Am i strange? The present Mrs.Butcher has this idea that WE want a new house,so i spent saturday afternoon and sunday afternoon looking at new houses. All went well (as well as it could,if your not really interested)untii we went to see a brand new barn conversion in the next village to where we live now. The developers sales lady gave us all the speel and even took us to see the footings (rivetting!) we then go back to her converted garage to talk about (yawn) floortiles,wardrobe doors ,bathroom tles etc etc. CAN I HAVE THE GARAGE PLASTERED AND HAVE THE FLOOR TILED? Said sales lady glares at me. BLOODY HELL IVE JUST GROWN TWO HEADS. " and just why would one want to do that "SHE ASKS. From behind me i heard my wife mutter "oh no here we go" "Your not one of them biker types "says sales lady "have you got a bike"she adds not even giving me time to draw breath. "no ive got 2 ducatis" says I. I suddenly felt i was alone and on turning around i saw my wife in the distance getting into her car. I then took the oppertunity to explain to the sales lady the errors of her ways both as far as her total lack of any form of salesmanshipand more importantly her totally misguided view of this fair lands heros that are forever the upholders of the right to ride on two wheels. Butch P.s we move in friday! |
