A LOCAL odd job man has been forced to admit that certain tasks are too big or small for him.
Despite large writing on his van that claims otherwise, handyman Julian Cook has had to accept that the size of a job would become an issue in extreme cases.
Cook said: “Last week someone rang up and asked if I would come to their garden and move a twig six inches to the left.
“I’m not sure if they were taking the piss but I was not prepared to do that.”
Cook also admitted that if he were asked to paint the inside of something massive like the CERN Large Hadron Collider he would have to refuse.
He said: “It’s just me with a stepladder really, so I probably couldn’t paint an entire particle collider, although I might be able to recommend a larger firm that could.
“This is hard stuff for me to admit, because my entire personality is based on a flexible, can-do approach to practical tasks. It’s a bit like finding out there is no God.”
