Custard Cream

[Doodlebug]

What's the best custard you've ever met?
Best tip?
Strangest gift from a custard?

I've had quiet a few really nice custards, the type that cook you a big fry up and mother you. Lol
The best tip was from a customer over that really cold snap, he gave me £20 tip and then another £20 tip the next day when I'd fitted the part and fixed the boiler.
I've had everything from tomatoes to jars of jam to a mirror which is currently hanging in my front lounge. Lol
Get loads of bottles of wine in the winter, enough to fill a wine cellar. Lol

Last bathroom I did was for a lovely lady, endless tea, biscuits, coke, mars bars etc for 2 weeks, bathroom came to just short of 5k all in, and she still gave me a £25 tip for a few beers. Was a pleasure being there for the duration.

Had a few nice tips in the past, bottles of wine etc as you say. Mainly when I was not working for myself.

I did a bathroom a few months back. She gave me breakfast & lunch every day with some lovely cakes. Coffee offered every hour. At the end of the job she gave me 2 crates of beer, a bottle of JD, a bunch of flowers for the Mrs & some toys for my kids. She cried with happiness when it was finished. I hadn't even packed up my radio after giving her invoice & she'd already paid & left feedback on my website. She's already booked a slot in November for me to do her kitchen fit.
Got to be my best Custard experience!

I've had a few bottles of wine and been sent home with a bottle of red, bag of sweets for the nipper and a box of choices for the misses - I only fixed the loo!

Went out to a nice old lady today though who fed me chocolate chip cookies and tea whilst I replaced her meters. Old people always seem more friendly and hospitable.

Shame all customers aren't that generous. A lot are the ones that stand over you & don't even offer a cuppa

I got a slap on the back once....it's very hard to make a beef sandwhich from a slap on the back. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Last tip I actually got was £30 from a bloke who had a blown plastic pipe fitting beneath his floor. Had to remove the loo, and a load of flooring to get to it, and then under the floor was rat heaven with loads of poo. I genuinely didn't feel clean for a couple of days, even washed my tools as I don't want gilberts disease.

It was a blown fitting by the way, not rat chewing the pipe.
