Door to door sales

[Pickle]

Ever have one of those days where you wonder whether these people have an ounce of common sense?

Just had a young guy ring the doorbell.

"Hi, I'm Ashley from XXX, I'm here to sell you our stuff"

"Your stuff?"

"Yeah, we sell stuff like windows"

"Oh, OK. We don't need any windows thank you"

"We also sell garages. Do you need a garage?"

"I'd love a garage, but (indicate mid terraced house with no real space out the front) there's not really anywhere to put one"

"Have you got a back garden?"

"Yes"

"We could build you one in there instead".

"What a great idea. So I'll just consult with all the people in the streets that back onto our garden, to make sure they're happy with me somehow creating a driveway down the side of a terrace, through some of their gardens, into our new garage"

"Great, shall I send someone round to write up a quote?".

Sigh. I sent him on his way, wishing him luck, I think he'll need it!

He sounds like he's the right person to transform my ramshackle shed into stables for 6 horses, I hope you got his number.

Thinking of a helipad for my mid-terrace but probably not for a while yet as I'm still saving for my flying lessons.

How funny pickle! :)

So funny. You should have sent him to ask next door if it would be OK.

I'm sure they'd build you a helipad right outside your house in the street, they are a solutions type of company!

Reminded me for some reason: Joke:

Man goes into a Builders Yard and asks for 30,000 bricks.

"That's a lot of bricks" says the manager.

"I'm building a Bar-B-Que" says the man.

"You don't need 30,000 bricks to build a Bar-B-Que." replied the manager.

"I do" said the man. "I live on the Sevevtenth Floor."
