I was filling up the works Land Rover in the garage the other day when a Transit stops next to me, a chap in a checked shirt with an Irish accent appears and offers to sell me some "cheap" generators, or a set of kitchen knifes???
I declined when i noticed his wedgey haircut and the waft of tarmac coming from the rear of his van. He then asked if i could "spare" him some diesel as he was running low. I was now getting concerned, so quickly payed for the diesel in the Landy and shot off, sharpish. At no point did i notice 2 dogs tied together in the field next to the garage, and luckily was not hit by a chicken on the drive back to the yard, but i was abit worried i'm just glad i'd bought some lucky heather the day before.
Anybody else had any recent issues?

I was laying a concrete drive way to my house in France when up pulls a large 4x4 , big guy gets out , wedge hair cut , huge hands and speaks french in an Irish accent . He also had some cheap generators , left over from a show and didn't want to transport them back , the irony that I'm laying a drive and he wasn't selling Tarmac services ! Didn't tell him that at the time though !

I was in a petrol station in Aberdeen recently and a pick-up drove in and an Irish chap asked me if I wanted to buy some generators left over from a show.
Is this like morphic resonance of travelling people?
Yesterday I pulled up at the the barbers and as I crossed the pavement some young scaly came up to me and asked "if I wanted to buy iPad". Instead of just saying no, next time I think I will ask "Where he stole it from?"
I have been offered generators in the past, and had other mates comment on this. It does seem a rather odd thing to ask. How many people need generators. I presume it is some kind of stock phrase and do wonder if there is some hidden meaning. Perhaps a little like Masonic handshakes perhaps? Perhaps I should express an interest is buying a dawge and see what happens.

I'd have said yes just out of curiosity as to how he was going to turn me into an I-Pad! Martin4x4 said:

I wondered this a few weeks past. I was outside cleaning my toys and a newish silver van pulled up with a chap in it wearing a suit. Although there was a hint of an Irish accent to him but fairly well spoken non the less. I was expecting him to want directions however he simply asked if I needed a power washer. I said no thanks. “How about a generator then”. Still I refused and he went on his way. It was a bit odd really. Perhaps he really was a wondering generator/power washer salesman.colonel c said:

Simple: wondering what you were doing cleaning your ''toys' 
outside That and the possibility of there being a group hiding in your bushes and the effect they may on his ringpiece.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
