Are you serious?

[DeeGee]

Six thirty tonight, Christmas Eve, when all businesses have closed and most people are either dahn the pub, or in my case, at home with their families, I get a phone call asking if I can supply two bales of hay.

Now, I don’t consider myself to be an unduly miserable soul.

Unlike Ebenezer Scrooge I do give to charity and and I close my premises at early afternoon on Christmas Eve, and I do wish people a Merry Christmas as I traipse through the falling snow and crunch my way across the farmyard to my home and to a roaring log fire and the bowl of hot punch that awaits me.

But it really does wind me up when some one who couldn’t organise a bonk in a brothel rings me after dark on Christmas Eve looking for two bales of hay. I should have said we are closed until Thursday. But in my most munificent charity I told them to ring me on Boxing Day morning. After some hesitation, the reply was ‘When’s that?’

As Tiny Tim said, ‘God bless us every one’.

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Wow!



Boxing day is the day to pick up the hay, I'm surprised they didn't know this?

Merry Christmas, DG

I do hope it was not a Mr Claus looking for rations for eight reindeer in full flight this evening?

 

[Paul E]

Was it the vicar wanting some for the nativity play because @Forage Trader would only supply Hesstons??

Perhaps they are Muslim? Rastafarian? Zoroastrian?

 

[JP1]

As a farmer most days are the same

 

[24/7 farming]

Just sitting down to Xmas eve tea last night when knock on the door, could I tow two cars off the road that had been in an accident. Was going to be a two hour wait for recovery and police couldn't leave until road was clear and no other cars could get thru. To be fair, only took ten mins and nobody was hurt so that's my good deed done for xmas!

Aye the sh!t was still to scrape out the cubical s at 5.30 this morning the same as every winter morning.

 

[FG.]

One of my liveries has just text to ask if her friend could come and buy some hay this morning, as her normal supplier wasn't very christmas'y in his reply to the same request.

 

[Kidds]

I got a distressed call yesterday afternoon to go out delivering.
I guess they are still distressed because I didn't go.

perhaps being a bit pedantic, at the time I don't think that was Christmas eve, or even christmas.
