Ungrateful Bastards

I got a call this morning from a building firm I work with about a customer with no HW or CH.As it was Sunday morning and I live local to the job (everyone else is at least 20 miles away) the owner of the firm called me and asked if I would nip round for a quick look.I went round and fixed the fixed the problem. However I was looking after my girlfriend's 5 year old lad at the time so I took him with me.The ungrateful bastards later phoned the company back to tell them I was unprofessional by taking a child to work with me. That phone call moved them from a "free courtesy call out" to a "billed call out" as they could have fixed the problem themselves. With a bit of luck they will get the bill on Tuesday morning:-)

In the spirit (!) of d-i-y it's probably possible to brew yourself a pint of something for a quid.

Actually a pint of milk still costs well under a quid...

I know a place where it was 85p until it went to 99p a few weeks ago. I would never go in the place, the police and ambulances are there frequently. I think they are profiteering now though as the xmas prices are £1.39 last time I looked.

I didn't think their drivers would be drinking on duty...
