|If not stolen, certainly dodgy

Just had a phone call from a work colleague, who has just been offered a load of stihl chainsaws by an irishman from the back of a Mercedes vito or sprinter van, he said they were either brand new or almost new, and he could have them for £60 to £70 each. It was marked up as a hire van, but sadly didn't get a reg number or anything else, (muppet). The guy pulled onto the site near mildenhall suffolk and said he was heading towards Norwich (A11).

Begorra!

Dere onto uz.

PS

Cheap Chinese copies,

I was shocked a decent known to me (but 85 year old) farmer locally bought one, he even attempted to get me to buy one too:lol:

Bloke in our village bought 2, utter shite with cracked fuel tanks brand new!

 

They were Stihl copies, but didn't actually say Stihl on them.

 

The silver-tongued leprechaun told him they'd been 'de-badged'.

 

Anyone buying stuff like this deserves everything they get.

Came into our yard today my bussiness partner sent him on his way !

they drive into yards, farms, anywhere with a range of excuses like "im only turning around sir" or "any scrap sir"

then a few weeks later you start to miss the odd item, even been known to take a plough and trailer.

no come backs its easy money, makes you wonder why everyone dont do it for a living:sneaky2:

 

They must take a lot of sleeping tablets thats all I can think of:confused1:

Senior Managment finds they dont like "dawgs" specially not a couple of 45kg Bastard Mastiff /Staffie(with just a hint of Pit-bull) crosses, a good job they got such abortions of tails or they would easily reveal their essentially sweet nature.

Though her has said that they instinctively bristle at the white van types.

[Lorn Logs]

My English Mastiff can smell a ***** van at 100m.....and goes mental. Not a pretty sight.

[oldwoodcutter]

well i will be sleeping with 1 ear open in case the little tinker comes back again.

Unfortunately its that time of year, even THEY go Christmas shopping. Beware the full moon, low crops and hard frosts.
