OT; I feel slightly guilty.....

I often work for people of a certain ethnic origin, who always, always, always haggle about the final bill. It's a deep rooted cultural thing. Even though you have quoted a price for a job in advance, they will always, always, always try to get a few quid knocked off when it comes to payment time. So I've adopted the tactic of adding £10 or £20 to the estimate, knowing full well they always, always, always haggle. I did that today - and they just paid up, no haggling! I feel slightly guilty now......

Bit of a problem if your word is your bond. ;-)

I've always found glue makes a better bind than words
