I was on the phone yesterday to Chip who by the way folks happened to be in the middle of the ocean sunning himself!!! After getting off the phone with him I was all clued up on how to be a superstar sweeper! Or so I thought! I had learnt a few lessons on me last sweeping episode like if your sweeping for half an hour and NOTHING is going in the hopper you need to have the hopper open!! Don't run over the string lines so they get all tangled up around the side broom in front of staff we had to cut it free!! If your knee high to a grass hopper don't attempt to show staff how to work a 650 echo where they have to grab the thing off you before you drop it! But here's the cracker!!! On the 1st job I hired a trailer and put the sweeper on that it towed so well... then yesterday after talking to Chip I thought I would try the sweeper on me trailer and go do the next job with me new found advice. I asked one of me staff to ride it up and he kept insisting it would be too heavy any way i said well just reverse it off really quickly if it is!! No time for reverse as soon as it was up on me trailer the floor COLLAPSED! now I'm stood there looking at a collapsed floor me sweepers stuck in the trailer it had no floor to reverse on and staff who are dying to pee them selves laughing but dare not to !! I had to get a hi-ab to lift me sweeper out me trailer and because the hi-ab was here the gates that block the public eye had to be open EXPOSING me and my MISHAP to all the bludy neighbours! oooo I had a few swifty halves last night I say I had a few swift halves last night!!! ! I have to replace the floor on me trailer as well! I don't know about me sweeping idea any more! I think it may be wise to stick your Tenant on EBAY after all Ken instead of giving me it free !!!
I blame chip
