Och, yer a hard taskmaster!!!!
Im totally honest when it comes to pricing jobs, I dont rip people off & im really fussy on finishes. When people make you
think that they are getting done over puts up a red flag to me. No matter how perfect the job is they will try to beat the price
down & try there hardest to find a way not to pay the original quote, they no want to pay so I walk away.
When I was working with wingnut we went to price up a roofing job & the price was 2k & the chap said could we do it for
1200 I said nope im not interested then wingnut piped up aye ok. I said im not doing it so you can crack on mate if you want
to do it. About 6 weeks later I got a text (Sat morning in June) asking if I was starting a roof repair ?? No mate whos this.....
its Joe for the purposes of the tape lol..... No mate Joe who, bla bla bla.....
Me ....No sorry Pal im working on a job.
Joe... When are you doing mine.
Me... Im not
Joe... You were to start mine today.
Me... No your mistaken Pal im on a pub refit.
Joe... When will you be finished

^&***$$£%^&** &&&*()_(*&&^%%$$$$££^^%$££"!!!!!!"£$$%^&**((()))____)(*&^^%$$£"!!!!!!

Just for a laugh!
My noo son in law and some of the stuff he does for the travelling community who are very big on funerals.
Not to everyone's taste, and not very big really either compared to some stuff he does, like for the War Graves commission at the arboretum, (he has met the Queen a few times.)
But the intricacy of the "fretwork" shows what amazing stuff you can do with stone, with the help of pooters of course!

No I was only joking, as I'm sure you know. Always thought you were a straight up bloke.Im totally honest when it comes to pricing jobs, I dont rip people off & im really fussy on finishes. When people make you

Naw, just catching up as we've been without tinternet since we arrived.You've been busy on 'ere today, has the telly packed up??
The basin no longer leaks and I have fetched the machine and the sack truck, chatted to the neebs who look after it and got their opinion on the nextdoor crew and their tree topping. Did a tiny bit of gardening so that the gates can be fastened back. Moved the trailer around which is a pain in such a tight space and involved unhitching it with the vehicle and it making a right angle then getting to the other side of it and rehitching again at a right angle before being able to put it where I wanted it.
Helped W with a rather large hand washing up and cooked my dins, a curry, while she cooked hers, kidneys in a cream and brandy sauce with a few other bits. Scorched the Naaan bread a bit!
Buit we did allow ourselves to indulge in quite a bit of email correspondence and chatting!
And we don't have Frog telly, it is total poop!
