I had to look twice!

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

I had to look twice!

Postby 9fingers » 23 Nov 2017, 11:49

In searching for a source of advice on a matter spanning finance, tax and company law I came across the following company of lawyers

https://www.wrighthassall.co.uk

Now maybe Mr Wright and Mr Hassell are so absorbed in their business affairs that they have not stepped back to look at their business name as outsiders would, OR they have a good sense of humour, chosen it in spite the knowledge that it might put off some clients.

Well it brightened my day!

Would you want to do business with a company that were a right hassle to deal with.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Funny you mention that but I've been keeping quiet, but I have finally succumbed to life and GALMI to finish off the outside bits (digging out the stone backfill that the builders used to support the scaffolds so I can put topsoil in for beds, finishing stripping back the recycled window frames for painting etc).

Window cills are now in place and I just need to point up around the bricks I had to take out to fit them. Need to add the scraps of 4" insulation into the RSJ cavities to clad that then put the final plasterboard sheets up to cover that then the insides can get a paint and we're flying!

Electrics will be done with my mate when we have some time but I have enough sparkery in there to be able to alarm and light it so can move in as soon as the aforementioned are done. He won't be back until next Friday now but should get a few days at it to finish then!

Burgess & McLean , and a process server called Jack Russel Ltd . Then was/ is the local chippes near here Bodgit & Scarper .

Love it .
