Check out the Friday night, alcohol induced froth from the dads above.


AM - you should know that it's fairly liberal / PC on here to the extent that some older attitudes to the natures of gender get short shrift.


Which is a pity as I think you've raise a very interesting subject. "Reasonable" in the context of pricing goods or services is often totally subjective and based on a particular individuals ingrained attitudes and life experience. Then you have the difference between cost and value?.which many people seem to confuse or misunderstand.


When I see those business section posts what most people seem to be saying is " I want someone really good who doesn't charge much" and that's the problem. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and pay the extra to get good stuff/people/whatever.

Not always. I paid for a job to be done. It wasn't done as it should have been. I discussed it with the tradesman who made an excuse that what was on his website was out of date and written by his wife (honestly). I suggested a discount which he offered but wasn't acceptable to me. We agreed he finished the job for the original price. So in this case I didn't get what I paid for, originally.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
