Re: Essential stockholding for shopkeepers
Ive just got signs behind the counter tell customers how to conduct themselves. 😀
My favourite is the one that says ‘No bartering!’ in English and in Punjabi.
I think the problem with specialist shops, is that you get specialist customers. My shop is like the shop from ‘Little Britain’. I laugh so hard at that. If a customer asks for something stupid, I go to the back door and shout ‘Margaret?….Margaret?’
Re: Fire!
I know that a module setting on fire is a really rare occurance. So what’s the chance of, a module setting on fire, the customer not sueing me, and the customer paying for a replacement washer. That’s what I got. I should have picked some lottery numbers that day.
We’ve had a couple of pumps catch fire before (both askoll), but the boss saw the module and said he’d never seen that happen before, and he is ooooold!
Bloomberg used to be Ocean/Brandt. It could be anything now.
Re: What no cake?
It’s a good excuse to get drunk tonight. 😉
Someone should organise a party in the chat-room later.
Party! Party! Party!
Invite everyone, play some loud music, get some girls there (or goats); the catering will have to be self-service though.
Re: Fire!
OK.
A little background…..
The customer ring us and says, ‘You sold us a Philco washer dryer about 10 years ago. It’s set on fire this morning!’
I’m thinking ‘We’re gonna get sued!’
Then the customer says ‘It’s first time it’s gone wrong. What a great machine. What do you sell now?’ and buys a Bosch W/D off us.
The fire brigade said it was the pump, but it looks like the module to me.
I’ll sort the picture later, I’ve actually got some work to do for now. 😆
Re: Fire!
This thing actually set on fire. Fire brigade job!
I’ve got a picture of it for the horror photos thingy.
Where should I email it?
Re: Is WashVac’s site down?
Soz, I didn’t look at the last page. 😳
I was just going to say, that I asked the rep if there are selling to the public. He said something like, ‘So what? Electure do!’
Re: Is WashVac’s site down?
I saw the rep yesterday. He phoned Rob (some of you may know he’s the pc man) and asked about the indentifier.
I just heard ‘…yeah, I know it’s not working, customers are telling me it’s not working. Can’t you put a note on the website or summit?’
He also said…….I might type it in the rummor mill later. I bet you all look at my area and know who my rep is 🙁
Re: Advertising Scam
Dont get me wrong. They are normally the people that ring when im laid on my back, under a washer, and I’ve just got the two spanners on the motors bolts. Then they get a real screaming at, goatboy-style.
If you’ve got the patience, you can have fun with them, but don’t forget Brains’ original point, some of them are cunning! Well, afew are cunning. Most are stupid, overworked, stressed and poorly-paided.
Re: Advertising Scam
I answer the phone at our HQ, so I have to deal with these calls all day, everyday! I’ve become so used to it, and I’ve become very expierimental with them. The trick is to make them hang up on you. My favourites are….
You: Hello?
Them: Hello, my name is Steeeeve (in a thick indian accent) can I speak to the manager there please.
You: Sure, what’s your account number?
Them: I’m sorry sir?
You: You do have an account number don’t you?
Them: ????
You: Well just give me your postcode and I’ll look it up.
The phone call breaks down pretty quickly!

You: Hello?Them: Hello, my name is Steeeeve (in a thick indian accent) can I speak to the manager there please.
You: What’s it about?
Them: Blah blah blah
You: Well first of all I’d like to tell you about the teachings of Jesus Christ…
This time the phone call breaks down very quickly!
—————————————————————————-
You: Hello?Them: Hello, my name is Steeeeve (in a thick indian accent) can I speak to the manager there please.
You: Could I interest you in one of the lovely Bosch washing machines that I sell? (Dont let them answer) They’re a really nice machine! It’s A rated, comes with a two year guarantee……
The only problem is, when they then hang up on me, it makes me angrier that if I just hung you on them. But it’s worth it!
I have alot more if people are interested. 😉
Re: Recommended Listening
For crying out loud!!!! How old are you guys?
Am I the only one here that likes music that goes ‘Rahh!!’
Where men scream, guitars are tuned down to B, and where double-bass pedals dominate the drumming.
Sure, The Dead Kennedy’s were great, as were the sex pistols, but it’s 2005. Go out and buy Pissing Razors, Hatebreed, Throwdown, Six Feet Under, Soulfly, Killswitch Engage and some Machinehead.
Satan’s adrenaline pumping, skull cracking music!
Where do you think the name ‘Goatboy’ came from?
——————————————————————
Maybe if your in a more mellow mood…Incubus, Cyprus Hill, Jurrassic 5, Gravediggaz, The Beastie Boys and Tenacious D.
Hope this helps!! 😉

Not hte easiest to learn!!!!!!! :haier:
Dreamweaver near drove me to insanity. Luckily I found a program called ‘swish 2’ which has the tag-line ‘flash made easy.’
And that’s what it is. Dreamweaver, but not too hard to learn. I’m sure dreamerweaver is great, but after two days of trying to learn it, it was thinking very evil thoughts.
Swish 2!!! 😉
Re: How do you get a big Fridge/Freezer out?
I ‘ve seen some appliances and thought ‘Which muppet installed this?’
Now I know. 😆
No offence Gonzo. 😆
