Hello everyone - Mark Stewart - 04-05-2017
Hi All,
At 48, I'm an OAP kitchen designer with about 30 in the industry. Worked for many years for the big sheds. Thanks to them and their customers I've lost most of my hair, sanity and two legs (although I can't really blame them for that).
Now working for a small local shop. Its great saying yes to customers instead of years of saying Noooooo, when ever they asked for a simple alteration to a unit or getting a wall removed.
Over the years I've designed kitchens in all sort of properties from windmills to boats, £5million penthouses to 22nd floor council blocks (the last two while working at B&Q Peckham).
It's great to read stories from other people, you always think you get all the awkward jobs and customers!
Cheers,
Mark

Always good to share stories....think we've all got a few of those.

Welcome Mark
48 is no age, just ask snezza, stretch, windmill, andy and I. Although some of us have had big hills, on our paper rounds.
50 is the new 40.

I love awkward jobs, awkward customers on the other hand! I've got one at the moment, lets hope it's worth it.
Regards,
Mark

Yes loads,
While working out of Old Kent Road B&Q.
I was at a customers flat when all of a sudden the door was smashed and the Police ran in. I felt a right dick standing there with my tape measure as the place was being searched for drugs. It took 20 minutes before they let me go after checking ID and contacting my boss.
Talking about dicks I've seen a couple of those too. Never seen a completely naked women on my visits but bloody naked men. Why me?
Cheers,
Mark
