The worst case I can remember was going to tune a piano at the home of tw=
o
old ladies. The day was quite hot and when arriving at the back door I co=
uld
immediately smell a VERY strong smell of dog urine and excrement.=0D
=0D
On entering the small hot house I noticed that all of the floors were
covered in sheets of clear plastic. The old ladies explained to me that t=
he
FOUR little dogs had been very naughty and preferred to piddle on the
carpets under the plastic rather than go out side!!!!=0D
=0D
Of course, they continued their piddling etc...but on top of the plastic
now!=0D
=0D
I managed to battle through the tuning, but I couldn't wait to get outsid=
e
and get a gasp of fresh air!!=0D
=0D
Second worst case scenario is having to tune a piano on a very hot day in=
 a
small room with the cats FULL litter tray alongside the piano....I nearly
spewed!!=0D
=0D
I'm sure that the rest of the Tuners "down under" would like to join me i=
n
wishing the List a merry xmas and a prosperous new year.=0D
