Oh what a night.... 19th June 2015 9:32 PM

Unbelievable suspense! We're all on tenterhooks here!

“I hate driving round Coventry, that ring road gives me the heebjeebies! Drive round Brum, London, no probs.

Coventry, I get lost everytime, or nearly wiped out on the ring road with people entering and leaving the same 150 yard bit of slip road doing about 80mph ”

 

The ring road is my nemesis!! But lately I am getting the hang of it a bit more. Apparently it is designed so if we start driving on the right it is fine to use the other way round!

Not too bad ....I think! I am a pessimist like my Dad so I can't help but think I've failed. I have passed all the exams so far so I'm sure it was okay.

I am usually quite good at exams. I came top of the country in my council tax and business rates exams...now there's something to put on my gravestone. Haha

What's happening?  We need to know!

“. The order was placed with a British boiler manufacturing company, who got a Chinese company to make it, who put it on a container ship to the USA where the hot water calorifiers were made, it then set sail for Harwich....... Where it was then impounded for a week by customs.........Now if you read all the data plates attached to all the components on this installation, you'd honestly believe that it was British.....
 

This is really depressing! I am great believer in buying British but it's really not that straight forward is it?

“Not once changed a company name to rid debt. I can't think of anything more unethical and dirty is business. I'd sell my house and kidneys before I bluffed off suppliers invoices and staff wages! 

Reputation is part of the wheel of business.”

 

I couldn't agree more. It's totally immoral. I like to hope karma comes to get those people that do.

Oh my!!! What a saga!!! What happens next? This guy sounds like an absolute idiot! I do hope you get it back intact with all your tools! Will insurance cover it all? I hate being a in a situation where you have to trust someone like this and they totally betray that trust.

We had problems with a place near us that took weeks to fix our Bongo and actually did a bit of a botch and seemed to leave evidence that they enjoyed a weekend away in it whilst he had it!! Plus he serviced our car, which then broke down in Devon a few days later. Absolute nightmare. I feel your pain.

I'm looking forward to episode 3!

Yes, they are quite strange...but innovative I think!

I have my first SAGE exam tonight. I am approaching the end of my bookkeeping course and have passed all 5 manual exams so far or was it 6, now 2 SAGE ones left. I can't practise at home so it's more nerve wracking!
