    So if he'd been English he'd have been right about the price, would he, and you'd have done it for less?
     
  5. I would still like to know how you would move a radiator 30 miles with just 10m of tube ?

    The east european thought that was a
    ridiculous price.[/QUOTE]So if he'd been English he'd
    have been right about the price, would he, and you'd
    have done it for less?

    So, what's your point there then racist finder-general.

    Just curious to know if tightenit would have been in agreement with the price challenge if the customer had been English.

    His origin was only of any consequence because he spoke poor english and I don't think he really understood my costs breakdown. My quote was too cheap anyway and did not leave a margin for all the likely problems to be encountered.My instincts in business are based on assessing the individuals customers willingness to pay and the likelihood of their being a pain in the neck.Their ethnic or racial origins in this regard are irrelevant. £100 ***!!

    Ignore that *tightenit, he gets all exited if he thinks he's unearthed somebody making "racist" comments on here. He probably wants to ban father christmas cos he's white.

    Hope you named and shamed him on the sex offenders register Dick or was it just yourself coming home drunk after your annual Santa night shift stint at Debenham's ?

    Apologetic call for help from said individual. Decided to diy the rad move and couldn't refill. So I still got £100 minus the cost of time, travel and a 22 x 15 compression tee.What goes around comes around nicht war?

    Nice one, but would have told said individual to **** off myself. Vindictive cretin that I am.

    That's exactly what my missus said as she tucked into her samosas, chicken tikka massala and bottle of red courtesy of the clever one. But, sooyar - I totally agree with you. I should have elbowed him - but strangely enough I think I proved my point. Anyone know the exchange rate for a thousand roubles?
