You couldn't make it up, could you?! I particularly liked the "you
will never get any work at those prices" AFTER you'd told him you
were booked solid for weeks ahead.

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


Female Customer: How much to change an electric shower?
Me: Approx £85 if you supply the shower
Female Customer: And how much if I let you get in the shower with me
after you have swapped it?

The mind boggles.


Alas, in 18 months I've never come across anything like the 'Confessions of
a Handyman' film.

Mind you, I have given up sex for religious reasons - God made me ugly.
