you would think I had asked to borrow his wife
moaning on for half a hour on how his water meter was going into overdrive

If on a water meter i always knock at bit off!!! Average cost per 1000 litres is about 60p which could be £6.00 a day so i  knock off 5/10 % of job! This keeps the custie happy!!! Also have a hydrant licence so if there is an issue we can supply water but then charge 5/10% more!!!
