I did hear of an actor complaining that the camping shop in Stratford-upon-Avon had an ad reading "now is the discount of our winter tents", which made it very difficult for him to do Richard III with a straight face.
- nope I'm still waiting for requirements
But I am spending my time familiarising myself with work already done and working out exactly how much a minute I'm earning.
My customer did say it will be a slow start to this project, but the team are nice, and they sell reasonable coffee nearby.
I was greeted with suprise when I arrived on Monday morning as there was 2 whole inches of snow on the ground! They didnt expect me, but I travelled down on Sunday, so as to be in on time on Monday.
We're used to snow up north
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

I know what you mean. I used to work in Farnham and on a roundabout on the edge of town there was a place that sold garden sheds.
The guy who ran it used to sling up the most corny (but funny) advertising hoardings outside.
My favourite was his Christmas campaign - "Rudolph the Shed Nosed Reindeer" - featuring a cardboard cutout of a shed with a red nose stuck on.
Then there was "Feeling depressed, fed up, bored of life? Go on, treat yourself, buy yourself a shed!"
I had so many near misses negotiating that roundabout on my way home some evenings.
