You don’t need to I’ve spoken to him

got a call on the house phone a few weeks back from a ‘foreign’ sounding chap asking the bride about selling my Daewoo, so she calls me as she didn’t want to give my mobile number to him and gave me his number. Now my machine was parked on a site a few miles away and I’d not been to it for a couple of weeks.
Now my head is spinning with, who the hell is after my machine, has it been stolen from my site and is now up for sale, so now I’m on my way to site to see if it‘s still there, and the number I have of this ‘foreign’ chap is just ringing .
Anyway I arrive to find the duck still sat there so on my way home still trying to call the guy and he picks up ‘result’ so quizzed him on what the wanted.
So happens he’s after Daewoo or doosan ducks and while trawling the web found this picture that I’d posted here so also on google search

googled the name on the side of the machine and found me on companys house website call my account as that is my registered address who then gave my ‘office’ number too ask me on the of chance if I would like to sell it so mystery solved too be fair seemed a decent enough chap and asked if I knew of any machines for sale

Because you can fix them with a bag of spanners no need for diagnostic computers. Ideal for the environment they are working in.
