caddymanI think that someone is going to arrive at the Carpathia sometime on Saturday and give me a quote for the supply and installation of a TV aerial. I think that if I am happy with the quote, they will do the work there and then.
This is all qualified by the word “think” because just before lunch I received a call on my mobile from a Scottish Accent. Now I know, or have known, over the years my fair share of Scots and in each case I have found their accents to be quite intelligible, be they west coast brogues, guttural Glaswegian or vowel-mangling Highlander. I was pretty much defeated by Scottish Accent however. I managed to take down a job reference, but was defeated by the telephone number on three attempts, thus rendering the former pretty much pointless. If it is the same bloke who turns up on Saturday, I may pretend to be slightly deaf so he doesn’t think that the constant “ehs, pardons and come agains?” are a sign of congenital idiocy.
They may well be, but I don’t want him to know that.
