possibly but possibly not . would have been a larf to send him away with a nos frame from the store charged to their company account or even showed him one from an old ride mag the lad couldave told them they existed then
and so we dont stray from topic . id been caught riding in the shop by elderly customers a few times on the 18"" wheel brakeless bmx id cobbled together after clearing all the display bikes to one side
A fellow worker ordered a Dekerf frame and was all excited when he saw the box had arrived.....................you should have seen his face when he pulled out a Universal frame covered in rust............................that we had put in the box instead ..................we had removed his frame earlier and coveted it before him..........
Can't go in to detail on this but there was this guy 'we' heard of that used to spend a mint on Ti frames and builds and fancy parts................'we' heard that he used to collect them in a blanket..........and carry them out so they would not touch the ground ..............these items were never ridden ! :shock:
Got to tell this one............sorry if the person involved is on here..............
We were all working away on a summers day when by christ there was a terrible smell...............the shop was full of customers................the manager looked on the floor and exclaimed ' my god a big dog has been in the shop and sh*t all over the floor'....there was a trail of poo all down the shop..........little piles of poo every where it seemed ! Panic set in and customers were ushered out of the shop...............while the manager started cleaning the mess up...........there was a lot of it !................i went to another shop to borrow a Vax / carpet cleaner....................AS i went out the door i noticed an old lady who looked very lost............she was in a nightgown..............and maybe a bit senile looking................the penny dropped...............as i continued up the street i saw the old lady being helped back towards the old peoples home.................to this day i have not been able to tell the guy that it was human poo he was clearing up ...........sorry
