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 I discussed it with the tradesman who made an excuse that what was on his website was out of date and written by his wife (honestly).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.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
