Sorry , i just assumed anyone who knew one end of a screwdriver to the other , might have had a gander at the end of an aerial lead before calling the landlord in to fix it

The LL replaced the connector on the aerial lead , nothing wrong with the cable itself as you stated as a possibility (duff cabling i think you said) , a 30 second job for anyone half handyNever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -
Right well my partner's been at work since we moved in and it's been me that's been off.
Considering that the LL had to actually leave and come back with a part, my partner wouldn't have had that piece needed anyway. I didn't think it should be our responsibility to fix this, hence my original post? Just coz your okay at DIY doesn't mean you're happy to start fiddling with fixtures that aren't ours. Had the lead been removable we would have tried different or newer leads etc.0 -
Calm down , it was just a light hearted comment
Good luck in your new home!Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -
