What’s going on with the standard of plumbers?

Johnny, your Plumber is no friend of yours. I had an emergency callout for my friends daughter, she was not charged. Even my mate wanted to pay me, I explained that's what friends are for.

I never charge family and sometimes I charge mates if it's a big job but it really is peanuts compared to what I would charge a regular customer. Works the same in reverse. Last time I did a big job on my sons car, he asked me how much. I told him it took me 6 hours so that's 6 hours of wiping my arse when I'm old and incontinent. He said he'd rather pay! :ROFLMAO:

Out of interest what would you consider to he a reasonable price?
To get a gas pipe blocked off because it was sticking out of the wall and the 22 pipe going to the boiler rerouted to be on a straight line I paid £240 (45 minutes job including tea and chit chat)
I would say half of it is reasonable.
What do you think?
 
Did he not give you an idea on price before you asked him to do the job?.
 
Fussy are you?
No....well I don't think I am. Slightly off topic, but in the last few years people have been serving up Earl Grey, and we all know that's NOT tea.
Now, when I ask for black tea (to avoid being given Earl Gray or other dishwater brands/types) with a little milk I get curious looks.

My wife drinks Earl Grey, I can’t drink it…..if I make it by mistake I have to make a new cup.

I like Yorkshire or Tetley, less keen on PG

Earl grey is a breakfast blend, and Im a non tea drinker.
