Default Asphalt costs

I should just add, or ask, do any of you know what "Po faced" means?

One of the good things about this forum/newsgroup, is that you are always
sure of a good laugh at some of the subscribers.

Keep it up folks.

Even though I have a Free TV Licence, I, (and others) find the postings here
more amusing and entertaining than East Enders :-))

Have ANY of you stood back and looked at what you post? I know you are an
elite clique, but not of this world are you?

Mike

Now get another quote and tell them that 'you have a price just under
£1,500,what do you think?'

That paying too little is worse than paying too much, because the job
will have to be done again. So it will cost what you paid for the first
lousy job plus the fee for the decent job.


You are right of course. There is an old saying, "buy cheap, buy
twice". Once again 'Mike' shows his ignorance of business.

With a job like that you need three written quotes stating exactly
what they propose to do, so you can compare not just the price but the
job they will do for the money.

And an address not just a mobile number.
