another one of jeds daft trading stories...
the mrs to be sold a corner unit via ebay (buy it now, cash on collection)
they arranged to pic it up earlier tonight at 6...
at about 6.10 i seen a silver 3 door focus driving around my street looking lost. so i went out to see if it was him and he said yes... came down the side of the house to help me carry it out to the car (in two pieces) he said to me he wasn't sure how much it was as hes picking it up for a family member. so i said '£X on collection pal' he said 'no probs' got the money out the car and gave me it, all was well and he left.
a further 10 mins later someone turned up in a red modus saying they've come to pick it up 
i explained all of the above and they genuinely looked confused. said they had agreed they were coming at 6 and apologised that they were late.
haha
WTF

i typed the postcode into my freshly updated tomtom but it wasn't recognising it, so the buyer and my lass agreed im to meet the buyer next to the school only a street or two from their house...
so i went to the school and parked up thinking 'were the fuck are they'...
i then noticed a young (about 18ish) year old lad walking towards my car so i wound the passenger window down and said "alrite" he got in the car and as i said "your house far from here like?" he said "is Sandra ok? why didnt she come"...
we both looked at each other very fucking puzzled thinking WTF!!   
i then briefly explained im delivering a bed frame for ebay are you not they buyer? as he dived out my car faster than the speed of light with fear in his eyes he said "n n noo, im waiting for my auntie, sorry mate, sorry!!"
full of but funny as fuck
