Roy,

I'll give Mrs Reynolds a call tomorrow.

Cheers mate.

Regards,

Tosh.

PS.  I haven't a clue where Bigswear is!  But from your post I'm guessing it's not far from Chepstow, even though it's not a Chepstow number!

[Roy Harding]

Bigswear is just up from Tintern, you go towards monmouth and turn right over the River bridge.

I phoned Mrs Reynolds this morning; she heard my accent (a Geordie one) and was over the moon because she too is from the North East.

I asked her where exactly she was from and she said, 'Sunderland'.

Being a Geordie, we hate Macams (people from Sunderland), so I bade her farewell and said 'Hell would freeze over before I cleaned your stinking windows'.

Not really, she is a Macam though, so I'll charge her an extra 50 p on my initial quote.

Thanks for the tip, Roy, it seems many of her neighbors are after a window cleaner and it sounds like a pleasant place to work in.

Cheers,

That's a beer I owe you.

Regards,

Tosh.

Hope it goes well, glad I could pass some work on.

Roy,

I'm not long back from Bigswear, which I confused for Brockweir; but got there in the end.

It was three small(ish) semi-sized houses and two bungalows, one with a conservatory.

I got decent prices for them and there's more work in the pipeline here.

Anyway,

Cheers,

Tosh.

[Roy Harding]

Thanks for letting me know.

Only a Geordie-Japanese ex-army sergeant could mix up Bigsweir and Brockweir!

Repeat after me - Bigsweir is the blue bridge, Brockweir is the rusty white bridge - I would've thought that a Geordie could differentiate a bridge or two - after all there's loads on the Tyne!

((I'm only jealous cuz such a fantastic part of the country is just too far away (25 miles and a bridge toll) for me to work in!))

Malc,

It is picturesque; though a tadge snobby.  One neighbor there was complaining to me that another neighbor had built a fence and wasn't happy about it.

The offending fence was no-where near this ladies property; as in you couldn't see it from her house, so I asked why the fence is a problem.

'Because this is a hedge and stone-wall area', she told me!!!!

I thought if that's the worst she can complain about, she's extremely lucky, compared to the 'drugs, loud-music and chav' problems some of my other customers have.

----------------------------

Oh, as for being confused about bridges (this next bit is true), yesturday morning I had a text message from what I thought was the lady Roy had put onto me; it was from a 'Vannessa in B'Wier'. 

I assumed it was 'Roy's lady' from Bigsweir reminding me to come and quote for her.  We exchanged text messages and I turned up to quote.  I called the lady Vanessa, but she told me her name is June!

That really confused me.

In the end I phoned up 'Vanessa'; and as it turned out she was some lady I'd met briefly at traffic lights in town and given a business card too. 

Anyway, this Vanessa who lived in 'B'Weir', is actually in Brockweir, the place I mistook for Bigswear.  So not only did I confuse locations, but also potential new customers.

It was a strange day and I think my 5.00 am start and too much heat didn't help either.

Just thought I'd resurrect this thread - look how nice and polite we all were. (Roy still is of course!)

It was before Tosh became radicalised at the gym.

[Slacky]

No wonder he drank.

Being nicer ped is a sad state of affairs to be in.

[AuRavelling79]

Actually I've just read it again ... I wasn't very polite - but Tosh was! 

[Ooooooog]

How odd. Just been cleaning panels down there today. Very pretty.

[G Griffin]

Is it called Bigsweir,  Bigswear , Big Soup or do names not matter in that Whales?
