Bloody good day thread!!

[the village idiot]

Well, that wasn't quite what I bargained for!

 

Mrs Idiot is demanding a full refund, and I'm off to scrub myself down with caustic soda.

 

The nipple tassels were splendid but please Mark, for the good of mankind, stick to the tree surgery.

No refunds I'm afraid, baby oil and elastic bands aren't cheap you know.

Happy Birthday mate!

Fair enough I suppose.

 

It was a fairly polished performance until you had to hobble off with that single red rose stuck between your cheeks!

refund and guarantees!....... You've got more chance of getting those off a company from Suffolk called 'We've been blaging people we know about drainage . Co . Uk.'

Some times it's the little things that seem to make the best impression.

 

Just got confirmation of a job.

 

Customer said he had other quotes, 1 from a local crew I know and respect (I told the customer if their quote is the preferred one, they'll get a good job from a pro crew), 1 from "a pair of Herbert's" (customer's own words) who wanted to turn up on a Sunday, bosh em over and take the wood, and my quote.

 

Turns out a well spec'd quote with 5 pages of detail & pictures is more important to this customer than a fag packet, cash & firewood Sunday job with a Mole Valley chainsaw and a Halfords trailer despite the cost being considerably higher!

 

If only these customers were more prevalent!

It wasn't an apple tree Gary - wrong time of year! It was a grass cut, light weed of borders and trim the bush!

 

5 pages of waffle with a hint of credible content (not sure that approach will pass muster next month!!)
