i just say sorry without seeing what im quoting for i cannot help.

If you would like to arrange an appointment please let me know.

Have a good day, bye bye.

Not worth giving out "a guide price" invariably its always going to be more.. price hunters are just that - anyone wanting a real quote will be more than happy for you to come and visit.

Sometimes its just other WC's wives phoning up sussing out the competition.
