Re: "In cash please guv."
Sometimes Rob a little honesty pays, I used to do some self employed part time work for someone who tried to persuade me to stop paying my NI contributions, I told him that I wasn't interested in whatever he was doing but I would keep paying because I wanted my pension.Re: "In cash please guv."
Re: "In cash please guv."
I'm afraid I'll have to be classed as dishonest then unless it affects a guarantee, which it didn't, I still got it and a receipt, and as not everyone pays VAT, that doesn't always affect it but as one bloke said A pound in the pocket is worth more than £100 on paper that's why he gave discount for cash, at least he was sure he'd been paid. I always pay cash and ask for discount, though did find when I went to buy a car and said I wouldn't need credit the salesman lost interest.Re: "In cash please guv."
Re: "In cash please guv."
I have just had the lounge and ceiling re-plastered. The quote was very reasonable and the job done was excellent quality - and surprisingly very little mess for me to clean up afterwards. The plasterer had said his son (18) would would work for £30 per day taking the paper off and getting the walls ready. Poor lad spent two full days on it and it was a really fiddly and time consuming job. When the work was finished (out of character for me) I decided to ask how they wanted paying, cheque or cash. The plasterer said to just give his son the £30 per day and pay for the plastering work however I thought best, cash or cheque. Because they had both done such a grand job and I felt the price they charged for such an excellent job was so reasonable I paid them both in cash. The son I decided to pay minimum wage which was more than the £30 per day he had asked for. I was really pleased - chuffed to find two such good workers who were both fair and competent. Some people might say I am soft, but I don't think so in this case.
