    Hi all, i will apologise now before i start….

    On Monday i spoke to a lady who owns a little hair salon with a very faded sign who wanted a cheap fix to brighten the sign up a little.

    So i went to have a look and it appeared that it was a 5mm white foam board sign with a printed but un-laminated section.
    I did suggest a new sign allowing her to create a new look but no…

    She said she simply wanted me to cover it with something similar but in red rather than the original blue….

    Anyhow i probably shouldn’t complain because she was happy with it and gladly paid the invoice…

    Okay rant over

    I wish I had problems like that – Clients who know what they want, and remember where their wallet is………. 😛

    Ditto, it won’t win any awards but sounded pretty straight forward and you got paid so – ‘Result’

    Personally I’m very dissapointed….

    When I read the title of this thread I was expecting to see a really good rant. Turns out it was hardly a rant at all.

    I reckon the quality of ranting has gone downhill on this forum these days 🙄

    I think the point Stephen was trying to make was he wanted the job of making a new sign instead of botching the old one.
    And Mr. Fenton, The only reason it’s quieter on here now is because our little grumpy friend left a while ago mate! 😉

    Yeh ranting ain’t what it used to be. I didn’t see one fucking in that rant. I don’t really think you can call it a rant unless there is at least one fucking in it.
