[Gazzer]

Not often I accept drinks anyway.

 

[kilty55]

One house many years ago, offered a cuppa and one look at chipped cup with brown stains and one look at the cooker with fat running down the sides, waited till she disappeared then tipped it away....even the rats wore wellingtons in that place.

I'm a complete coffee snob and is one of the reasons I rarely accept a drink in someone's house. I was once made boiled chicken and potatoes for lunch and had to lie to the old dear that I was a vegetarian but said my apprentice would be more than happy to eat both portions. It wasn't till after he ate it, that I told him I'd seen the cat chewing on it before it was dished up.....lol. He didn't speek to me for a week!

I sent an email to one kitchen refit and told them i was unable to provide a quote for health reasons. I never told them it was their house that was unhealthy for me to work in. But i hae worked in some right minging places.

Last one was a guy with half an arm and cerebal palsy, i took the job as they said no one else had provided a quote and i felt it wasnt his fault, he couldnt physically clean the place.

Can't remember the last minger job..............but for the last few days I have had coffee on the hour, and a large slice of cake. Lemon drizzle cake today. :smilewinkgrin: Finished the job unfortunately.


Not cake on the hour may I add :lol:

it'd take nothing short of a crackhouse to stop me turning down a cuppa. i'm not fussy at all.

I'm the same, so many people don't make you a brew that when someone does I'm not going to turn it down... think i need to get myself a decent flask.
