Just been called a F*****g Welshman , for trying to buy a front linkage PTO kit!

john432 · Sep 26, 2021

What is happening to this world, or its people? About 20 months ago I bought a front linkage and PTO kit from Symon Jacobsen of Scotland. The kit got delivered, all perfect, and I paid his invoice in full by the stated date..And stupidly as It has turned out have recommended him to others looking for front linkage kits.
A local friend/ farmer, wants a kit for one of his tractors, so have sent an enquiry , by text message, phoned the office, and left all the details on his What's app messages over the last three weeks or so
I could see that he had read the what's app messages, as the ticks turned blue.
This morning, What's app showed he was online, so I tried to voice call him, he duly rejected the call. Then he did a video call, I answered, the connection wasn't good, but I could see him, and he said " It's that f******g Welshman"
I better not put my reply message on here! Suffice to say he can stuff his linkage where the sun don't shine..

No offence but do u normally pester people on a Sunday morning?

Chae1 · Sep 26, 2021

I expect he's flat out lifting tatties.

A lot of rain forecast tonight and next week.

john432 · Sep 26, 2021

I've wasted three weeks trying to get even a response from him, all I needed was a sorry I can't supply you them any more. It's Sunday, fine he rejects my voice call, but it might remind him that I need dealing with.. it was him who choose to video call me back!

What's so wrong about following an earlier contact up on a Sunday Morning when your approaches seem to be being ignored ?

Chae1 · Sep 26, 2021

Try @Guy he was always good at getting back to people!

In my book Sunday’s are for emergencies only. Used to be classed as a day of rest. Phoning somebody about a trivial thing as front links price can surely wait until mon-friday

Blimey can't people talk or communicate in a civil manner anymore

I wouldn't take it personally. If you knew the person in question it's just his manner.

He wouldn't have been bothered about it being a Sunday he works 24/7.

It would just have been banter and someone took it the wrong way.

I got called a sasnak b@stard plenty of times when I worked in England and got told they were putting me back behind hadrians wall. Got similar abuse from Aussies when working there. It's just banter.

Sure theres 2 sides to the story. Always is @symon jacobsen

Could u get me a price for a zetor 12441 radiator please

Maybe you are a pain in the arse customer!
I wouldn’t take offence, your doing business, an if he can’t supply you then find someone else
Don’t take offence either it’s a waste of energy

mf7480 · Sep 26, 2021

Why are you so desperate to buy a front linkage from him to be hassling his phone on a Sunday morning? To be fair it was probably a complete accident he called you back and he’d probably be horrified to know he was heard saying what he did. We all say what we really think when there’s nobody listening don’t we

The Welsh do tend to ring on sundays in my experience.

It could’ve been a lot worse, he could have called you a f*****g saes!

Had a good look, can't even find part diagrams online for Zetors, John Conaty lists some rads, maybe contact them..or get your rad recore'd or repaired locally?

I can't see what the OP's problem is. I looked up his location and he is indeed a ffukin Welsh man.

mf7480 · Sep 26, 2021

I was going to say that- if he’s welsh and a nuisance he could indeed be a f****ng Welshman

Hilly · Sep 26, 2021

Surely just a sense of humour thing ?

Almost a fast show sketch there!

Ffermer Bach · Sep 26, 2021

I wonder if I went to Scotland and started calling people f...ing Jock, they would all say "just a bit of banter"

Just been called a F*****g Welshman , for trying to buy a front linkage PTO kit!
