Anyway, soon as someone gets a wiff, it's "my computer's broken... Could
you have a look?" Or "my random associate's daughter's friend's computer
is being a bit slow..." Erm, no.

"My computer's broken... Could you have a look?"

"Sure. I charge £65/hr."

"Blimey, that's a bit steep. Could you do a discount rate for family?"

"I'm an accountant"

"Excellent. Can you come round and do my tax return?"
