So, who wants to help ... to flummox the cellar?

Take heart; every previous shredder died on as many as three sheets of A4.

That does make me feel a bit better, which indicates that I am not a particularly nice person. Sigh.

The blokes who did the roofing were hard-w#rking, tidy, polite etc. We offered and gave them teas, coffees and biscuits. Exchanged pleasantries etc. When we parted company, this arvo, they told us that most customers don’t even talk to them. FFS.

FFS indeed. Although sometimes one wishes one hadn’t engaged in conversation (had a couple of bad experiences with that). I always try to have Good Biscuits. It’s remembering to have milk in I need to pay attention to ;- )

It makes me cross when people don’t treat workers as human beings

I have been known to bake for the lads who put our terrace down

They were tidy clean and full of fun

I think folks work better for being treated like my twin does

Well, quite, Twellsy. I respect those who have skills beyond mine (not difficult, tbf) and further admire those who respect my land and property. The roof replacement has been good (Carinthia has an idea of how large this undertaking would be) and I gave the blokes enough for a round or two. (The rooves were many, many rounds-worth.)

I always get/got the car out of the way & put up a small table in the garage for any workmen with kettle, mugs, tea coffee & biscuits onnit.
There is a toilet at the end of the garage, so they were reasonably comfortable & sheltered from the elements.
I did notice that latterly, before Covid, they had preferred to eat their sandwiches in their van, & make 'phone calls…

Caveat: this post moves from the particular to the general and no aspersions should be assumed to be cast in a Chatelainely direction.

Good choice. Things put into the degenerate freezer never seem quite the same afterwards.
