Offered Breakfast
111 Answers
I've never been offered breakfast on a job in my entire life.
Tea, coffee, yeah that's quite normal, and on reflection i once got offered a ham sandwich (i guess this is similar) but this morning i was offered a coffee (happily accepted) and a bacon butty!!!!!
I double took the nice (relatively old) lady after saying yes to the coffee with a "urmm, that would be delightful but you don't have to go through the trouble"
Nonsense she said (SCORE!!!) and she came back 5 minutes later with a Chris P Bacon sandwich, so i sat down with her for a couple of moments to sip the morning Joe and to destroy Chris P.. Now, back to trimming her bushes for the last time before winter.. Don't forget winter is coming ya'll get your plants ready
Would you accept such an offer or would you feel rude? Usually i would feel rude but in the moment it felt perfectly acceptable. I come here once a week so i've got to know the nice lady

On a break at the mo, I agree Scorpiojo ;) It would be rude to refuse!
And yes, we sat for about 7 minutes had a nice little morning chat, she told me her errands for the day and i said i'd do them all for her if i could, bless her. Butty was lovely, no broon but had some nice butter and thick homemade bread! :P
AuntLydia, she's a lovely lady, the kind that would give me £2 for the shops, makes a lovely butty and if she needed anything from me i'd help her out ;)
Kval i wouldn't expect less from a lady of your calibre, i recon hospitality comes naturally to you and your family
Eddie that sounds nice! If only she'd make me lunch.. ;) I kid i have a packed lunch!
Mally you're probably right, which is why i chose to sit and eat it with her instead of carry on work with one hand and eat with the other, only one other job after this one so i have time for her
Retro, i do outdoor work only, i usually refuse to enter the house unless you need to go through it to get to the back garden, part of my 'policy' to try and stay safe.. Even though she's a lovely "relatively old" lady, I still have no idea of her background or more details than her name and ex profession
And yes, i agree RR, i shall get back to work now!
