we had a couple of guys round to install a smart meter a month or so back. Hadn’t considered they’d need to look at the boiler, which is of course in the bathroom, through our master suite. I yelled up to that gnome, who was upstairs getting ready, saying one of the guys was going to need to get through the room. My thinking was she was getting ready and just needed to be decent, completely not thinking about devices that may or may not but very much were still strewn across the room. An urgent “NOOOO!” came bellowing from upstairs, as that gnome scrambled to gather everything up and tidy it into sex cupboard. A, while, shall we say, later, confident that she’d been successful, I showed the chap through to the boiler, receiving some fiercely unimpressed looks from that gnome.
Thinking little more of it, I sat around while the meters were installed and the guys left. shortly after they had gone, a furious and mildly embarrassed gnome stormed downstairs hollering “I FORGOT THE STUFF TIED TO THE BEDPOSTS, YOU DICK!!!”
