one good turn deserves another

[Badger1bear]

I was just finishing work last week when I noticed that the scrapyard artic had its trailer raised about 6 feet in the air. Being the inquisitive sort I wandered across to see what was going on. The owner was trying to make his Polish staff understand that he wanted them to trace a wiring fault with its weighloader. Pigeon Polish/English was being used from them and expletive English was being used by the boss (excellent working atmosphere)

The owner knew that I did the repairs on our trucks and plant so he asked me if I would have a look. I suppose I spent and hour there and eventually resolved his problem saving him a good bit of time and money he asked me what do I owe ya Badge ?

I said "nothing mate, but if you should have a tool box turn up in the scrap, not too beaten up, think of me"

At the end of play today one of the Polish from the scrapyard came over to our place and said the boss wants to see you. I went over to his yard and low and behold he had bought me a new heavy duty clarke tool box I asked him what I owed him for it and he said "you dont owe me anything Badge, I am grateful you helped out"


If that wasnt enough, Matt from Lorch came thru for me again and I took delivery of my second Lorch M-Pro 252

Happy Days

Why do you want 2 migs??????.................

In the cowboy films they always have two guns

 

[gordon stephenson]

Really nice when a bit of the old good will comes up trumps, Well done you.

Why do you want 2 migs??????.................

Two hands

Glad it arrived all ok. Don't forget to check the 15 pos switch inside the wire feeder before you load it in the van

 

[octo0072000]

i still like the one good turn deserves another bit and the old fashioned barter system

It's what makes the world go round. I've been repairing a 20 year old German CNC lathe at home over the past three months, and a chap on the makers help desk has been very helpful. As a thank you I got a gift wrapped bottle of Glenmorangie 12 year old malt sent to him. After that he was even more helpful

The first one was so good the boss asked me if we could get another

I would say you get what you pay for...........................but I didnt have to pay for mine

 

[Shedendman]

OOOOOOOOOOO thats handy badger,your only a short drive from me,if my mig goes pop can i borrow the one thats not in use

 

[Badger1bear]

I am always willing to help bud one welder stays with me and the other Lorch is now kept at Fawkhan near Dartford.

Best not tell ya we have two Lincoln plasma cutters

 

[Robotstar5]

The only downside to the 2 migs/2 plasmas is the boss will want the jobs done twice as quick!

I had a luxury Marks and Spencer hamper turn up for me today, I hadn't ordered one so my initial thoughts was, is it some sort of scam. Anyway when I opened it there was a note inside from a guy I had spoken to on the phone a few weeks ago and had given him some advice on sorting out a welding problem on his Automation system (not purchased from us). It was a thank you.

Was a really nice and very much appreciated surprise.

Chicken Tikka Slice

Reminds me of when, as a new divorcee in my early 20s I used to stop at a butcher's stall in our local indoor market several times a week and purchase one of their (new concept at the time) Curry Pasties.
I recall the owner remarking on the fact and that I must really like curry: I avoided telling him the real reason I went was to try and get tapped-up with his 17-year-old daughter who worked behind the counter

Wonder where she is now...
