Just been over the MIL's and a plumber has just replaced the quarter turn kitchen mixer tap with an old fashioned traditional mixer because "the quarter turn ones can't be repaired"

...and then charged her twice as much as a new tap and the fitting would have cost, time has to be charged, your obviously work for free....
Why do you think the art of brake shoe re-lining (for example) went out of favour in the non commercial automotive repair trade, it's not because mechanics are unable to do the work but because it would cost the customer more than just fitting a nice new set.

Reading the other puns following this I realised that others read 'whale' as the sea mammal.
I read it as the Whale brand name of caravan plumbing and couldn't think of anything clever which is why I played on the billiance of your star-like properties.
Well, it was very late ...
