    Damn how the hell are clothes this cheap in UK?

    Are there really people this uneducated in this Country?

    long story short, I need to ask people the area of their rooms from time to time to quote for a job, yet I get a feeling that 70-80% of people I ask to measure & tell me are unable to do this. I mean they just don't know how to calculate a square area of something,usually they just say flat out...

    Best Trade Discount out there from the large shops?

    I just hate doing that to be honest.. I have a grudge on all the system that everyone pays a different price for everything and you must haggle on a stupid simple items such as a drainage and a box of screws, Why can't I just simply go in a shop and get a decent price ffs right off the bat...

    Any Plasterers Here? Which Trowel to get?

    yup, but almost all of the reviews were good for that item, scored nearly 5stars, probably because they are filtering out the very bad reviews and not posting them as I have found with other websites.
