The father looked on idly and the mother was only concerned that her little brat might get dirty hands. No remonstration, no concern about the fact the the plants were rendered unsaleable. I could barely contain myself and bellowed "Don't do that!" causing the child to jump and then start wimpering. The mother was about to respond, but stopped as I barked that she was nurturing a future moron and vandal. They hurried away with the father muttering " huh - they're only plants for ***** sake..." That's the great British public for you nowadays. And then there was the nutcase who let his golden retriever swim in the fish pond..........! That's easy - just put up a warning sign about the sharks :-) Don't you talk about our staff like that! ;-)) Blokey won't do it again - I've never seen Ray that angry before or since but he was incandescent that day. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
