On chatting to a young Slater & Tiler yesterday (his hand was bleeding by the way) while picking up a newspaper, I asked him what he was working on as the weather was atrocious! He said that he’d been doing a few local slate repairs around town because it was too dangerous to work on his main contract (large, sheet work).
During further banter, he mentioned that he’d repaired the damaged roof of an old ladies house which was near to his main job, accepted a hot cup of tea, but politely refused any further payment – it is something he does now and then, if he can.
I came home with the paper and almost the first thing I read about was that more elderly people had been swindled out of a fortune by heartless crooks posing as roofers.
Funny old world!
