And its always when you are ridiculously busy:mad2:

I used to do the ideal homes exhibition which was £x per meter per day for the stand. We worked out that 2 men on one 60m2 stand cost £2000 a day between them. We divided that by 2, then divided that into the 720 minutes (12 hour shift) to give us a per-minute price, per head.

There were hundreds of cheeky reps every day that would buy a ticket, pose as a buyer, and come on your stand and ask you questions about all your stock, and then say "I can get you that cheaper" and start talking about it.

Me and my mate almost held one hostage for the 30 minutes he'd wasted BOTH of ours time.

£1.40 per minute each, x 30. (2.80 x 30) £84.

We made him pay the £84 before we let him off the stand as we were calling security. The other stands around us laughed their butts off and then kept sending all their reps to us but the organisers had clocked wind of it and kept near us and escorted them out when they did spot a real one.

Was a stunner.

You should adopt a cost per minute and charge the reps to waffle to you for as long as they wish. It's the exact same as what they're doing! The more they're with you, the more they make in the end. 😀

I don't like Mackems either.... c'mon the TOON..

Pheww!!:lol:

Men who think they can move in with you after a couple of dates, and rent their own place out! Isnt that a written rule ?

After I split up with my ex, and was going through a really bad time, everyone said go out with the first man that asks you out! So stupid me did. He rings me up and said I'll tell you what....let me treat you to dinner tonight round yours....OK I said sounds nice.

He turned up with 2 Morrisons Currys (buy one get one free! Id clocked the stickers) and then went up stairs. I hear him in the spare room..so I went up stairs. Hes only got the tape measure out measuring up the spare room! I said what are you doing..he said well I was thinking how lovely it would be if I moved in here with you, move my stuff in here I think theres just about enough room, and I can rent my place out...What do you reckon to that?

I cant repeat on here my reply, but the currys were found half way down the road the following morning after Id thrown them at him.

Pebble Power you know it makes sense!

I prefer these ones, this is my family bathroom at the moment and has been for four years

 

[Scott]

Mind you one of my neighbours has been on dating sites for the last 4 years or so. When he meets a new woman he has his feet under the table within a week. Now i dont mind because I have tiled 4 of his ex girlfriends bathrooms so far

The thing I hate the most, bar none, is when the margin trowel falls over in the bucket and the handle gets covered with thinset. GGGRRRRRR!:smilewinkgrin:

pebbs when i seperated from my first wife, threw her out for playing away,I had the kids with me untill she snatched them but thats another story. I was in a 3 yrl old 3 bed detached overlooking a golf course. I was getting a bit frustrated and talked to my mate about it and he said his wifes friend is on a dating site he would get me the details. so I signed up

I have never had such a time with the ladies in my life. it was a real eye opener. it helped that I am a good cook and could just invite them round for dinner, I had to keep dumping them, they were getting their houses valued, working out colour schemes and where their furniture was going to go, this was after the first date:yikes:

one woman said forget dinner I just want to see your layout upstairs, she had a quick look upstairs and said the box room is too small for an office and left

I had to sell the hhouse as I couldnt afford to pay the bills on it and moved into my flat. things calmed down after that and became a bit more normal, but I learnt a lesson and even started telling them it was rented rather than owned, I told michelle on our first date that I rent the house im in and she was fine with that and couldnt understand why I was mentioning it, I had to come clean when she moved in as she was helping to pay the mortgage not the rent:lol:

Mackems:lol:


My first apprentice was a Mackem



Things I hate

My first apprentice

 

[Scott]

Now i googled Mackem i understand what it means. Obviuously too far south

Deano, your obviously a tile geek! I think Autumn fall certainly fits those tiles as the way they are laid looks like the fell out of the box! (BTW they are the same one in the hall of shame)

 

[united]

Less of the Mackem hating, not all of us are bad :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Dan]

I had to Google it too lol

Something I hate is when you make a brew, you've poured the water over the teabag, got the milk out, go for the sugar and there's non there! Ahhhhhhh. :yikes:
