Default I am just about to annoy a cowboy builder

Only worked for him once before. He left the money he owed me at my brothers
house and it was £50 short and he also told the customer I had charged £700
not £600 for the work I did. The customer gave this info after booting the
guy out of his house and asking me to get someone else in to finish the job.

12 months later the builder has just phoned me again to do another job as
his electrician has let him down and he is desperate. I am due on site at
6.45pm. Well I will not be there. And when he does get hold of me in the
morning when I turn my phone on I will give him the news that his Mother
used to be a prostitute.

How do I know this info? Well a few years ago she was in the magistrates
court for soliciting at the same time I was up in court for drunk and
disorderly. I pleaded guilty and she was found guilty.

Eat your heart out Dominic Littlewood.


I would just ask for the arrears - and the money up front for the
current job before I started. If he promised both in the phone call I'd
call it evens.
