- 0:06Speaker 2: Good morning morning. Somebody's having a terrible morning. His name
- 0:12Speaker 2: is Anton.
- 0:13Speaker 3: And I understand what Anton's going through because even me,
- 0:16Speaker 3: this has happened to me twice twice, not once.
- 0:21Speaker 2: But twice.
- 0:22Speaker 4: A guys, over easter, I just started to top up
- 0:26Speaker 4: my swimming pool and I forgot to switch off the
- 0:29Speaker 4: hose pipe.
- 0:31Speaker 5: Long story short.
- 0:32Speaker 4: We went to Plankoiba for the long weekend and we
- 0:35Speaker 4: got back to a flood at yard. The water counters
- 0:39Speaker 4: arrived now and it's over twenty grand that I old
- 0:43Speaker 4: the municipality now and I was hoping that you guys
- 0:47Speaker 4: could help me by that perhaps.
- 0:50Speaker 5: Thank you. It's Anton from Salton.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Hello, the Anton from Sliverton. This has happened. I didn't forget.
- 0:58Speaker 5: I was going to say the hostpipe.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Remember my old house.
- 1:01Speaker 3: In lown Hill with the water pool, just come in
- 1:04Speaker 3: it will be twenty thousand, and then there was like
- 1:06Speaker 3: a leak, whatever the hell underneath.
- 1:09Speaker 2: The pool all of that stuff.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Twice, yeah, you had that problem. There was some kind
- 1:14Speaker 1: of a leak that couldn't find it. But every now
- 1:16Speaker 1: and again, just this twenty grand water it can't arrive.
- 1:18Speaker 3: And then they like, no, you must pay it, and
- 1:20Speaker 3: then go explain to the water people, to joe Burg Water,
- 1:23Speaker 3: and I.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Was like, no, I can't pay it. I don't have
- 1:25Speaker 2: it right now.
- 1:27Speaker 6: If anyone sent me a twenty thousand men both for water,
- 1:29Speaker 6: I would all electricity. I would probably collapse.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Ahha. This leads me to my next story.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Forget my water problems, because that was the fault on
- 1:37Speaker 3: its own. There is nothing in the world I hate
- 1:41Speaker 3: more than underfloor heating.
- 1:43Speaker 5: Oh but it's glorious, it's so nice.
- 1:45Speaker 2: No.
- 1:45Speaker 3: No, And then what underflow heating is. You never put
- 1:48Speaker 3: it in yourself. You buy a house and it just
- 1:51Speaker 3: happens to be there, and then you.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Just like this.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Whoever this person was, they must have they.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Were in their rich years when they got.
- 1:57Speaker 3: The underfloor heating, right, because underfloor heating make a mistake and.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Keep it on.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild No, it's wildly expensive.
- 2:06Speaker 2: That's why.
- 2:07Speaker 1: That's why so few people put it in. Because it
- 2:08Speaker 1: used to be a thing like long ago. Why and
- 2:10Speaker 1: then because it's so nice and winter socks, but it's
- 2:14Speaker 1: so so expensive. Yeah, it's one of those you know,
- 2:16Speaker 1: like when when you look at a Ferrari drive by.
- 2:20Speaker 1: If you have to question what a tire costs, you
- 2:22Speaker 1: can't afford it. Yes, and underfloor heating is like that.
- 2:24Speaker 1: If you've got to say, I wonder what it's going
- 2:26Speaker 1: to cost to run this per month, you can't afford it.
- 2:28Speaker 7: Me.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I'm the one questioning how much it costs.
- 2:30Speaker 6: I was going to say, I'm so cheap. I'm running
- 2:32Speaker 6: a little fan heat from clicks in the corner.
- 2:36Speaker 3: And that's why I don't understand the whole underfloor heating hype,
- 2:40Speaker 3: because there are.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Other things that warm up.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Your house just as well at a fraction of the price.
- 2:46Speaker 3: So I don't it gets hitter. Oh, my friend, guess
- 2:49Speaker 3: from Macro nine under.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Run depends on how big your house is. I suppose.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Imagine under floor heating on your entire I once left
- 3:01Speaker 3: my underfloor heating on because an electrician came and I
- 3:05Speaker 3: the first thing I do is for I moving to
- 3:06Speaker 3: house underfloor heating, I go to the mint switch.
- 3:11Speaker 2: So wait, how long have you forgot? Had you left
- 3:13Speaker 2: it on a weekend? Oh? Absolutely, I'm still paying it off.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Oh one one eight thirty eight nine four seven?

- 3:27Speaker 1: done this. I've done this. Luckily I didn't reach ten
- 3:30Speaker 1: thousand rand levels, but I went over season. I didn't
- 3:34Speaker 1: switch off roaming on my phone.

- 4:20Speaker 1: know you can't.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Just you it's all on you.
