Axe Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I've its sounds like you would have been better rebuilding the house rounf the kids bedroom pack. Does this mean we have to start calling you Bob the Builder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 There is a chap who advertises in our local paper, that makes a good living out of assembling flat pack furniture for people. He reckons that 80% of his calls come after the man of the house has given up. I would mention that I only know this bloke from meeting him at Auctions, I am not now, nor have I ever been, one of his customers. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get decent Polish builders round our way for half that Rob! They are to the building trade, what Indians are to the IT industry Most of the people that Cranfield refers to are redunant IT support staff as a result of the above The best one I have heard of is advertising as "husband for a day" Wealthy divorcee's pay you for to do all the little jobs that hubby used to do before he cleared off with his secretary - :unsure: ding - dong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
