Been reading the comments and app it was a gang related argument that got out of hand.
No civil war situation, that’ll be in November.

Utter Michael Fabricants especially as gas is as low as 2018 at the moment.

They are complete Michael Fabricants. I’ll never use them again - they condemned our boiler and gas fire during winter with a 3 month old baby, then put loads of pressure on me to over pay for a new boiler install.
Got it down to a normal price eventually (we just didn’t have what they were asking for in savings at the time 🤬) and I later on found out it was likely there was fuck all wrong with the boiler and nothing wrong with the gas fire….criminal.

About 10 years ago they gave me a quote for a new boiler, 2 plumbers quoted around £2500, British Gas quoted me 7 grand and wanted to run a load of hot copper pipes down the side of the stairs and along ceilings.
Complete morons

I think they started at about £7k. In hindsight I wish I’d told them to get the fuck out. Can’t remember how much I paid in the end but it was about half the initial quote. Real Fabricantery.

Seriously though, we’re fucked. That will become the norm.
Edit, to quote internet Twitter man:
-£23.7m from adult social care
-£51.5m from children’s services
-£6.2m from housing
-£39.2m from city operations
Sounds great 😵💫

Makes me wonder if people will just move out of the area, not that it should ever come to that.
