They'll be air source heat pumps then. And the condenser coil has frozen up. And that'll be because, although your firm is paying a small fortune for maintenance, no-one's done any for donkeys years! Nice little earner that one! Ah. They’ll be air source heat pumps then. And the condenser coil has frozen up.

Or that maybe it was a British thing, like all the extra U's they put into words like Color.

That explains a great deal. When I complained of my office being a balmy 87 Fahrenheit they sulked for four days and reset the entire building to 54. When I mentioned my monitor was dead to the IT people they waited a week and plonked an ancient and massive Dell box thing on my desk. Then they went on holiday for a month.

By Wednesday, it's bearable - dresses a-go-go - and by Friday we're virtually sitting around in bikinis.

They were fine in the light stuff but as soon as it started coming down hard they would develope a mind of they're own. Once the weather dried up they would go back to working fine!

The one time there was a power cut, they immediately overloaded and shut down, plunging the site into darkness. And of course, they couldn't be restarted without - you guessed it - a supply of power.
