Slarti Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Yes they do.................... In the interest of being fair the same legal site also says I could/should have enquired, I didn't. Who was foolish enough to think it was free? As I've said, I won't be paying the bill, let's see how it plays out. Don't know where your quote comes from but it says "should", not must.

Oh I, and everybody else, understood your graph. It was the source of hilarity for fecking weeks. You were the one who couldn't see the figures you produced were always going to be so far from the truth it was comedy gold. Funny how much you've swivelled on the plumber thing, again, playing to the crowd. I've already said I'll pay what I think is a fair price, are you l stupid? Grow a pair, admit your graph was utter pish and man up.......................oh, can I have 25 toilet rolls please? "are you I stupid?" Between that indecipherable guff and your inability to understand the difference between " should" and "must", you're really setting up your stall as the forum's intellectual powerhouse. 😅 Thanks for this thread. I needed cheering up today. Honestly my sides are aching. My youngest teenage daughter asked me earlier "Why did he not ask for a total price including labour and VAT? Is he a bit simple?" I was struggling to explain how this could happen and then when I said "he's the same spangle who didn't know what an exponential curve looks like" and she understood straight away.

faraway saint Posted May 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I've been dealing with a solicitors in Paisley who are dealing with my fathers estate. An early warning signal was that they were less than efficient when trying to gather a small sum that was due to my father from an insurance company. The particular individual thought it was acceptable to have contacted, by royal mail, the insurance company and wait for two and a half months. I pointed out that it was totally unacceptable and, since then have been dealing with a trainee solicitor. This particular young man has been excellent, so much so , I praised him just last week, via e-mail, on his prompt response and excellent detailed communication. He had made an appointment with another part of the business to deal with the sale of my fathers house. 5:30 pm tonight. No call, no message nothing. Makes me flippin angry that, while I accept things can change, he could easily have made a short call, or had his receptionist contact me to rearrange. Business's blab on about communication yet it's mostly a sound bite. Fired an e-mail back indicating that I would be available one more time this week and if there's ANY issues I will take my business elsewhere. And breath....................................

StanleySaint Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Make it a long and detailed letter and charge them 100 quid per 15 mins or 400 quid per billable hour or part thereof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Monster Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I hate dealing with solicitors, estate agents, IFA’s and recruitment agencies. I also hate cats. [emoji23] I found out when I was in my late 20's I was allergic to the wee bstards. I found out the owners can get a tad upset when you joke about how tasty they are if cooked correctly.Remember if cooking one in a microwave, stab the wee bstard a couple of times or they explode and make a hell of a mess.

[emoji23] Sorry Slash, you can't put cats in the same group as those other parasites, cats have the decency to not remotely pretend they are interested in your well being.

Cookie Monster Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I was referring to cats above before any solicitors, estate agents etc get worried I've got a large enough microwave to fit them in. [emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Use local business's they say, no problem, so I ask a local company for a quote for new double glazed windows. Already had a quote from a company based in Falkirk, a friend had used them, which came in about £2,700. Local company rolls up, quick measurement, then tell us it'll probably be November/December for delivery/fitting, that was a bad start but it got worse............. A nice round £5,000. The builder who's doing our garden build reckons the units would cost about £1,800. Over £3k for fitting, don't hold your breath local company, I'll pass.
