What will Wednesday Bring?????

In keeping with yesterdays fun, we just had one of the local Irish Tarmaccing lads in.

He asked if we had any Tarmac rakes made, which we did albeit with shorter than usual handles as we cannot get the normal length.

Cue moaning about everything to do with the Rake, which is mad by myself by hand and sells for £15....off which they make £ 1,000's (which they have admitted).

After moaning that the head wasn't straight, the bolts weren't tight enough etc.

He asks if he can borrow a pair of pliers to tighten the nuts up, i offer a set of Pincers which was all we had to hand.....

Customer: "Well fancy a hardware store having no pliers"

Me: "Well we have but they're packed and i'm not opening them to be used"

C: " For F*** sake, why not open them....mutter,mutter...."

C:" I can make these better than this, maybe i should do that eh?"

Me: *Bites Lip*

C: "Well i WAS the first person to show you how we wanted them (despite the fact we've made them for 20yr + and he would have been a kid!!!!)

ME: "I've only been making them for OVER 10yrs, i guess i wouldn't now how to make them!!!"

All the time there was a shop full of people, who because Ian was delivering Gas i had to sort out as well...as well as selling loose paraffin, which requires measuring and pouring!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DREAD TO THINK WHAT WEDNESDAY HAS IN STORE!!!!!!!!
