Historically internal company B ordered from internal company A (at nil margin) who then ordered from suppliers, new boss of internal company B decides he needs to boost his numbers. He convinces the powers that be that internal company B should hold the relationship with supplier, the change is made. Now internal company A has to order from internal company B (at retail price) who them orders from the suppliers, no extra margin is made anywhere but it just makes him look good.
However last night somebody must have made a booboo, internal company A orders from internal company B who tries to order from a supplier, supplier rejects the order for no stock, system then looks for another supplier & finds internal company A is still live, so it places an order.
Have you caught up yet?
Yes you are correct internal company A accepts the order & promptly places an order with internal company B, who tries to order from supplier who no surprise rejects the order & places an order with internal company A this process happens every 5 minutes until noticed this morning.

Lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast - one with corned beef and chutney, one with sliced avocado with a bit of salt & pepper, plus strawberries, cherries and two

Now sat watching the TdF.
I see they're riding on the pave this afternoon. Well, they should run a stage or two out here, the pave will look like a piece of cake.

many years ago a small engineering company wanted to take advantage of the discount for ordering in bulk but didn't have the room to store it, so the suppler agreed to be the stock holder store the stuff and release it in small quantities at regular intervals, now this worked well for several years then something happened and the agreement got scrapped, this resulted in all stock being sent to the small engineering company who didn't have room for it, once the storage area was full the rest was stacked in the yard, they could have sent the excess to a storage facility a few streets away but didn't, either because they didn't think of it or they didn't want to pay the fee's, a few months later the yard got broken into and the excess was nicked, we came in to an empty tarpaulin and a pile of packaging.

After a few weeks of activity,Postman is resting till monday.Carpet company due monday morning to lay carpet.The room looks very good after my initial worries about shady finish.Also on monday comes a midi skip.We have loads of crap to dump.But since we last hired a skip things have changed,old paint in tins cant go in,an extra payment for bedroom carpet,one payment for each room,so the small carpet is going in the car to the local tip.Finally s a treat we are going out for a pensioners meal tonight.
