted several hours.

I will check this again tomorrow. I am glad someone reminded me

Re: Early Morning Engineering Works!

Why would you hear from VM? They have better things to do.

Well it must have been an emergency then that couldn't be done during the day.

Honestly Arthur get over yourself it wasn't even in your neighbourhood and you expect a national company to justify themselves to you sounds like delusion of grandeur to be honest.

OMG Arthur, why don't you ask VM about all the work they are doing that is not in your area. I can provide you with a list for Warrington if that helps
