John the Joiner - all joinery and woodwork undertaken. No job too small.

Great. I'll give him a call.

Hello. Is that John the Joiner?

Yes. How can I help?

Can you give me a quote please to suppy and fit two interior doors?

Ooooo no, sorry. I don't hang doors.

But the ad said no job too small.

Sorry mate. As I said, I don't hang doors. I've got a number for Jack the Joiner.
He'll probably do it for you.

Ok. Thanks.

Hello. Is that Jack the Joiner?

Yes. What can I do for you?

Can you give me a quote please to supply and fit two interior doors?

Draws in breath through pursed lips. Sorry. I don't hang doors but I know someone who will probably do it for you. It's Jimmy the Joiner. Thsi is his number.

Thanks.

You do a tell a story in a roundabout way ;)

Actually it must have been quite frustrating. Only saving grace they all had was to own up to no skills in joinery.

Maybe like a friend of mine who, back in the day served his appreticeship installing suspended ceilings and got his papers anyway.

Between them they should be able to supply and fit a revolving door :-)

Thanks for the replies folks. Believe it or not, the above OP is actually true. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty!
