Got a phone call this morning from a building company saying I had been recommended to them fo cover plumbing and heating installs for them .

Convo goes on with him explaing how they work and what area they cover then he asks my rate .

I say 30 quid an hour to which he says thats way pricey which I then say not really prob about average around here .

Then he says we pay 150 a day for which I reply are you looking for a plumber or postman?

Phone call promptly finishes to which I later get a call that my rate is accepted lol

When do you start ?

I'm more interested in: WHEN DO YOU GET PAID?

These idiots move from one Plumber to another, accumulating labour charges as they go along. I will make sure an agreement is laid down in granite, witnessed and signed by both parties. Personally, I will run for the hills.

Any time… I had one phone call, where the dude on the phone tells me that I’ve been recommended to them by PTS. Clever! I do use PTS too (Don’t tell Ray, please).
 
You should have said 150 is great, and with the other 19 hours left in the day I can still do my other jobs.lol

And every time you go in there, your manhood shrinks a little bit more.

Fortunately, there is a cure. Every time you place an order with us, your manhood gets a little bit bigger.

Its a fact.

Is that the advertising standards authority at the door?
