Just had a woman in the shop asking:
Do you sell plugs?
Yes. Standard 13amp?
No. Bath plugs.
You couldn’t make it up!

Re: Two Ronnies Moment
I had a customer phone today. He wanted me to make his built in oven smaller so he had more cupboard space. !
Re: Two Ronnies Moment
Had one this afternoon Debbie answered the phone “good afternoon Careys ”
Cust “hello is that Careys” :rolls:
I swear they are getting worse …Re: Two Ronnies Moment
Get that all the time.
“Hello, NW Appliance Repairs” ….. “Is that the NW repair people?”
How tempting is it to say, “no, it’s the Salvation army”
Get a lot of this though, which is still more annoying….
“Hello, UK Whitegoods”
“You sold me a *Lofra cooker* and it’s broken, what are you going to do about it?”
(* insert almost any brand and appliance you like)
The answer is usually, “You found us on the internet, yes?”. Followed by an explanation that we’re not who they think we are.
All day long, every day.
We’ve had loads for the Beko fire thing, the Bosch fire thing and every time Watchdog does something we get lots of calls. Next time though I’m going to be not so nice if it’s Samsung, they annoyed me.

Re: Two Ronnies Moment
Dozy chav last week
Me.Working on basic New World cooker.
‘its your lower element, £85 all in, should be in next Wednesday…….sir’
‘Yep thats fine, you couldn’t do it sooner though?’
‘I can do it on monday but it will be extra to cover the postage, £7’
‘No probs, Monday then ‘ (proceeds to give me deposit money£20 + a fiver to cover postage)
‘So how much will that be in total’
‘£92 ‘
‘Oh, that’s a hundred innit?????’
‘No its £85 which you agreed, plus the postage £7 which you agreed’
‘Do you know where I can get a secondhand cooker’I then got the ‘what you doing???’ as I reconnected the lower oven element so he couldn’t reuse the thing again.
No money out of it (don’t need the agro) but happy I avoided grief for the next two years from all the other chavvy mates by him telling them ‘it was as bad when he left it after he fixed it’.Tony
