Is it lock-fix day?
T'was indeed lock fix day - or so I thought
The only day I could do this week was Sunday and the 'man' said no worries it would not incur any greater cost to come on a Sunday than any other day of the week - I guess I should have been suspicious then.
During the conversation I explained fully what type of lock it was - an oval thumb turn ....however it seems he either thought I didn't have a clue what I was talking about or just wasn't listening ( I will not add any further comment to that although it is tempting !!). So he turns up today... had to hurdle the fence - looks at the front door and says " Oh yeah you will need a new lock ...normally it only needs a bit of WD40 and women never think to do that "
Then he goes on to say he hasn't got one of those on him he might have to pop off to Homebase and see if they have any.
What are the odds - of course they don't . He rang me from the van to say he will be back Tuesday night as he is working late then.
So I bit my tongue, exhaled and went to practice my polevaulting over the fence.
