Title: The end of civilisation as we know it
Post by: fenman on September 20, 2011, 03:32:41 pm: Did a job today for a little old lady in a sheltered bungalow.
As always it was rammed with furniture and nick knacks but she was a nice old lady and I don`t mind moving stuff for them.
SHOCK HORROR she did not make me a cup of tea :o
Normally they force feed you tea and biscuits every 10 minutes but not even a sniff today.
As I do not mind cold tea I often let it sit and take a slurp now and again but this worries them and they always offer to make a " fresh " cup.
A nice little old lady not making tea, what is this country coming to. ;D

I prefer mine when I have lost a bit of sweat

I do find that the younger ones ie what used to be called yuppies do not offer anything

Going to Marbury hall in Cheshire...tea and buscuits served at 9.45. Dinner served at 12.45....dining room shutters opened for me to look at the village whilst my dinner served on a tray by the lady herself (used to be the high sheriff of Cheshire) an awe inspiring woman....I wish she were my mother! ;D
