...that from time to time like today gets phone calls from ppl who don't speak very good English?
One chap I could hardly make out what he was saying wanted me to give a price over the phone to clear some guttering. Anyhow transpires he was a builder so I ask him why could he not clear the guttering himself and then I politely ended the call.
Blow me about 30mins later he phones up again asking if I did dry cleaning. After clarifying he meant drive cleaning so recognising his voice I said did you not just phone early. He said yes so I said sorry no thanks I’m not interested as am fully booked up for the next 3 months..
Unfortunately a lot of local trades have been caught out doing work for our Asian builder friends so be warned chaps
