I've bought a new fridge

[Uncle Mort]

Not for me, for the company kitchen.
 


I sit near the kitchen and the access to the goods lift so I'm currently sitting back watching them trying to take out the old one.

Shades of 'Right said Fred'

 

[Uncle Mort]

Doors off !

Halfway through trying to get the old fridge in the lift their mobile phone goes off. Of course they stop to answer it. Lift not happy.

'Twas on a Monday morning the gas man came to call.
The gas tap wouldn't turn - I wasn't getting gas at all.
He tore out all the skirting boards to try and find the main
And I had to call a carpenter to put them back again.

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Tuesday morning the carpenter came round.
He hammered and he chiselled and he said:
"Look what I've found: your joists are full of dry rot
But I'll put them all to rights".
Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights!

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Wednesday morning the electrician came.
He called me Mr. Sanderson, which isn't quite the name.
He couldn't reach the fuse box without standing on the bin
And his foot went through a window so I called the glazier in.

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Thursday morning the glazier came round
With his blow torch and his putty and his merry glazier's song.
He put another pane in - it took no time at all
But I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall.

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

'Twas on a Friday morning the painter made a start.
With undercoats and overcoats he painted every part:
Every nook and every cranny - but I found when he was gone
He'd painted over the gas tap and I couldn't turn it on!

Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.

On Saturday and Sunday they do no work at all;
So 'twas on a Monday morning that the gasman came to call...

Finally disappeared into the lift with the old fridge ~ now to await the arrival of the new one.

[Snoopy]

  Which may, of course, not show up until next week.

[Uncle Mort]

No, it is in the loading bay ~ same Mr Shifters.

[Uncle Mort]

New fridge just gone past. Three quarters of an hour after the old one left.

[Snoopy]

Tea Break I 'spect.

[Nick]

But the milk will have gone off

[Uncle Mort]

Just finished (!)
