LOL. Short arms and deep pockets.I charge 30 an hour or 200 a day on bigger jobs.
I tried refusing payment for changing a fuse in a neighbours table lamp....
“Oh you must take something for your trouble....”
I thought, great, a tenner for my back pocket.
I got 3 quid
Jammy git i did a favour for someone abd when they waved a twenty in my face i did the polite thing of turning it down thinking they'd insist and i could then politely take ir without looking greedy....but they simply put it back and said "well that's really good of you thanks" .......you could've knocked me over with a featherI charge 30 an hour or 200 a day on bigger jobs.

serves you right for engaging mouth before putting brain in gear. .Jammy git i did a favour for someone abd when they waved a twenty in my face i did the polite thing of turning it down thinking they'd insist and i could then politely take ir without looking greedy....but they simply put it back and said "well that's really good of you thanks" .......you could've knocked me over with a feather
All, thank you for the info. I am relatively new’ish (about 2 years working part-time, now full time after leaving the military). It’s all good gen; I just didn’t seem to be getting any follow ups from quotes and thought ‘am I over charging?’. But I do realise if you want the working doing properly and safely, you’ve got to pay.
If it’s changing a blown fuse in a table lamp for old Doris up the road you will probably do it for a cup of tea and slice of cake and if your lucky she will........
