The gas boiler in your mobile is gone, you've no water and can't wash. You call local handyman Lar, he says; '..no bother, I'll be with ya first of the week..' You go home ten days later filthier than a Parisien tramp.

Posh English

The gas boiler in your mobile residence is wholly defunct, affording no water for ablutions. Upon summoning the local handyman Lar, he remarks that he shall attend to it at some indeterminate juncture early in the week. You return home ten days later, rather more filthy than a Parisian vagrant.
