Engineer - overbearing customers
Transcript
One lady we can call into mind is a house in the depths of Partridge Green and you'd go there and the door would be opened and there would be the butler and you would hear a deep lady's voice come from the depths saying 'who is it?' 'It's the telephone engineer madam' and 'what's his name?' And he would ask you a name and you'd say 'Bonsall, it's Bonsall madam'. 'Well tell Bonsall to come in and he's to take his shoes off and put the plimsolls on'. So you would go into the porchway take your shoes off and put the plimsolls on and then you would go in and you would clear the fault or make a start on the fault and then she'd come in and she said 'You're Bonsall'. 'Yes madam'. 'Well Bonsall, stop what you're doing and go in the kitchen and get your dinner'. And you didn't say 'no madam'. You went into the kitchen and there the cook had prepared you a dinner and you sat down and ate it and then when you'd finished you went back and carried on with the fault.
