I just had to share this … everyone has heard about the legendary Swiss efficiency but this just stunned me…
My wife was home sick yesterday and I got a phone call about 11.30 from her… a delivery lorry had just backed into the house ripping off about fifteen feet of guttering, tearing off the fascia (sp=?) board and damaging probably about 20 sq foot of roof tiles.
Luckily our landlord happened to be there to witness it ( we rent space on an old farm ) and according to mrs. G she learned some interesting new words ( in french ) as exchanged between our landlord and the lorry driver.
BUT.. the amazing part?
I heard noises on the roof at 7.50 this morning…there was already a repairman working on the roof!!! I don’t know how long it would take just to get someone to look at our roof down in Cornwall… gawd forbid something should happen.
