    Had a chap phone Saturday 1pm, pleading poverty. Can you repair the machine this afternoon and invoice my landlord for the money. Ive got no money until the Tax credit comes in on Tuesday.

    I said I can’t make it until Tuesday anyway, plus you will have to pay me and get the money back of your Landlord!

    He then says, ‘Do you take US dollars?’
    I say, ‘No.’

    He says’ Ive got loads of US dollars as Im going to America for two weeks.’

    He dosen’t know the meaning of poverty!! Waster!!

    (Never did get the job.)

    Today I had a call from some guy who had bought a new washing machine, and would I like to purchase his old one. So I said I would collect it, but he would have to pay me to take it. That shut him up
