It seems to be the f**ked up world we live in these days! My meter starts at £ 2.60 during the day and i get people saying " how much drive", i get a quote to have a woodburner fitted, taking off the cost of the stainless flue etc ( bearing in mind he gets it trade), they basically want £800 for a days installation  Now i am in the wrong trade ....................... |
