Eh

You've just got to love the technical terms used there

"hello, how may I help you?"

"Yeah, hi, there's water flowing into my bath from my thingy!"

"Sir, are you drunk?"

Seriously, though, I have nothing constructive to add. We use geothermal energy to heat houses here, simply hot water running from here and there through our houses. Had the pipes explode once, though, it was absolute hell. Flooded the entire apartment in a minute, literally..

I just got home and my flat was incredibly hot and smelled a lot like burning. I checked the electric boiler and it was puffing steam out of the top. Now my flat is full of steam, water and odd brown stuff .

May sound stupid, but there's nothing poisonous in there is there? I'm sure I inhaled something

I've obviously turned it off at the mains, so should I just wait until I can call the letting agents tomorrow or is it rather more urgent? Only ever had gas boilers in my other places.

no need to soil yourself
