A guy just rang me about his faulty Hoover washing machine. The conversation went as follows: –
Customer: “I bought this Hoover from you a year ago and it’s now gone wrong!”
Me: “I don’t sell washing machines!”
Customer: “Well anyway it’s got your sticker on the front of it!”
Me: “What’s your problem with the machine?”
Customer: “It trips the electric every time we switch it on, how soon can you come and fix it?”
Me: “No probs, where do you live?”
Customer: “Chorley”.
Me : “Where????”
Customer: “Chorley in Lancashire”.
Me: “I’m 200 plus miles away from you, maybe you should look for someone a little closer to home?”
Re: You live where?
At one time I kept getting calls from towns around Glasgow, a similar 190 to 200 miles from me. I think they got my number from some kind of search engine which takes a very liberal view of the term “local”. 😆
Re: You live where?
I had my only Amica job in the other week. Can I do a job in Margate?
128 miles away and thats using the M25. I know £50 is meant to be a good insurance rate but I declined the call. 🙂
