Anna’s just shown me this thread. PMSL.
Dave when have I EVER given you a job without moaning about the price? £20 extra my arse.
Peter, some of my most common phrases are “I’m just getting prices at the moment” or “I will get back to you in a couple of minutes” or “I’ve already had a quote much better than that” or “I’ll get on to my customer and see if he goes for it”. My favourite is “If I wanted to pay that sort of money I’d give the job to TNT”.
I don’t want anyone getting the (wrong) impression that the sun shines out of my arse or that we’re happy paying top rate prices. I’m a cantankerous old b@$&*%d and I like getting value for money.
