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

I am not sure whether it was the French or the Merkins who invented mail order, but it is said that the Yanquis are very good at it.Me bike bits from the You Knighted States arrived this morning. Not bad, under a week from order to delivery from California. Anticipating some workshop time this week
so "les trois suisses" or Sear's catalogue. FIGHT!!!
You've been busy on 'ere today, has the telly packed up??
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

Funny story though. Wingnut, whata card , eh?!
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!
Watch your pension .Heard some unexpected news today, my missus wants a divorce (lived apart 10 years)
House to be sold so I could be coming in to some money as there was never a mortgage on it.
Decision time ..88 or 109
