Unhappy And now there will be two

I have kept my mock up build under a sheet in the corner of the yard away from prying eyes and time wasting mates that like to drink gallons of my coffee. I uncover it when i have an hour or two so i can crack on which i was doing the other day, I heard "alright mate put the kettle on " looked round and its my mate Guy "WTF is that" he said , so after a gallon of tea and wasting an hour of my time he said order me one. So now i have to build two, i wouldnt mind but he has got two left feet wher his hands belong and he uses my beloved snapon ratchet as a kin hammer and screwdrivers as lever bars. Has anyone got a stool and a bit of rope they can lend me.

Rob you need to have 2 different brands of coffee in the work shop, I had this problem with the landlord just give him the crap coffee. As for the issue of now having to build two cars I can't see that being a problem after all they are built on a budget, just means your bill will have bigger numbers in it which is fine by me Any news on that diff yet?

You lot are assuming that my mates would know the difference between good coffe or bad. I dont know for sure but i reckon i could knock up a coffee using the water from the quenching bucket and they would be none the wiser.

When I started as an apprentice I was given tea making duty, but it only lasted a week, I was banned from the tea pot. As one that doesnt drink tea I didnt know you had to REMOVE the old tea bags and not just add a fresh one for every other pot made. I think the final straw was when I added coffee to it to make it a bit darker as they were complaining that it looked weak. Never had to make the tea again
