Of course a true professional like TMH would have looked online for
the most expensive rate, then discounted it by 10% and thought he was
doing his customers a favour!

Another **** who's never done a day's work in his life, jealous of someoe

As I said to TMH, I agree an agreed charge for my skills, and any extra
expenses are charged at exactly what it costs me.

You may do it differently; but if you do, at least be honest about it.
