Important warning!

Potential B & Q Scam

I'm not usually one for posting warnings about potential scams but I had
a close call yesterday.

I walked into B&Q hardware store at lunchtime and some old guy dressed
in a black shirt with an orange apron on asked me if I wanted decking.

Fortunately, I got the first punch in and sorted the b***** out. Those
less suspecting might not be so lucky.

Pass this warning on.
It's raining today too.

How did you determine that he was going to swindle you?

Oh jinjin, it's just a joke email I received this morning and thought I'd pass it on (I've got to watch myself today - I'm getting misunderstood left, right and centre!)

In the UK 'decking' is a flooring used in garden patio areas, but it's also a colloquial term for hitting someone - "I'm gonna give him a right decking!"

I didn't really hit anyone - I think I'll resign from FF before evryone thinks I'm a nasty yob :wink:

Thought it was quite funny! I did laugh.
Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
There’s never been an answer
There’s always someone else to follow.....

.......In a city made of sand
We found our way out
But without a helping hand
We’re free
