derek Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 i have been asked,how much money does the bank hold,how heavy will the suitcase be with my clothes in it and how many bags of shopping does the shopping trolley hold,all within the last 2 months,plus your usual daft questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I think the reason we have so many daft requests is because the customer decides to read the repairs part of the shoe repairs sign that most of us have. That would explain why I have been asked to shorten knitting needles, drill holes in plant pots, repair a 20 year old spade from a bucket and spade set which is now used for shoveling dog poo, weld metal together etc, you get the idea.

tommy Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 There is nothing wrong, Lee, with doing a bit of welding for a customer if you have the gear. I have no welding equipment, it is the fact that customers just expect you to have it & if you don't expect you to find a solution to their problem. It gets a bit like the little Britain scetch where someone goes into a shop looking for the most obscure thing you think of & when the shopkeeper finds it, it is not quite right but he does not leave & says I will wait.
