lightweight Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Do people ring you up and say, 'really interested in your Lightweight for sale - will be down Saturday morning to look at it', and then not turn up. Is it too much to ask that they give you a ring/text/email and say, 'sorry, can't make it/ have changed my mind/can't be bothered'. It's not hard to get in touch these days, is it? Could it be that those of us with manners are a dying breed? Rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 It's happened to us every time we've had something for sale. There was even the bloke who came to drive the Champ, after taking it for a good long drive, turned around and said 'I've got a Champ, don't want another' - he just wanted to drive another one to compare it to his Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Date,...............heard absolutly nothing............. :dunno: Had started to (try) and make arrangments re getting involved in poppy appeal, ...........but need to get this matter sorted first.

Tony B Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Now the Chore Horse charger set is officially working :-D the next job is the 101 MOT. Fortunately being an Ambulance, and registered as such only a Class 4, technically being 3.1 tons they should plate.

CanadianScottish Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 No end of season blues here, because now the seasons all but done work has taken over. Week before last, Jersey. Last week, Bruges, Ypres & Terneuzen in Holland. This week Liege and the Ardennes. My lad is on half term next week and is really giving me grief about coming to work with me!
