Today's cartoon is an idle comment on the waiting, waiting, waiting for repair blokes in this particular neck of the woods. Keilor was a semi-rural 'fringe' suburb of greater Melbourne when we first came here in 1972. But today, it must almost qualify as an 'outer-inner' 'burb since the 'fringe' has sprawled at least 20 kilometres further westward during the past 40 odd years.
One thing remains constant tho'. Whenever you require on-site routine repair work on any kind of appliance, it generally still takes weeks to get someone to attend. I wonder if this reflects 'down-sizing' in the forces of qualified maintenance staff ... or perhaps, that they all now live in the 'fringe' suburbs and are reluctant to trek back into the central districts to perform tradie work?
