Water Cooler Services

The very strange weather of the last few years has now started to form a rather interesting pattern. Very very wet seasons with localised flooding, followed by extremely hot months with no rain for weeks. We have to eventually refrain from wasting water and over consumption. When we think of really awful winters of 1947 and 192/1963 tragically terrible with blizzards throughout the USA, Canada and UK – eventually reaching Europe with devastating consequences. The months of heavy snow fall…

My word it has been jolly cold, wet and miserable of late. We were forecast a damp spring and it has lived up to that in every sense of the word. This time last year we were beginning to realise it might just be a record summer – for quite the opposite reason There wasn’t enough water to go round. The reservoirs were ok for first few weeks of the longest hottest period since records began over here. So water…

I was very happily watching an old Avengers episode the other day – one filmed btweeen 1964 and 1967, so around 1966. That in itself is not the news . . . . what I noticed in the ‘London’ headquarters of a fantastic global ‘money market’ was a water cooler bottle on a plumbed in platform. How about that! I had watched that episode hundreds of times in the last two years and never noticed that feature before. It must…

We really have had some amazingly awful weather this winter. The same as the previous one actually. It makes the job of keeping everywhere clean and tidy so much more of a challenge. Just when we think the worst of the blustery weather has departed, it comes rushing back. Not only does it batter the fences and bins etc. it rips leaves off the shrubs – they’re not supposed to shed foliage, it’s meant to be growth time. The mess…

You never know where the romantics are lurking around in a large office. There’s the ‘gods gift to women’ lethario who hangs aro und the usual meeting places . . . . near the coffee machine for example. The office water cooler is the best place for conversations and to get life’s most richly needed resource – especially in the heat of the office. So this one’s well known for his dated chat up lines and corny one liners. He’s…

Well you can do some things a little too enthusiastically at times.  Taking the office colleagues to a friend’s lunch party to celebrate another successful year in business always sounds a grand idea.  Everything starts off fine.  Pleasantries are exchanged between the guests – a bit of networking goes on as a warm up to the sit down lunch and raucous fun later.  Luckily for the guests, the hostess had brought in a professional office cleaning company – just as…

There are good times to be told by your landlord the keys are now available for your bigger office and could you please move in, like now  . . . . .  and there are some bad times to be getting that message.  This happened to a  young couple I know.  They had asked to be given first choice when the next door, more palatial suite of offices came back on to the rental books.  This one had a kitchenette,…

It feels really strange to be talking now during a very cold snap in the beginning of autumn.  We’re at the point in the year when it’s too cold to have the heat off but it can get rather stuffy if left on.   This is then the time to sort out cleaning up outside – getting the outside water supplies cleaned up and the water butts covered so they don’t freeze up.  Knowing how to look after the outside tap…

Oh my goodness have we had the strangest hot summer known to anyone in this country since records began.  Of course, they’ve had exactly the same experience over on the Europea continent, Greece, Cyprus and all the holiday hot spots.  Pun intended.  I went on a coach trip to Germany a few weeks ago.  The coach was beautifully appointed, with air conditioning, ice cold drinks for sale from the onboard fridge . . .  we also had to make several…
