hi

 

i work for a local authority on the tree gang and today we were working in wall heath on a slip road next to a petrol station.

 

we were having a cupa in the truck(rude to refuse when your offered 1 lol) and someone started shouting from the petrol station over the road at us, at first we just ignored them thinking it was someone winging about us having a break being council workers and all that.

 

But they kept shouting sounding like cross with jedward and cartman from south park, didn't have a clue what they were saying but then spotted they were wearing husky braces with there jeans! and was in a bule transit pick up.

 

They then pulled of the forecourt doing the were watching you gesture( pointing at there eyes and at us) and we started laughing thinking there were taking the piss. Then they puled there truck into the road we were working in and came over to us shouting this is our area and were working on there patch lol there were only 2 of them so we wasn't intimidated at all by them. but just amassed at the cheek of them as were were in a fully sign written local authority truck etc. i said to him were the council tree gang and these are our trees? he said oh thats ok then he's running all the tree surgeon out of Kingswinford & Wall Heath as thats his patch lol

 

we then started having fun with them asking them what company they were etc, then them said a company that i know off and threes no chance of them being any part of it, so i started dropping names and they drove off

 

when they were driving off i noticed all there kit on the back a 260, back pack blower and a long handled hedge cutter all brand new and shiny. nice for some lol

 

just a shame people are dumb enough to get them to do there trees etc as its just encouraging them and there no way you can complete with them

 

Thanks Simon

Har har har...

I got this even in France in 2005.

I used to put up flyers with wee tear off strips for phone numbers.

I'd drive faaazzzands of kms during a day visiting supermarkets, bars etc

I'd just popped into a supermarket, placed a flyer and went to buy a sarny.

As I left I saw a dumpy old cow (Brit cow) tearing down my flyer AND pinching the drawning pins!

When I challenged her she went all red and blustered 'but this is our area, the last thing we need is competition...'

Eh? free market and all...
