**please help**
It was a particularly warm Autumn if I remember correctly. The project, a huge period barn conversion in the Peak District.
Coming to the end of the contract, I felt quietly confident of a "proper result" ensuing.
Throughout our journey John had been a treasure, I had regularly rescued him from infinite car breakdowns, drunken behaviour, and general don't give a s**t attitude.
Now I saw this as a challenge not a problem.
Ok, three weeks left. A massive vaulted ceiling all rolled into the walls to complete and job done. Plenty of organic curves (think Robert Bruno ).
The area was prepped on Saturday ready for Monday and John had a very positive attitude going on; it was somewhat dis-concerting but I figured his six pack was lined up with his mental awaiting his return.
The usual payday ceremony occurred, but this pay day was special for John, it was the accumulation of 4 months Saturdays which he asked to be held back plus the weeks pay.
Pleasant John stepped out of the van with a somewhat larger than normal pay packet (and smile), he had worked it so its due and wasn't resented.
Monday arrives with a sunshine smile and I leave for the barn with a skip and jump.
However this skip and jump soon vanished as pleasant John had skipped the country and left me in the proverbials.
So if anybody comes across pleasant John; I think you will find him in a Spanish prison in Malaga for attempted drug importation, would you give him a good kick in the b*****ks for me; although I figure a kick there is the least of his worries with his new found buddies.[h=1][/h]
