I was on a job for a chap last year with my brother and later in the day my bro came jogging over to me looking dead shocked said to me the customer has just given me a Honda, and I said 'what, a lawn mower?!' and he said no, a 1988 honda cb350. I was like you jammy git, your on my job and you get given a bike?!

Over the years, bottles of wine, beers, a couple of old chainsaws which I got running and sold on, an Elwell axe head (blooming huge) 3/4 of a shed (one side missing) an assortment of wire strops for timber, and a set of timber chains with shorteners, oh and 2 tirfor winches with cable for each, an old pre-Echo Power Pruner that still runs like a good un, and a pole vice. Think that's it. :biggrin:

I was once given the advice to buy a raffle ticket that evening. She was an old Romany lady who claimed I looked the spitting image of her grandson. She was even more shocked when she found out my name, as her Grandson was called Richard also. She wouldn't leave it and insisted that I get a ticket as all the things were telling her...

 

I didn't win that weekend, but then again, I didn't buy a ticket!

A few days driven pheasant shooting, salmon fishing and a load of rabbit shooting. My brother who works for me got some Cuban cigars from a customer a while back. Been given loads of hand tools, jam, wine, and a kiss on the lips from a 90 year old woman, it still haunts me to this day.
