blackmaggie 3,377 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 normally the posher the house the less chance of a brew and we found the worst watchers were asians always stood over your shoulder watching everything then wanting all these little jobs doing for nothing and everyone of them tries to get the price down once you start the job anything to not part with cash and one job we did he offered us payment in jeans 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Qbgrey 4,259 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 i allways take a flask as i dont want to bother people ,i no they got kids to get ready,work etc ,but some people dont even offer.....i done a job last winter -7 degrees the fella come out gripping a brew saying it was freezing.no mention of any teas for us .if im not home allday and i got trades round doing work i leave a kettle and milk teabags mugs out for em.....its basic common curtesy 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest norseman Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I have decorators coming round the house tomorrow, tea bags and biscuits are stocked up for them. your right though its basic courtesy and manners that are beginning to fade. we put railings around a house once and the woman refused to let us have our tea in the van, made us a full fry up. then at lunch she made us a full roast all in her house with their family didn't know them from adam. really nice gesture 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
