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..

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

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
