    Dear Agent,

    Do you think it important to cut Co2?
    Would you want to help prevent global warming?
    Is it important for all of us to care about the environment?


    You can do something, you can offset the Co2 emissions from a contractor by paying a nominal amount of £30 per day…

      Numbers dont stack up.
      Any time we got pain in the arse customers, my Mrs (who has the patience of a fecking saint) could be heard chatting/reasoning/winning them over. Then a voice would boom out from the kitchen along the lines of "Tell the **** to **** off and take his ****ing £2 and ram it up his ****ing ****"

      As I said, I'm not a people person

      I'm sure I'll miss it at times. Do you miss yer tat shop or glad to be rid ? (Or, I suspect, a bit of both)

        Brilliant! Especially seeing as my agent has issued a 'sustainability and corporate responsibility statement'.

          Dear agent,

          in your request to explain a requested rate rise; things are expensive and it's not fair I have to spend so much on petrol for the same money. Also, the client canteen stopped giving cheap prices to contractors.

          Love,
          SpaceCadet.



          The sad thing is, to many this would be a fair reason

            But what will your wife now do? I bet within 6 months she will be bored and want to open another business.

              No, he said she has the patience of a fecking saint, so I suppose she'll stay busy at home fecking saints.

                Ha. She didn't want to do the cafe thing in the first place. And she's now crying about selling it.

                  Note to Cojak - f**king, in this case, is being used as a substitute for 'forking', so please hold back on you usual 'non specific' infraction notice.
