The Tumbler Dryer
When I worked for C Farmer Ltd, the local television shop, my job was to deliver and install equipment as well as repairs. One delivery job I remember quite vividly happened on a Thursday morning.
I remember it was a Thursday as it closing day, so I was by myself to do any repairs and deliveries for the day.
I picked up my job sheets and set off to Ashford-in-the-Water to deliver a tumble dryer. I drove up the person's drive in the van, got out and knocked on the door. The woman answered and I chirpily said "Good Morning. I'm from Farmers and I've brought your tumbler dryer!" "OK bring it in!" came the reply.
I merrily walked back to the van, whistling away and full of the joys of spring. I opened the back doors of the van.... Oh horror of horrors... what will I say?... how will I explain?...
"I've forgotten to load the damn thing up!" I'd driven to Ashford to deliver a tumble dryer, and not loaded the damn thing up, I had an empty van!! Nothing in the back!! How could I be such a dummy?
"Sorry about this madam, but there's a slight problem, I'll call back in a short while." I think I got away with it!!
