Thanks again for looking after the place.- You're going to stay the whole time I'm away?
Yeah, it's easier than going back and forth. - Plus, it'll be nice to be closer to work.
- OK, sure.
- In that case I'd better tell you about the boiler.
- It's a bit of a pain.
- Really? What do you mean?
- Don't turn it off or change the settings.
- Why not?
- Isn't it expensive to leave it on all the time?
- Yeah it can be, but not as expensive as getting the plumber out again.
- If you change anything it resets the system and won't start again.
- What am I supposed to do if it stops?
- If you don't touch any of the settings, it should be fine.
- So, please don't touch anything.
- Ok. I'll leave it alone.
