    New basin waste - won't drain once trap fills

    If you have a long garden hose, stick it into the waste pipe and, helped by someone in the garden whilst on a telephone call), open the water and see if it drains. Have you tried fitting the bottle without connecting it to the waste pipe and running water in a bucket? Someone suggested this but...

    13,466 kitchen floor quote - is this reasonable.

    Not enjoying this at all. In fact, it infuriates me. I wasted lots of time in my days dealing with potential customers who had been conned and wanted all sorts of reassurance that I wasn't gonna be the next cowboy scamming them. One guy even asked me to give him a deposit of £500 as guarantee...

    Sorry, forgot to add that as you purchased the kitchen cabinets yourself, they will inevitably be of the wrong kind and he will offer a better kitchen from his mate at a discounted price, one off offer... That's another £10k, thanks!

    Correct! Drains and water pipes will be his next "problem". Then electric and ceiling. Possibly plaster and some trimmings here and there. Another £10k, thanks!

    It's a well known scam, especially with kitchen/bathroom fitters and roofers. They take a job on for a reasonable price which then becomes a second mortgage for "unexpected problems". As others said, get rid of him because as things progress, he will find more "problems" and charge you for it.

    Lawn mower blade sharpening

    Yes, he sharpened the lower side. I don't think it makes any difference though

    Lawn mower blade sharpening

    Mine is sharpened on the lower edge and the way it rotates allows cut grass to be sucked into the basket. If the upper edge was sharpened, firstly the cut grass would be pushed on the ground and then the shortest cut would be 3 inches.

    How to deal with unfair charges

    Some boiler technicians will try to sell a new boiler to anyone. I've been in the same situation when only the fan had packed up after the boiler was unpowered for a few weeks whilst we were on holiday. I paid £120 because I was told that was the fallout fee, but never contacted that boiler...

    Going EV

    They're even worse. Everyone I know who's been fooled into leasing one of them, can't wait to get to the end of the 3 year con. I've been in a couple of them and they're hilariously badly built. They look like Fiat for the rich :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    What would be the worst figure of speech if you took them literally?

    The famous Himmy couldn't grasp the concept of figure of speech. I told him to go feck himself and he actually had a go at it :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
