A tad too far to travel?
« on: March 25, 2010, 10:20:31 pm »
Ive just received an email, requesting a quotation to clean carpets in the living room, dining room, office and bedroom.

Fine, I think to myself, but where does this customer live?  Then I look at the address details:

Forth Worth
Texas
USA

I've  had a couple of enquiries from Frankfurt Germany.
I was racking my brains trying to work that one out until it dawned on me that I put a 'joke' line on my website that said, Milan, Rome, Frankfurt but mostly Basingstoke.
Clearly the google machine picked up on the Frankfurt word when they did a search. I've dropped that line since ;D
