Ooops! I meant a 2-metre length of pipe, not 20metre - keys next to each other on the keyboard.
I'm sure that there are areas of Stoke and Wrexham where some people have the money to pay decent prices.
Having said that, my own technique is to give a price of, say, £125 and then give a discount of £15 or so.
For example, on Monday I got a new customer for windows and conservatory. Windows came to £22 and conservatory £110 because of the box gutter. When I gave the price she looked a bit resigned to it. She really brightened up when I told her that it came to £132, and I'd do the both for £112 - oh, go on then £110. So, in effect, you'll get your windows done for free this time.
Oh, joy and delight. She nearly turned somersaults at the price!
Pricing tip. Go in higher than you want, and then come down a little. I've never had a refusal when I've done that.
And, yes, they'll let me go to Coventry next week, but I have to be home before the curfew at dusk!
Chopsie, different manufacturers use different methods. The one I knocked off and had to replace was a tongue-and-groove fitting.
