Just seems a dumb choice of where to protest

He wouldn't take it. He's not dumb.

Also he can come in as leader after and build to the next GE

In my head I automatically read

We have been colleagues and friends

as

We have been colleagues, lovers and friends.

I feel sick

#Downthekhazi ?

Energy bill support....

Do you have family you can discuss this with rather than the internet?

I'm sorry you are having to live with such a choice. I hope you can be at peace with your final decision.

This shit is why I WFH with builders. Not to watch them but to be able to ask that quick question rather than wonder and pick something at random.

Height does look pretty conservative though....

Nods sagely and falls asleep on the sofa

Nah. Answer all questions with "we will comply" and then add the money section. Bit will go to the lowest price that meets the technical aspect.

More than twice as useful with 6 times the battery life? Seems a bargain.

I want to want one. For gadget sake.

But Garmin/Fitbit for fitness stuff and charge it once a week or twice every 3.
Phone for actual usable screen real estate stuff.
Headphones for voice assistant, no screen stuff.

I kind of feel the same about mobiles these days. I'd happily drop 30% peak processor performance , reduce ram and storage for an extra half day of battery.

He's not allowed to think "collective responsibility" innit

Not shitting on your sale.

I struggle to see the additional capability or value of a smart watch that does <24hrs battery when Garmin and Fitbit devices are pushing a week.

Can someone explain why I would want one?

We had a power cut the other night after the kids were asleep. No heat, lights, TV, broadband or mobile signal.

It was fucking miserable and we just went to bed.

Our kitchen just done, we had 2 rads. One standard type 21 and a feature rad.

Quote agreed with the builder was supply 1 fit 2. There was a markup on Screwfix prices for the supply rad but then a Screwfix stelrad/kudox is different from a well made Myson premier. No idea what was supplied.

I'm only reading documents. People die if I don't do it, and I ain't doing that shit out of hours in my own time and wallet.

People need compensation for their time or >>>DIY thread
Otherwise it's slaves and kids doing chores.

Because time, petrol, car insurance, lack of funds in bank acruing interest. Also customer wants a fucking tap and trader did the donkey work of getting it and wtf that should be a zero cost service?

Edit:
I've had two batches of wood flooring turn up banana shaped. The fitters have been over 4 times and the flooring company are doing the graft to get me a decent batch of flooring. I still don't have a floor.

I hope they charged a markup on the materials as it's been a shit job for them so far.

What about a ninja or similar multifunction unit, air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker all in one?

How much did all your guests have to fork out for travel/accomodation etc?

this is assuming the quote includes an hourly rate, maybe its a "labour" line item in which case charging % for admin of part procurement is slightly clearer.

The alternative is they up the hourly/day/labor rate or cost. It doesn't really matter as the quote will be the quote.

Maybe the answer is to add an admin line to the quote, and a pension contribution line, holiday and sick pay lines, insuramce, travel, vehicle upkeep, training contribution.
and also to charge for providing a quote as that is time/SKE

Is the bike chain 5,9,10,12 speed, some weird SRAM spec?

You are also paying for the knowledge and experience of the staff to choose the right part based on the system(bike), that should have a cost.

People know bikes here but could you choose the right valve to replace a damaged in a CH system?

Just because a punter has the internet doesnt mean they will source the right part (done it myself when I thought I could fix things myself then ended up paying for a plumber and the correct part anyway) skills knowledge and experience have a cost.

Sounds like the venerable call out fee.

My usual punter based routine is: do I have a trade I trust to do the work based on previous, if so message and book them, pay bill.

If not get Recommendations from friends/family then quotes and if I'm happy to pay what they are asking then boom I'll book.

Having a rage about how the quote/invoice is broken down seems churlish. I pay the whole bill not just parts of it.

Most marquee companies will travel. As a student I did work that involved travel from South London to a job in leeds

That's fine if they charge labour for the sourcing time. Otherwise just add 5% to the cost and absorb the labour in that. Which is common when ordering across multiple jobs/clients

My fully tiled bathroom gets condensation all over after a shower. Only way to dissipate it is windows wide open
