You must admit that even less relevant expenses £69 an hour is excellent.

I do understand expenses travelling etc. But my original question was regarding a single repair costing virtually £600.

Sadly for us this sums up the public i.e. stupid
Well I just hope when you are 89 are deaf and can hardly walk that you won't mind getting ripped off.

Yea, knowing how much profit Asda made last year I tried that at the checkout, pretty much told me to p*** off..... I also tried it at the Diesel pump when paying, I said hey, Iv'e just done a favour for an 89 year old guy, can you let me have the Diesel for nothing, pretty much the same reply,
In fact I get pretty much the same attitude from Gassafe, public liabilty, MOT, Service, van purchase, accountant, Environment Agency waste carriers licence, toolshop, insurance, clothing, PC world, college for compulsory exams, in fact every leech that has a hand in my wallet before I even turn the key in my van ignition, and then there is the buggers that just won't pay or weren't in, I tell them, hey I need you to pay so I can do an old person a favour, well sod me they aint interested, humpffff,
some people, what is the world coming to.

I was referring to the fact that the general public think what a company charges is what the plumber is paid, not that an elderly relative paid a rather high bill
I was only joking mate, chill out ffs

An there is me thinking you actually care about this poor "89 year old man"
look we do not all go around "ripping" people off an nor has the chap who done the work for the old guy, as he agreed on the hourly rate.

susiejb £69 an hour is about right we charge 60 and most firms round these ways i know charge up to 80+vat. just for showing up. and trust me i cover newquey and know what the cost are round these ways and were probably worse paid in this region than any other county. the boiler your on about could be a greenstar i junior which are a pig to work on. i understand your peed off. i would at that cost, but most cant see the job entailed. it basically customer v tradesman. least hes got hot water and heating thats the main thing at least.
