Got an email from a chap this morning via our website, he wants me to fit a new bathroom for him in a hurry, I was reading it thinking I can do that if its an empty hoose no worries, it'll keep me out of mischief for a few days.
Then I read the address, its in Moscow as in Moscow....
Not to get off topic, but when I ran a landscape company, I'm in the office and the phone rings
Guy on the other end, starts ranting, raving and swearing at me, threatening lawsuit and to come down, and punch my lights out
I tell him to calm down and explain what he was on about and to cease and desist with the cursing and swearing at me, not to mention threatening me
"You tore my lawn up and dug some irrigation ditches, promised you'd come back and finish the job at 8 o'clock this morning, and nobody's turned up yet WTF is going on!!!"
I asked for his name and address, and said I'd check into why he wasn't getting any joy
He gives me the info, then adds, Delta...Lousiana
"Eh...OK...there's the problem...you've got British Columbia, Canada on the line mate"
His reaction was, stunned silence, then he checked his papers and sheepishly said "I'm so sorry"
I laughed and told him to have a nice day and wished him good luck with his lawn
I Googled the town and looked for the company name (same as ours) lo and behold, there was a landscape company with the same name down there
Blood pressure back to normal wee man
Michael loved a good laugh, he'd have liked that story, Hoopy
