It’s all good in the wood.
The phone vibrates and I pick it up. It’s Berrys, the delivery man asking where exactly I want the wood. I say you were supposed to ring me and he says he did, twice. I later check my phone and I missed the call because it was on silent. I ask him to ring Ken, St. Johns Shopping center manager. He rings back to say it goes to answer machine. I give him the best advise I can as to where to leave the wood, next to the second grey door; he says there are no grey doors, they’re all green. He says he’ll leave the wood between the 2nd and 3rd door, I apologise for missing the call.
I’ve painted the ends of the wood black and need turps to clean my brush so I go to the pound shop/stop across the way and it’s £1.49. I try B&M Bargains, they don’t have any so I try the other pound shop, it’s £1.50.
Yesterday I bump into a guy I used to work with who is now working as a Parking Attendant (traffic warden). I tell him I did the weeks training but the prospect of the abuse put me off. I confirm the following: PAs have to be wearing their hat to issue you a ticket and if they hand you the ticket, don’t accept it, just get in your car and drive off (if it’s on your windscreen it’s too late). Do not catch the ticket if they throw it at you!
