Big Ask

Have you needed to make a big ask, but not sure what you are asking, also, would the folks around you realise the ask was big?, just wish Arthur Askey was still here, maybe he would know!

Re: Big Ask

Nothing outrageously out of the ordinary in my personal life. But professionally I had to make many.

Yes - because it is! Too much lazing about in LTP.

Yes - once - had been home for a week - came back to find my immersion tank in the loft had emptied itself all over my sofa via the sitting room ceiling! Had to ask a friend if she would lend me the £600 needed to replace it and make good the damage - just until my next payday. Thankfully - she did!

Didn't like having to ask though.

Crikey, I’m surprised you weren’t insured, ST.

I was/am - but it takes forever to sort out insurance and I needed immediate action to stop the ceiling falling down on me! The work was done and the debt to my friend repaid before the Insurance people had their act together.
