of mine, wishing to buy two trailers for export to his own country, today approached at my suggestion a company that is probably known to many of your readers.
As English is not my friend's first language. he asked me to check with the firm in question that he had understood the details.
I called the firm and asked if there was any more information about the two trailers under discussion.The respondent said "no" and 1 suggested that we did not really want to come to Cheshire from London without first seeing a picture of the units or at least having a description enabling us to look at a similar piece of equipment. His response? "Oh, f*ck off!"
How I wish in my business I had so many customer enquiries that! could tell the ones who wanted details to f*ck oft The second-hand commercial vehicle market must indeed be a lucrative one.
