brixtonbroodI want a new fridge. Old fridge is horrid and frumpy, freezer compartment insufficiently big, little plastic bits broken, keeps icing up, freezes carrots, has no autodefrost, unfashionable manufacturer.
Old fridge has now started freezing eggs - hurrah, is now definitively broken, can ring John Lewis and say "give me new Bosch which will fit dimensions xyz".
However, struck by evil pangs of green conscience and dropped into local electrical supplies/repair shop unaccountably left in Clapham High St from late 1960's.
Can you fix fridge thermostat?
No [hurrah, have salved conscience], but Sanjay the Fridge man did Dave's fridge and he did a really good job - here's his number.
I lost the first Postit for blatantly Freudian reasons, but returned to ask for it again. Sanjay Who Knows About Fridges said that he would come around the next evening, and it would cost 55 quid.
He has now been, dissembled and reassembled the fridge, taken his cheque and gone.
I have a clean green conscience and I am at least two hundred quid up on the deal. Am I happy? Am I bobbins.
The only thing that will cheer me up is spending a token proportion of the money saved on something that will be fun, extravagant, ethically correct, and take up no space at all - suggestions gratefully received - but I suspect it's going to go on a B&B in the Lake District on the way to and from Worldcon.
