Customer hangs up the phone!

[Tommy_B]

More than likely it's not their tree. But, If you want to be cynical, and in light of reading Charlieh's Thread. You never know if they were just ringing up to see if you were in.....

Ha ha yep had some strange callers. Get alot of old ladies expecting me to work for 8 pound an hour like there gardeners you can imagine the polite response that gets.

 

£8 per hour? is that the going gardening rate?

i charge £17 per hour

[Jason James Gairn]

£8 an hour doesn't get a gardener. Just a care in the community bod who can mow lawns, rake leaves and pull weeds.

Tree cutting is very noisy. It could be that it was a work place where any noise would be a disturbance, A school or nursery maybe. Run by a care in the community bod.

[Amelanchier]

And nothing really. I'm just bored!

 

I guess I should add the question

 

"has anyone got any ideas why someone would do that?" But I don't care really.

 

Tree in question just blew down taking out the phone line???

[Mark Bolam]

No way. What really happened was

[Frank]

Husband loves the tree, Wife hates it. Wife was ringing to get a quote. Husband walked in. She hung up. After she has sorted out the fact she isnt having an affair, and he goes back out, she will ring again. (He plays golf on saturdays.)

 

 

Simple.

Sammy Knuckles Watson did a bank job 20 years ago. He was the youngest of the crew at a sprightly 60 at the time. The gang have all popped off this mortal coil for some time now. Trouble is, the money was stashed inside the cavity of a large tree outside a police station. Until recently it was 24 hours a day manned. But due to recent cut backs, the station is only manned during the week.

Sammy didn't stash the cash himself, it was put there by Errol the black butcher of Barking. Who as we know is very much brown bread.

Sammy got the job as the cleaner at the station. Biding his time. Recently diagnosed with primary lung cancer, Sammy now knows he only has a week to live, to get the money and have a stupid spend up. Its wearing away at his soul. He phones up a tree company. You ask to many questions. He phoned me up next and I got 100K! result.

Might send this to Guy Ritchie.

Monday = office day.

 

phone rings

 

me "Hello"

 

Customer. "Hi, I've got a tree needs cutting down, do you work saturdays?"

 

"Erm, yes, sometimes if necessary. Why does it need doing on saturday."

 

"Cos theres no one here then."

 

"Why is that important, is there......" ...customer hangs up!! I was going to ask if it was because of parking problems but didn't even get that far!

 

He sounded weird right from the start!

 

 

its phone sex rupe, you are obviously a kunninglinguist:001_tongue:

[Theocus]

On a more sinister note, do you work weekends, ie are you near your yard on the weekend so we can have a look about etc!! Could of been someone probing. I am always suspicious of calls like that.

Not trying to make you paranoid!

[White Noise]

Sounds like he wants you to work on a tree with a TPO on it . Saturday no Council Office open crafty blighter. Did he withhold his number ?
