How it all began from day 1 – This is what made me morph into Victor Meldrew …

When we first opened Roses & Garters as a wedding centre the idea was to offer advice for brides to be on all aspects of the wedding from invitations to venues & suppliers.

Naturally we were asked to run wedding exhibitions for local hotels… –
So the big day comes & we’re there early to oversee the setting up process. The exhibitors start to arrive & being the new boy ( as it’s Sam’s shop etc… ) I offer to help the exhibitors to unload their cars & take their stuff up the steps & into the venue. After a few times of doing this like a little pack horse ( pause for breath of fresh air & have a cigarette ) … More exhibitors arrive & Sherpa Tensing springs to action …

• Q – Would you like me to give you a Hand ?
• A – No thanks I’ve done this hundreds of times & my stuff is highly breakable I wouldn’t trust you.

So that’s fine by me I’m happy with my fag ( thinking to myself snotty cow but smiling politely )
After one step she tripped & dropped the box – strange sound of breaking glass fills the air – She exhibited one cracked vase with a couple of battle scarred flowers in, some squashed favours & a box of broken glass.
At the end of the day she demanded her money back as she had taken no orders all day – I can’t think why !!

Moral of the story – Never look a pack horse in the mouth & be a stuck up …

Welcome to My World …

Sam told me I couldn’t put some of the funny things that have happened to us on the website – so I’m going to put them here instead.
Not all at once though – One at a time just to tease you !!

What do you mean …“I don’t believe it” … … !!

Here’s me singing on the way to work in the mornings !!
