    I did ask the engineer about that. He said that if the gas isn't getting through properly to the boiler if causes problems (?) and the result can be picked up by the carbon monoxide detector. He didn't say how. I will ask the next guy again tomorrow.

    It does frustrate me when tradespeople don't answer questions and clearly have no desire to go into details. Which seems to be most of them.

     If I can't learn what went wrong and how to check in future I end up grinding my teeth. None of them are used to a debrief (no matter how short or informal) - which I always think is odd.

    I recently had a operation on my kidney, when the surgeon visited me on the ward he said "we will remove the catheter tomorrow but leave the drain until the next day to make sure that urine isn't leaking from the kidney repair", when I asked him "what happens if the kidney repair is leaking" he said "we will put the catheter back in", which I didn't really consider an answer to the question but as he is a surgeon I didn't push it, I'm glad to say that the operation seems to have been a great success.

    I'm glad your results are great.

    "as he is a surgeon I didn't push it"
    This is the nub of the problem.

    I am locked in kafkaesque corridors of "no sensible answers". With the doors and windows open last night and the gas off, two CO detectors went off again. Two engingeers say two opposite things. It riles me that the whole country goes through all this nonsense every day.
