Always find them the hardest to get paid from aswell Some years ago now a mate of mine did a stone wall entrance to a big house for a millionaire. When he finished it he went for payment and he just said I'm not paying you. He said what's wrong with the work oh he said nothing I'm just not paying you. So my mate got a JCB a lorry ripped the wall up put it lorry took it away. My mate got done for criminal damage never right. I would have done the same even if I knew I would get done.

Always find them the hardest to get paid from aswell I’ve always found it the other way round, the ones that have more to lose tend not too argue ( still won’t make you a brew) and pay but the ones that play on the same field as me try their luck and want money off, if they don’t ask and the job has gone well I might give a bit back, if you ask then you pay the invoice, I’m doing a bit for a multimillionaire now and he’s a bit of an odd character but if I give him an invoice he pays it while I’m there and his missus brings me cake 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 16,191 Posted April 9, 2024 Report Share Posted April 9, 2024 All the way to Manchester to fit two new manhole covers inside a school, the only reason was they couldn’t lift them, turns out there’s nothing of any interest in there 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
