ditchman Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sounds like a new business idea to me ditchman, although you probably don't want it, go to Norfolk for your hols and get your car/mower/wife serviced while your away ..im doing 2 for 1 special deal on the wives at the moment ... cleaned ...rebored and power washer....

ShootingEgg Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's a different world full of different people down your way. Mower service here cost me £400 and every repair is at least £50 plus parts. How far are you from here? Who do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-d Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 The mans obviously tighter than a ducks, but I liked the way you told the story. I could picture what you were saying. Did bring a smile to my face. what he said^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx4cabbie Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Bloke near us services my dad's mower and mine, his a Honda and mine a 20yr old hayter - we generally pay 25-30 per mower, and I take and pick them up in my cab, but we're working class and pay our way, I'm not important enough to stitch another man up over money I rightfully owe for a job done. As said earlier, increase your rates and tell him he's a tight so and so, who has had it too good for too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiDriver Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm in East Harling next week for 12 days camping, That's it I'm bringing my two mowers and 1 wife and petrol strimmer for a service/repair and sharpen up. One condition though, can you do the mowers and strimmer first :yes: as they're much more useful. If you start with the wife :sad: You'll have had enough and given up b4 getting to the mowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Do you know I was actually charged more to service a mower than I was charged to service my car one year? Never went back there, needless to say. Getting an outboard serviced is enough to wipe out the national debt of some third world countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
