Golf lessons , tennis lessons , personal fitness training etc the biggest racket going

my wife used to pay £110 for a personal fitness trainer for 2 hour session to come to our house

they literally spent the first hour chatting about their week

Ya tells 'em, but they don't listen!

I think that's all part of the modern generation... I know we were probably the same when we were youngsters, but not to the extent of the 'entitled' youth of today. I seem to remember that we were taught to respect experience and the elderly... now, all older people are not 'woke' enough to be listened to...

Second wet pants text us yesterday evening asking if his mate could pop round today to quote for the job

I asked why ? cant you give us your quote first , he never replied

seems odd really , perhaps too busy and just too small a job I’m guessing

So second wet pants + his carpenter buddy wanted nearly £3000 to fit a loo , sink and do a bit of flooring

Come to think of it he did actually look a bit like Rod Stewart wearing a bad wig and talked with a cockney accent

My pricing must be way off now I reckon, if wet pants are quoting £175-200 per hour the world has been spun in its head

How big is this bathroom, 3 grand sounds a bit excessive

How big is this bathroom, 3 grand sounds a bit excessive

Tiny , 2m x 2m usable floor space

bath is staying put, wife ordered a new side board type toilet / sink vanity she wants plumber in and new flooring

I think £3000 for 2 days Labour is too steep even for my area as we are suppling the actual flooring as well

If the two that turn up,are Roger Bisby,and Robin Clevett......it's a bargain....i'd pay ?
