Many months ago you visited the answer to your ermm hygiene problem.
Hampstead ponds for a swim-yes it’s free ( it was 50 years ago ) swim with the fish and ducks at happy Hampstead.
Ducks-Birds?- on second thought visit Diane’s water fun trough at Hyde Park and slip-over.

We're spending most of next week in London...guess I'll know who I'm sitting next to on the train

We've suffered our fair share of water problems. Around here, the people that maintain our place just turn the water off with no warning. And they've done that twice for entire weekends. Then, we've had our entire shower unit ripped out twice in less than 10 days because the original contractors made such a cock up of it that water was leaking through the walls into the bedroom, and tiles were falling out. I stank for those 10 days as I refused to go out in the freezing cold to go and have a shower. We don't have a bath you see.

I need to confess to 6 train journeys and 7 bus rides during today - my deepest apologies.

So I am fairly sure its not Croydon as I think you would have used a tram as well.

Have you no friends in London who can lend you a bath?

Friends in London? Still working on that...

*has idea*
I know, I know... if the problem doesn't resolve tomorrow as planned, get your readers who live near E3 to offer you use of their facilities. They could then apply for a Blue Plaque: "Diamond Geezer bathed here."

Of course, if you'd done something about telling the letting agent the boiler had problems before it broke down completely (you'd exect me to say that, of course, so I'm saying it just so you're not diappointed ) Just thinking... aren't landlords legally required to have boilers serviced annually? Or is it just the carbon monoxide detectors that have to be checked annually? If so, why hasn't the problem been noted/sorted before?

Application for Bathing Blue Plaque here (well thought, that Witch). DG, I have a feeling from some of your posts you'd probably only have to cross the road..........

Methinks Anonymous lives somewhere in where I used to, once, a long time ago, for a few months, as a student

Good news: bloke came to fix boiler today.
Bad news: boiler still doesn't work.
Good news: nobody at work has refused to sit next to me yet.

I trust you have requested a compensatory reduction in your rent?

On second thoughts, replace 'have' with 'will'

Gosh, my claim to fame - I live near, even if one is erstwhile, not one, but TWO respected bloggers! BW, I'm within spitting distance of Bow Church.

DG very kindly helped out with a traditional sweetie question I had last year when in desperate need of buttered brazils for an ex-pat auntie - I'm not a rabid stalker, honest!

DG, my bath is yours, should you need it.

Anonymous - email me privately and tell me where you live...
(PS I won't be round, I'm just intrigued!)
