Customers strange demands.

Bob, I seem to have the rather dubious gift of attracting all the poor, tortured souls who are looking for attention. It's my burden, but I carry it well.

I feel your pain David, if I stand in a queue I always end up next to or talking to a nutter

On the other side of the coin, I meet some really interesting ex pats out here. The bloke on Friday at Limoges was one of the most interesting. I always get the customer to inspect the first stump I've ground out to make sure he's happy with the result so far. I found him in his workshop, he asked me if I wanted to see his project. I went in and found he was building a quarter size Showman's traction engine, fantastic thing to see. It turned out that he knew a bmare of mine in Dorchester who had a full sized one and had met him 30 years ago at a show. He sent me some photos via email when I got home, but I'm buggered if I can remember how to attach them to this message.
