I just spent about three hours measuring up a job....An
OAK! handrail and spindles. Ringing round getting the best price for the materials, calculating what was needed ect.
I phone back......
Harlequin: I've got the price for the handrail if you want it?
Customer: Oh Good. How much?
Harlequin: £678.73 for materials and £300 labour.
Customer:............Oh.......er....we thought it would cost about £200. We'll get back to you. [click]
Harlequin: (to himself).....£200?....what f*****g planet are you on?
There's a wasted morning
