    Why do people in the trade ask you to help them. Just had a txt "can you help me on 21st" so I look at what day it is, it's a saturday, so I txtx back no probs, then get another "by the way it's after 6pm" why don't they just tell you that in the first instance, I would still do it, but it bugs the life out of me why people do that.... :mad:

    yeah, he wants a hand screeding, so I said no probs expecting to here from him nearer the time when/where!! but no, he txt back straight away to say after 6pm. Perhaps he thought I would say no if he told me that in the first place.. If I were to ask for help I would have given all details so you know where you are, not to say that I would think about it, if I can help someone I will... :cool:

    I presume so, never asked I just tend to help people out then wait to see what they pay. If it's right money I just say thanks if it's not then I'm busy the next time they ask.. ;)

    This is why I only ever give verbal quotes.
    As soon as the customer gets something written, they hawk it round all the shops.
