Do they think we are mugs?

Perhaps, after news of our scrap metal walking out of the door got out, people now think we are a soft touch. But if you really want to rip us off you are going to have to try harder than "Stephen" from Uganda's famous Entebbe Top View Inn. So famous that it does not show up on google. Stephen asked us to quote for a couple of boilers for the inn and then sent us a cheque.



For some reason he generously sent us a cheque for £2500 even though the invoice is for just £1277.80. Barclays confirm that the cheque is counterfeit and have passed it on to the fraud department. For the time being we are having a bit of fun at Stephen's expense and are stringing him along with all sorts of encouragement. Just hope he doesn't have a big mate here in England.



Today's birthday boy is assembly worker Lee Moore (above). Keen golfer Lee (29) has only been with us for a few months so I don't know him well yet but, in the Instanta tradition, he has a relation (machine tester cousin Andy Fyles) on the workforce who introduced him to us. I hope Lee has a great day and gets a good score on the inevitable round of golf.

And here are directors Nick and Dave who somehow got missed from the photos of the night at the dogs.
