"Not a standard part - special order"

The first engineer looked at the boiler, said " that is older than me" and disappeared - I wonder if he will try and bill us ?

The second engineer informed me that the particular fan that failed would require to be ordered from far away..........and we should have the system back up by next weekend.

I am escorting my mum out to Tenerife on Monday and I will be back by next weekend........dwalletta is not too impressed with my timing.
