I find some of the stuff posted on there interesting. Yeah, I'm a sad person, I know.

There was one thread about the backing coming away from the carpet. Jeeeez. What a problem.

The biggest problem I had in 2014 was some old biddy moaning about how I scared her cat.

The hard floor section also sometimes has some good arguments with mud slinging.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Amusing when some windy wants to offer this service as an add on. Rock up with a VAX or Rug Doctor and get lucky for a few quid. Never realizing the pit falls of what can go wrong, and what their insurance will cover. It's a fantastic earning service, as long as nothing goes wrong.

My wife runs a carpet and upholstery biz, and I just provide the labour. That's enough for me thanks.  ;)
No still don't understand, I must be thick

This one is cracking  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D



Had 4 calls last night, unbelievable 1 was to rearrange a time for today. You see she still had shopping to do, could I go around about 4 this afternoon, sorry no  I said
Why not she asked,  well because I said I only fitted you in this morning as a favour, and also the match is on this afternoon, She then tells me I should get my prioritys right, pardon I said, she said watching the match instead of working. Starting to get annoyed now, as Atlantis is starting.
I said, even if I didn't want to watch the match, I simply can't do the job tomorrow afternoon.
Why she asked, because you live a 100 yards from the ground,, I simply can't park the van, I said it was pushing it parking outside  yours at 9 am, oh she said you won't be able to park outside mine, why not you have a parking permit, I have she said but I rent it out on match days, How was I supposed to do the job then? I asked, she said thought you could drop your gear off and park somewhere else.
I'm counting to ten at this point about to slam the phone down when she said OK can you come on Monday about 6, no I said I'm booked up till Christmas Eve, how about Tues after 6, no what part of I'm fully booked up till Christmas Eve don't you understand she then said...
Well I'll have to phone someone else then seen as you've let me down.  Shocked

I hung up and slamed my phone down so hard I cracked the screen.  Cry
