you never know who's house you will end up in next
« on: December 20, 2011, 11:25:01 pm »
As you may or may not know we did a Groupon promotion in Exeter and it went very well. Last Friday we went to a Groupon booked job and it turned out to be a well known sports celebrity. S**t loads of money and still uses Groupon. Well he now is having all house done every 12 months for the correct money.  Just goes to show you never know who's house you will end up in next. Just thought I would share that one.

The old "I'll have my carpets done every 12 months" line. Wait until you contact him, I bet the reply will be "I think I will leave it for now". And when it does need doing he will wait for another Groupon deal.

Is that J.R.? If so I used to look after them in St Johns Wood and then Mayfair. Lost them to Pilgrim Payne when I could not fit them in one Christmas. Nice people to work with - I regret losing them.

If you want clients like this in the first place wouldn't it be best to go after them in the first place without doing all the dross for next to no money?

It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

Or maybe he's stalking me?

We'll never know.


A big bubbly carpet cleaning van pulled outside my house once and sat for ages just looking in. He must have got my address off the net somewhere.

I do work every 6 months for a famous football manager I charge him double as he is involved with the opposition!
