The saga that is Everest.

[postman]

I was in Leeds on saturday afternoon.Collecting my Spesh touring road shoes.Well my missus was playing on the computer,when someone knocks at the door.Now she did not answer the knock and decided she did not want to know who it was.I don't agree with that attitude but we differ there.So this guy then knocks on the window,she still ignores him even though she is on the computer and can be seen from outside.He then drops something through the letterbox.Later she picks it up,it was a guy from Everest trying to introduce himself.A bit much now,i have told them over the phone do not call again.This could become very interesting.I wonder what is next.

Was he still wearing the climbing gear or did he have time to change?

I wonder if this could be classed as harassment?

I was minding my own business watching TV and the buggers interrupted the program and started trying to sell me double glazing!

I thought we were talking about the mess of oxygen cylinders and the dead bodies littering the mountain.

More like "I have asked this gentleman on several ocassions not to contact me be he still keeps on doing so."

...and so double glazing would keep out the cold and the Dame Judy off the rotting corpses.

I'll have the 'ouse done, me.

One of the idiots called round at my place while my builder and I were in the process of fitting brand new windows! He smiled a big salesman's smile and said, "Have you thought about having new windows fitted?"

I asked him if he was joking ... well, my language was considerably more colourful than that, but this is a family forum! Apparently ...

My sister had only just had hers done and told a persistent salesman that. He told her that they weren't very good, and she should have them replaced with the ones he was selling!

My favourite was when we lived in a weavers cottage. It had mullion windows on the upper floor, and large panorama windows on one downstairs room, and a three frame mullion on the other. The kitchen and back kitchen windows meant I had 8 frames downstairs, but nearer twenty upstairs. One firm rang me and told me they would only make me pay for the downstairs windows and fit the upstairs for free. Fortunately for him the cottage was listed, so I couldn't spank his arse by holding him to the deal.
