I get alarm bells ringing whenever a punter opines on how long a job might
take or tries to haggle on a price.

A friend of mine went to quote on a minor roofing job...

Custard: How much will it cost?
Friend: £150
Custard: How about £110
Friend: £160
Custard: ok £120
Friend: £180
Custard: No mate you don't understand, you are supposed to be coming
down in price!
Friend: No, *you* don't understand, I have told you the price, your the
one who wants to mess about.
Custard: Oh, ok then you can have £150
Friend: But the price is £180 now
Custard: But the price was only £150 a minute ago!
Friend: You are the one who wanted to haggle...


Yes, I do that occasionally
