The Lord Flashheart 73 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thats why they got money tight as feck +1 I know some incredibly wealth people who give the impression their shit would come out like spaghetti over the most petty little things. Suppose that's how they got rich... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Horrible f****n motor what is he a teenage paki with a rich daddy ! I work in retail - them effniks do like a bargain It may be just a cultural thing - my British customers tend to accept the price and either buy or not. My Asian customers love a good haggle, it's all part of the fun for them. But, when you're doing a job for someone, haggling after the price has been agreed and the work has been done is out of order, whoever they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marshman 7,758 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 It's seems to be the way of things I work as a black cabbie and if you pick up some posh person living in Chelsea and a job goes something like £4. they'll wait for the 20p and ask for a receipt lol. Pick up some old dear help her in with her shopping and she'll try and give you a fiver tip. Seems the more money they get the tighter they get lol . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its just another difference in cultures and why integration doesnt work in my opinion........the common handshake was always as good as a signed contract within British culture......whereas other cultures it means nothing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 48,415 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I f***ing hate peolle like that, nothing wrong with having a deal, but once you have opened your mouth it's done and there's nothing more to talk about. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Worked for a painter one time and we done a job in a posh part of Dublin. When we were finished my boss went to get paid and the lady of the house more or less told us what are we going to do ? Take the paint off the walls ? My boss cut a length of lining paper the length of his van and wrote in big letters MRS O REILLY DOES NOT PAY HER BILLS. He stuck it on the side of his van and sat outside her house. She wasn't long coming out with a cheque. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
