This was actually one of the worst garden clearances I have ever taken on. The garden had been used as a dumping ground for around 3 years so you can imagine what turned up with the mix of residents that had stayed there. Broken glass, knife blades, bottles of wee, random metal artefacts and plenty of green waste and dry wood turned up in the maze of ground patches. It was for a landlord who didn't want to pay anything so I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, on one hand were the poor residents who had suffered the nightmare of a garden and then the tight landlord who didn't want to pay. Needless to say that being such a kind family, I put in a bit extra and wrestled a better price off the demon landlord who professed to be up against it money wise as he begged at me through gold teeth, driving away in his customised Audi S something or other. Anyways I left the job with another curry that his Wife insisted on me taking and I cant wait to tuck into it tonight, me and my Missus. SO all is well that ends well. Nice people! Good to finish today, as I am actually struggling to think what I could do with the 5 mattresses and various metal work, my prayers are answered as I flag down some rubbish collector guys, grease the wheels by way of a £20 note and manage to contact some scrap guys to collect the metal, everything just fell into place, even these two bags of green waste got collected as I saw some tree fellers across the road and got them to take it. haha! All worked out Then as I am making my way toward my Trampervan and weighed down by various garden equipment, I had a lit cigarette in my mouth puffing away, then suddenly a down and out accosted me and motioned as if he wanted a cigarette. Not having any left, I try telling him through a cigarette holding mouth that it was my last and before I know it, he is pulling it from my lips! Not having any spare hands to fend him off and in danger of stabbing myself in the eye with a rake, I let him take it. I then said to him in what must have been a pissed off voice, "you do realise you have just stolen a cigarette right out of my mouth mate!" He goes to give it back but I let him have it. Everyone in the breakfast cafe are laughing whilst shaking their heads incredulous, me joining in the head shaking proceedings. That was a first for me, I have never been mugged in my life until now and by an old soak to cap it off :) Hope everyone is well! PEACE Less
