Some clients! Grrrrrr!

TCD, i can just see the photos of you and your employees being very similar to the victorian estate workers photos you see in country pubs , the ones where you can tell how senior the bloke is by what he's wearing: the land agent in his tweed breeks and stockings and tweed jacket and a derby, the head gardener in his best suit and a bowler with watchchain across the front of his waistcoat right down to the bothy boy in his collarless shirt and waistcoat and clogs. I can also see you tugging your forelock to the customer when they come to check on the work.

 

You got it in one mate. Here's some pics old and new of our team hard at work... All etiquette maintained of course.

You haven't lived !

 

Last week we had buscuits with the first cuppa, currant toast with the second cuppa and then choccy buiscuits with the third.

 

...and she didn't ask for extras...

 

But the only downside is that's why I need to lose a stone

Haha fantastic, you know you're getting quality with that team. Though I really think a proper cup of tea on a saucer would set the picture more, maybe you should reconsider.

Dash it! John Hancock I think is the picture manipulation man on here - please add some fine bone china with dainty print to the second picture.

I'd have handed the biscuits back, and said I don't want to spoil the children in case they get used to it!

Me and another lad used to manufacter, sell and fit Kitchens. We had the obligatory van, a renault 21 car, a porsche on lease hire and a rolls royce on lease hire.

 

On the odd occasion you would just get a customer that would moan about absolutely everything and make rediculous requests and complaints.

 

Once we had one one where we fitted the worktop with the normal overhang, she came home and decided she wanted the doors flush with the edge of the worktop so we scrapped the first one and refit it again flush. She decided she didn't like that so wanted to go back to the original.

 

You know the type, talked down to us as lowly fitters etc. So my mate rings me and tells me there's some snagging to do at this womans house, she rung saying a door wasn't quite lined up.

 

So I got my kit and went in the roller and my mate pulls up in the porsche, the look on her face I will never forget as long as I live, pure class.
