Ronald the Repairman


If you've ever thought you've had a bad day at work then have a read of this. Poor Ronald tries hard, but fate is working against him.

This story was obviously written in a rush. A quick proofread before posting could have done wonders. Ignoring this though the story is funny. Just when you didn't think anything worse could happen to Ronald it does.

This is another story that highlights the importance of research. TV antennas don't use electicity. Mrs Periwinkle seems overly spry at the end for the description given at the start.

All of these are only minor flaws that don't really detract from the story. It's a short story yet catches the essence of tradespeople everywhere. It's worth a read and a laugh.
