I was asked if I could fix the boiler in the village Scout Hut - broken
inbuilt programmer and they had had a quote of £150 to fix it.

I said I could do it for free with a stand alone programmer - which I have
just done - and the cow in charge has just called me to complain that I used
a second hand programmer. FFS I even printed off a set of instuctions for
them.

Charge 'em £151 to replace it with a new one.

'Would you like a new one? Certainly. I'd advise its not necessary, but I can do that for you if you're sure that's what you want.' Then send them the bill. You might even itemise it as replacing programmer - free, then supply & fit new programmer - £££.

Did she perhaps not understand that _you_ were NOT the person who quoted
GBP150? If she thought they were being charged that much, I can see why
she might be annoyed at finding a 2nd-hand unit had been used.

Or perhaps she's just a nasty old cow.

Knowing how well communication (doesn't) happen within such groups
that is a distinct possibilty.

In which case remove the programmer that was provided and installed
for free and let 'em pay the £150. Make sure the parents know what has
happened...

It's sorted. She thought that she was going to be billed £150 for the job
and did not know that I had I had done it for free.

She was nice when I spoke to her again. I will soon be fitting a free room
stat and a frost stat.

I suppose it it did not help that the £150 quote was from someone also
called Adam.

Ho yuss. A company I used to work for ran a free shuttle from a Tesco
store to the town centre, and that service generated more complaints
than the rest of the network (50 plus services) put together.

Same for a "free holiday" coach service we used to run for a promotional
company. The less they pay, the more they expect.
