Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
A guy walks into a bar and notices he's the only one there, apart from the barman, who's on the phone. The barman signals him that he'll be with him in a minute. The guy nods and bellies up to the bar to wait. Suddenly, he hears a little voice say, "Hey, you're looking pretty sharp today. New suit?"
The guy looks around but can't see anyone else in the place. He hears the voice again. "Seriously...you are looking good, chum. Have you lost weight?"
The guy looks around again and still doesn't see anyone. "Hello?" he asks. "Is someone speaking to me?"
"You bet! I just had to say that I thought you were looking just super!" A bunch of other tiny voices suddenly rose in agreement.
The guy realizes now that these voices are coming from a bowl of beer nuts on the bar in front of him. He stares at them as the barman finally hangs up and comes to serve his only customer.
"What'll you have?" asks the barman.
"What?... Oh, a pint of ale, I guess", mutters the guy, still staring at the nuts.
He finally looks up at the barman drawing his pint. "What's the deal with these nuts?" he asks.
The barman brings the guy's pint over and sets it before him. "They're complimentary", he shrugs.
