Paving the Way

As Gobby planned ever more garden improvements she contacted her local workman of choice re a particular job but was surprised to receive the following response:

"Nice of you to think of me but it is a bit far from Burnopfield."

Which, for the uninitiated, it somewhat is:

Realising her error and that something had gone profoundly awry with the 'S' entries in her contacts Gobby apologised profusely to a trusty old chum, a rare itinerant visitor to Barton Lives for those that remember the Tim Tam Slam saga, explaining the work requests should have been sent to the very local: 'Shaggy'.

However, undeterred and never one to turn down any port in a storm Gobby did follow this up with, "What are you like at paving anyway?"

And way highly impressed with the reply,


"I'M FANTASTIC, MR BOMBASTIC."
