£6.99 for 25kg from a hardware shop.

My customers were so much delighted to see their footway/driveway salted by their window cleaner.

They don't know he has no public liability insurance,that's the reason he is salting it  ;D

had one of your custies in townhill ring me up the other day asking for a quote. she said she sacked you as you were too expensive and she thought she should have discount as she paid by dd.

went up anyway and was £4 more than you.

she was out so texted her to tell her, she said im too expensive, obviously, so i wrote back and said well maybe she should have held on to you then, so expect a grovelling ask back.

cant think who it could be picked a few more up than lost lately.  i think it may be a job that i quoted the other day she said she was getting another quote, she did phone me back in the end.
