I just realised that I have just emailed the manager of HSBC Maidstone. I told her that she was a sweetie and That she would never know how much I appreciated all she does for me. Sighning off "love you lots, James"

oh bollocks, is all I can say about it at the moment

get on the phone and make an appointment to see her on wednesday, to discuss the possibility of a new car loan.

I think your chances are good. Take flowers to consolidate your position.

I have just lent a pair of Wellies to a prospective house purchaser, and he asked what they were. I also used Wellies as an example of allowable clothing expenditure for a client who is a farmer

In both cases Outlooks autospell changed it to "Willies" and I only noticed when they queried my advice :o

Had a manager once who wanted to take action against one of the staff for feigning sickness. So he e-mailed the HR dept with all sorts of wild accusations asking for permission to start disciplinary and accidentally copied this woman in. Turned out she was really sick and had to have an operation. Epic fail on all counts.

Once cc'd everyone in my address book by mistake on a work email, and one of my Uni mates, then in OZ replied, to everyone, pissed up, totally abusive...Nearly got sacked.

I used to have a young and attractive client, she was awfully propper. There was a big rush up to Christmas and I was trying to organise our workload, not wanting to miss anythining before the company shut down for Christmas. I emailed this client saying.
"Hi Pippa, I'm desperately trying to get my dick in a row, can you look at the list attached and let me know if I've missed something"
It was my wife who picked up the mistake, but it was be who had to rectify things .:mental:

Richly deserved for using such appalling business-speak cliches in the first place. Bet you had to do a bit of blue-skies out of the box thinking to get out of that one!

I dont use e mail that much for work , but text a lot because I can let people know things or ask questions , as I think about it , as I go about the farm work.
Now , I dont get the bow wave of text jokes I used to get ,but a few yrs ago I had a joke that went something like -'A survey says that 1 out of ten people who are overweight , have a higher iq than such and such (can t recall the first bit ) The punch line was 'So pop yourself on the scales you fat bastard ,and let me know what you weigh ' !! I always recall that bit .
Sent it to a very posh chap up our road ,I deal with , by mistake :stalks:(I harrow his wifes grass bits for her hoss) . I never send him jokes.
Must have included his number somehow ,because I got a text back saying 'I know I am '!!:rolleyes:

He never mentioned it the next time I was up there

:D
