Had an Lr cpt and 3pce suite to to this morning. Lady phones me at 0800 this MORNING to cancel
Excuse was that she's decided to lay a wooden floor (that old chesnut) and was sorry for inconvienence. I then asked if she still wanted her suite cleaned. She got kinda flustered and said she would call me in New Year.
Anyway I thought I would do some leafleting thru the several villages on route to my next job and it just so happened that the ladys house was in one of these villages in a little private cul-de-sac.
Anyway started leafleting in said cul-de-sac and lo and behold who was parked in her driveway but the local "Wild West cleaners" complete with old, battered steameasy and old early 90's red escort van. What really got me was that the machine was still in van but had hose extensions!!!
When I got to her house butch cassidy was pouring his dirty water down a storm drain out front!!. I bid him good morn and was about to throw a leaflet thru her opened door when she emerged from the kitchen and took it herself.
I then asked her if I could make a suggestion...... "As you've decided not to have your carpets cleaned due to the fact that you're having a wooden floor laid may I suggest real wood instead of laminate because real wood wood is a much better job, it looks better and after all you get what you pay for!!" I think she then twigged just as "Butch" was coming back from the storm drain and had noticed my nice shiny signwritten van and cobult blue shirt with embroidered breast pocket. I bid them good day and the look on their faces was damng priceless. I think it will most definately cheer me up for as long as I am on Gods earth!!
