No one working over the Christmas holidays this year then??

You must be drunk if you're offering to give away your cider recipe

We have a lot of regular clients so we cover emergencies over the holidays but we charge preminm rates home to home and we have the final say if it's an emergency or not. Some of our clients are in Botswana, Mozambique and Zambia so a call out is usually at least a 2 day affair.

Marvo , that last line sort of puts it in perspective !!!! :speechless:

I've just got back from 3 call outs now finished until the 27th. Just slipped into the Christmas onesie and cracked the tinny open. Happy christmas guys have a good one.

does this mean your already too drunk to spell?

Don't you mean you're?

Spelling was correct, it's the grammar that was wrong. Same with yours.

Never had Christmas day off for fourteen years on the trot.
The only thing planned for tomorrow, cook lunch, go to pub. Depending on how it goes at the pub, lunch may be supper.

I remember the one , it was posted by fuzzydunlop and he reckoned his mate was going to get 18k for three days cover !

It was a reply in a thread that I had started , to moan about getting a callout at about half ten at night on Christmas Eve which was 130 miles away back down in Bucks .
I then had one come in on Christmas morning as well !

That's the one!!

Was it £18K, so my recollection was underestimated then..lol!! I knew it was something totally preposterous, must think we had all just come up the river or something!! lol!!

[joelypops]

Only had one call out ths year. Christmas eve call from a Bupa care home we did some bits for a while ago. Tree fell down on the overhead lines taking out l1 ans l3. Had to juggle the sub mains around a bit to get their essential services back online then will have to go back in a week or two to put it back when the lines have been fixed. I do like an emergency call out!

 

[Octopus]

I had one call yesterday... kitchen light issue for 4 days and then wanted an instant response.... I offered to go Monday!
