We seldom get complaints but this is a good one!
Readers will remember years ago an old man called cockney Bill drove his car at me hitting me in the shins after I had asked him not to park in the catering area.
He got out of his car waving two walking sticks shouting “come ere you bastard” and promptly fell over. Sadly Bill is here no more but today his eldest son came to complain to me about a seller being rude to him.
“I went to the stall and he had a CD that was FREE in the newspaper and I sez how much do you want for this FREE CD mate, he told me 20p and I sez I will give you 10p the seller then sez I suggest you fook off and buy an effing paper then”
“I mean there’s no reason to talk to me like that, I was going to smack him one but I had me walking stick with me but I could have got me sons to hold him down”
“So what do you want me to do” I asked
“Go and speak to him and tell him not to be so rude to customers”
What a nutter! Later I spoke with the seller who had known the potential buyer as ‘agro’ for years.
“He sent his son to buy the CD but I accidentally dropped it into a bin and a hammer fell into the bin smashing the CD so no bugger gets it!!
Great fun Car Boots! “I was gonna smack him one” All over 10 p! What a joker!
