How to pay your bathroom fitter
 
Just got an email from a friend who has finally succeeded in having
his bathroom fitted by a firm whose approach was best described as
'sporadic'.

Thought you might be interested in his proposed method of payment.

-------------------------
Should be the last day of bathroom fitting today and then they'll want
payment. So, I intend to go into the showroom, on random days and at
random times, without warning, and take along cheques for small
portions of the total amount. On some days, I'll go in with a cheque,
unsigned, and tell them I'll call in the following day to finish it
off.

Go in at 9 am, drink three cups of their coffee, then tell them he hasn't
got their cheque on the van / in the car, and will have to go and get a new
one from the bank.

Write everything on the cheque upside down and tell them it'll still work
even though it looks a bit odd.

Don't forget to write a check, rip it in half, then tape it back together
along two non ripped sides, tell them it isn't a fault, it's a feature!
