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
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.

Hangings too good for 'em, inconsiderate old hags!

Old folk... should have been shot at birth

[Steve Chapman]

I cant believe that  -  that is sad 


I get really grumpy if I dont get tea and biscuits 

I think its a carpets cleaners right to expect it, hope this isnt a start of a nationwide trend

Whatever you do people .................don't grow old. I made that horrendous mistake and have been suffering the consequences for the past few years.

You arrive at a job first thing they offer is a cup of tea or coffee

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

[M.Acorn]

I have had customers make themselves a cup,while I was filling buckets,and didn't even offer    But today I got t and blue ribban biscuits 

[Carpet Dawg]

I dont take anything at a customers house

[Bob McWilliam]

I'll drink as many as they'll make.

[John Milnes]

I'v gone from everyone in the house making coffee for themselves except me (and being ignored) to the comparison of.....

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!

[Carpet Dawg]

Is it just me that doesn't take any coffee etc from the customer?

If they gave me more Monster that would be a different story" 

[AshWhite]

I don't either, I find I'm too hot just doing the work - and like you I'm all caffeine'd up before I begin!
