((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.
