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 I discussed it with the tradesman who made an excuse that what was on his website was out of date and written by his wife (honestly).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

    • You could try asking  ChatGPT? Give it the information you have posted here, and ask for suggestions in your preferred geographical areas (eg South and Central London, or whatever). It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if there was a cheaper  energy tariff for my usage, and it  gave me other very useful relevant  information. I've also used it for several other things, and it has been eye openingly helpful. ETA: I know there are various issues around AI, so please if forum members are reading this and want to discuss them (I don't), don't do it on this thread!  
    • Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here  about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.
