No, not really. At least, there isn't a financially viable means of doing so. You can get people to sign non-disclosure agreements, but you can't reasonably get into this sort of discussion when you just muscle up to some company with an unsolicited idea. Indeed, if they say "Oh, we thought of that ages ago", what can you really say? All you can do is hope that they might act reasonably if they decide to adopt your idea. It's a very long shot, but my view is that you should have your finger in many pies. You might pull out a plum from one of them. Also it's fun. What use is an idea that just stays in your brain and what value does it have there? None. So it's a bit like generating your own lottery tickets.
Shit myself when I let a customer rag my xkrs ! What a beast the xkrs is, turns heads everywhere what a sound from the V8 !
yesterday morning, i drove to the opposite end of town, to rescue a car thats smacked a wall and jammed his sill cover under his car.(the AA don't do accident recovery) carefully remove sill cover and get him to come round to the workshop so i can attempt to refit it. he turns up this morning. he is working in the area and demands immediate service. fit it, nice job considering what i was working with. make a wee advisory on the bill that it's a temporary repair (you need to these days) present the fella with a bill of £40+vat, for every thing all in. he gets all arsy why should he pay for a temporary repair.? well he doesn't have to pay, as i have just ripped it off drove car to the end of the street and jammed it back under his car. i am in no mood for chancres. are they all like that in tamworth?
Have you really done this? That is brilliant! For god's sake, what do you normally get for 40 quid these days, a donut? Customers are a pain in the arse!
bloody right i did. i am of short fuse the now. he is so lucky it didn't go through his windscreen along with his puss.
god, they make you mad. just mind that when someone behind a service desk gets funny when raising a concern, the trade gets hammered by these chancres, weekly. just had the hotel on on the phone that recommend me, he has been up there mouthing off. they have offered to pay the bill as way of apology. no need says i. put in the pool competition fund. the LANCASTER HOTEL OBAN. cheep, clean good service. :smile:
went swimming in the Lanzarote sea this morning. A bloke on the beach said that the hotel discharges waste there, but it seemed fine to me
I got ten texts today asking me for hot sex tonight. I wouldn't have minded, but I'd borrowed the wife´s mobile for the day.
if you do the cam belt in my TT will i have to pay for that as it will need done again in another 40k miles ?
Had a nap. Doing my first night shift tonight for about 8 years. 22:30 to 6:00. I'm going to be as grumpy as @finm tomorrow.
