This just has to be a wind up!!!
« on: May 12, 2010, 08:28:36 pm »
Got a message on my voicemail to go quote a job last night.
It has to be a wind up I thought. But as I was working the area figured what the heck I would take a look.

The message said "Please would you give me a quote to clean my bungalow at xxxxxx xxxx. My name is Mr Voldemort"

Now anyone who knows a little about the Harry Potter books will realise why I was sceptical.
Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be genuine, did the job and he paid by cheque, and the name on it confirmed it.

I got caught on that, took me for a right mug, Mr Voldermort checked out fine, but you wait till he mentions the big school contract at hogwarts.

Tell him to shove it, he's just trying to set you up.

Not a well known name but I had a customer who was a Chinese fella called Mr Chang-U-Wang.If he ever left a message on my voicemail I was tempted to return the call and say, "Mr Chang,U Wang?"

I've got a Mike Tyson on my books. He is very white and a postie. Doesn't look like he could fight his way out of a paper bag.
