Got in from work a little while ago...get a knock at the door not long after and the missus goes and answers. Guy explains he came to see about the car for sale this morning but couldn't get an answer...piddled as a handcart, he wants to buy my Laguna...which hasn't been here since about 7:30am???

She politely told him it wasn't for sale but i feel i've missed a prime chance here...if he wants to buy a faded to pink 15 year old Laguna, with dents and rust and the bootspoiler held on with rope...would he of jumped at the chance for a good discount for cash!!!

I would assume he'd spent it all in the pub from the state my missus said he was in!!!

Iv bought loads of cars drunk, never underestimate the ability of alcohol to make a shed look good

I don't get it. Why did he think it was for sale?

I have not got a clue!!!. I'm expecting him to continue to walk around the estate whilst bladdered, as he has a bit of a swerve to the left going on...and be knocking on my door again shortly as he recognises 'that' car for sale again!

Like i say, it tickles me as he says he came knocking this morning about it...and me and the missus and #2 son had been out the house since about 7:30, #1 son out a bit later when he went to work...but he wouldn't of woken up for the door anyway!!!
:confused:

Oh I see! I didn't know what 'piddled as a handcart' meant

I thought it was in reference to the condition of the car.

As my wife said, shame we still don't have Max (our GSD) about the place. Although i think he would be in more danger from our psycho cat if he broke in tbh!
