    Henry Crun accompanied by Bluebottle called by later that week and picked them up. 🙂 😛

    Mark Robbins (ex Man U) Rangemaster cooker

    Eion Jess (ex Scotland international) Stoves cooker hood

    Both were nice chaps, sure theres someone else but cant think off hand.

    Heard alot of stories about who were nice and who were swines when I worked for AGA though.

    edit: Mark Saggers (former Sky Sports News presenter now on Talk Sport) He was great, very pleasant chap.

    I remember doing a call years ago for the comedian Jim Tavare.
    He’s the bald one with the double bass. Got chatting over a brew and he got to telling me he was on Des Oconnor later in the week and showed me one of the gags he was using.
    Had a trap door in the back of the bass, put in a pair of his jeans, spun the bass a few times and took out a kids pair.
    Apt considering I was fixing his HPT washer dryer.
    Sure enough, the programme was showna few weeks later and he did the gag. 😆

    quite a while back I fixed a premier league footballer’s built in lux washer. (or was it first division?) – Wolverhampton Wonderers and Irish footballer. something Foley.

    Built in electrolux washer with blocked drain pump (I think).

    He got this built in coffee machine, he asked if I knew how to use it as he couldn’t figure it out. I replied I wouldn’t know how to use it but a cup of coffee would be nice though!
