Your method of handling non paying customers?

[Geordie Spark]

don't really have many issues with non payment tbh. on the odd occasion, a stern letter along the lines of if non payment, debt collectors will be contacted does the trick.

I take it that for the benefit of the non-Jocks among us you translated that from its original " Och! aahl be seein ye Jimyee. Thistles up yer kilt, porridge in yer sporran, treacle in yer bagpipes an' a caber up yer jacksie'!!"

erm, nae quite Geordie! I'm English remember, so probably couldn't speak that level of Scottish to be fair. maybe I just have honest customers. very rarely get non payment. I have the odd, as I'm sure we all do, that always push the time limit to the max, and occasionally stretch it a few more days, but I know who they are and I know I will always get it. never had to get 'heavy' with anybody for non payment.

My apologies to you my Friend.

That was a classic example of assumption being the mother of cock up.

I have no issues with Jocks BTW in fact I like them - they are similar to Geordies and thankfully nothing like bloody Scousers or Cockneys.

The paramedics came to visit me the other morning - two meat wagons and four paramedics - how's that for overkill? Anyway, one of them was a very pretty young Scots lassie who had a very nice pair of personalities that I enjoyed chatting to.

haha. I'm a sucker for Irish lassies when they talk.probably the reason I like my dentist so much... she's also f***ing hot! Hmm, mebbe That's the reason :/
as for the 2 meat wagons at your house, maybe they just know what you're like..?! and four paramedics does sound a tad overkill if I'm honest.

Yes, if I'm honest I like an Irish accent on a ls as well - as long as it's not a Belfast accent.

Coincidentally, a couple of years ago I was a patient of a lady Irish dentist, but she moved somewhere else ..... I'm now wondering if yours is the same one!

if her name was Rachel, then possibly..!

i take a fence at being compared to cockneyts. better yet i'll take a gate. it's easier to nick.

[Geordie Spark]

They's ok once you get them house trained, but it takes a long time.

I had a friend called Dave who was a Cockney. He was very humorous and very good company ................ nothing wrong with Southern boys at all! The women are a bit tricky though.

I thought it was them down there that sent them to try to bomb me Granny's air raid shelter.

She had it stuffed with coal & jerry cans of petrol.

She was a canny businesswoman ye knaa ...... A scouser by birth though.

When the war ended she was heartbroken cos as well as all the coal & petrol in the air raid shelter she had a dining and bedroom stuffed full of clothing, bedding, lingerie (that's knickers to you) and all kinds of things. She was the main supplier of all this sort of stuff for most of Geordieland and had a car (rare in those days) which my mother drove as her chauffeur. (Granny always sat in the back seat) to make deliveries to customers and then back to collect the moolah from them.

One day, they ran out of petrol somewhere near Byker and never lived it down .. an air raid shelter AND double garage stuffed with the stuff and they had none in the car!!!
