Important warning!

Postby Who? on Fri May 16, 2008 9:45 am

Potential B & Q Scam

I'm not usually one for posting warnings about potential scams but I had
a close call yesterday.

I walked into B&Q hardware store at lunchtime and some old guy dressed
in a black shirt with an orange apron on asked me if I wanted decking.

Fortunately, I got the first punch in and sorted the b***** out. Those
less suspecting might not be so lucky.

Pass this warning on.

How did you determine that he was going to swindle you?

Oh jinjin, it's just a joke email I received this morning and thought I'd pass it on (I've got to watch myself today - I'm getting misunderstood left, right and centre!)

In the UK 'decking' is a flooring used in garden patio areas, but it's also a colloquial term for hitting someone - "I'm gonna give him a right decking!"

I didn't really hit anyone - I think I'll resign from FF before evryone thinks I'm a nasty yob :wink:

Thought it was quite funny! I did laugh.
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
He stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
Withering they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass is gone

I laughed too but more so at the two nations divided by a common language :lol:
If men had breasts, would we ever leave the house?
If it's such a small world, how come I've never met Kylie?

Decking has the same 2 meanings here too.

Cute joke. :lol:
