secret squirrel
I was working with a friend over the last few days as he needed a hand. Today, we were having a cup of tea and a digestive, (we'd finished the good ones and this was all the customer had left). The customer came into the garden and joined us.
After a few minutes of friendly banter, she looked at me and said 'I hope you don't mind me asking but in the last couple of days I've watched you walking around and putting bits and bobs in your pocket, you seem to do this a lot, what have you got in your pockets'
My mate looked and said 'what do you have in your pockets, you thieving git!' Luckily he was laughing when he said it and the customer smiled.
I emptied my pockets onto the patio, turned out 2 rolls of PTFE, 1 gas, half dozen 22mm pipe inserts, half a dozen 15mm, a couple of 22mm pushfit joints and a few 15mm pushfit, 15mm street elbow, 15mm elbows, plastic pipe cutters, adjustable and a few little bits.
I explained that my mate although an excellent plumber is a nightmare for cleaning up bits and pieces, so, I follow him around clearing up and when he needs something I've normally got it in my pocket.
She thought it was extemely amusing and said 'would I mind following her kids about'
I had to explain (in the best possible terms) that she was not up to my standard, any woman, who runs out of chocolate biscuits within 2 days, Well.......
As I got out of the van though at the end of the day my mate said just before he went into the garage 'make sure you leave my bits behind':wink_smile:
Moral of the story, your always being watched......:ninja:
