got into work this morning and was given the task of finding out who was having an organised bonfire this year and asking if they would like some free good wood for it (wooden crates)..delivered and unloaded at the site of bonfire..
I thought easy peasy...done in no time..how wrong was I ?
sat for 3 hours infront of a computer getting phone numbers and calling folk from a pub in pendleton (who no longer do them) to witton park in blackburn, scout group in chorley, burnley council who said no thanks even accrington cricket club who said basically no as well
I really couldnt believe it - that no one wanted any wood for their bonfires..
when I was a kid the main thing at this time of year was to get as much wood as you could and get your 'bonny' ready for the big day..it was a street thing where all kids joined in..
how times have changed
...
you cant even give it away nowadays ..
anyone else found this? or is it just me..? playstations and computers have alot to answer for !
