The door was off, they arrived, and I had to leave to have bluds done at the doctor. Before I got back twenty minutes later they had taken the cardboard from around the new fridge freezer and discovered that when unswaddled, it could be seen to be dented and scratched in a way that the deliverers at once saw was not acceptable. So they took it away again, saying that one in better condition would be delivered tomorrow.
They were gone by the time I got back. I am told that they were surprised at not being shouted at, but how futile would that have been? It clearly wasn’t their fault.
So I shall be woken again tomorrow, at the same time no doubt, to be given a new delivery slot. Argh, on the whole.
Thank you, Twellsy. And please take your nice antibees and stairrods and Get Well Soon.
Next time, ensure the young men with whom you play o’weekends have first been boiled, for purposes of asepsis
Thank goodness they didn’t try to pretend the fridge was not damaged or that the damage was in some way your fault. Then, shouting would definitely have been in order!
We-ell, it’s not chucking down yer akshual sner or anything, but nevertheless it was Put Back On (rehung being, I believe, the technical term) sans grub screws. And we can do it all agane tomorrow.
Excellent. One has to be a bit careful when renting a car, I find, to make sure all the dents and scratches are marked on the form or you can get blamed for them.
