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

Trickledown sounds like some sort of sordid pron term, kind of appropriate really.

Drayton wiser has the plugs for range extenders and works fine with an internet dropout (local control only) the hub replaces the boiler controller and is the most traditional replacement I've seen as it slots onto the standard UK backplane

This popped up on my feed just now.

Definitely gunning for Grand Seiko and if I was shopping this Citizen would be a contender.

Bar the fact that the market is emerging and taxing heavily will limit investmen....oooohhhhh

Yep. Tax the oil firms and give tax breaks for actual renewable generated electrickery

Was recently given these. No use to me in my application. Anyone interested?

My experience is tech specs are written by engineers. Commercial teams interpret those into tender docs (poorly)

It's not uncommon for tenders to be weighted as much as 70% finance 30 technical quality.

Be willing to ask clarification questions (responses will have to be published to all parties)

Post tender award you can negotiate the hard detail of cost:quality and technical aspects.

Edit:if in doubt stick to the generic "we will comply" we have a policy at work of that being an automatic pass.

I had a wall taken down to get our kitchen done. And the floors either side were at different heights.

I had to use self slumping compound (levelling my arse) and it was a poor job but as good as I could manage with +/-3mm and the Evocore LVT tiles laid flat for me.
