I watched a program on that very subject done in the USA. I could not believe the things they were picking up off the road, cooked and then ate. I'm surprised you need such a book now you have a Tesco supermarket at last built in Crediton. I know meat was scare there before, but that new Tesco's have lots and lots of it.  |

We had many complaints about our new bin service here in the Bay when it was recently changed and rightly so. But the service over this Christmas has been excellent and has been collected on all the right days and we are as good as rubbish free at our home.

I don’t know about road kill, but I feel like some boss kill today. How it works at Toolfix is very straight forward. While I’m out on say a Monday in Dorset and Somerset calling on our customers in those counties, that lot back at the unit repair machines for the customers I call on Tuesdays, IE North Devon. I come back on a Monday afternoon and do a run sheet adding the repaired tools to it. Ones done after I have gone home get added by those who have done the repair.
So on the 23rd December 2010 I get asked to get back by 12pm as we were closing early and going over to the café for a breakfast. I got back and the run sheet for the day we retuned from the Christmas break was already done and I just looked at it to see what calls were on it.
The run sheet was even dated and so this morning I got up very early after enjoying nearly two weeks of getting up when I pleased and headed into work. Got the van loaded and headed up for North Devon believing all the others would be turning up for work about two and a half hours after I had set off.
Around 9am I called into a BP garage in Barnstaple to fill the van up with fuel, got to the pay desk and shock and bloody horror the number of the pin code for my BP card would not come into my head.
I use it everyday normally, but after two weeks off I just could not remember it. I had three go’s and that was it, the card was rejected. So I phone Toolfix and no answer so I phone one of the bosses on his mobile. Well he wants to know why I’m working today and why I’m in Barnstaple and I told him I wanted to know that as well. Seems we were all off until the 5th Jan and not the 4th.
I had to pay for the fuel using my own bank card and the boss said “ I think you might as well carry on working for the day and maybe you can have another day off sometime” I know there’s not much chance of that happening and told him he could think again. I said I was heading back for Newton Abbot and going home to enjoy the rest of what should be my last day of my Christmas holiday.
They must have got it wrong and when they realised (sometime after we broke up) forgot to tell me as the milkman delivered two pints today at the unit. I will be making my feelings know tomorrow when I get back in the afternoon; only problem for tomorrow is no machines have been repaired for me to take out, so I may just enjoy a nice drive around the South Hams.
