I've never fleeced anyone in my life and am not about to start now, in fact the opposite could be said as I think I am doing things too cheap, if I can sort something out for someone without replacing it I will, more people are coming to me now form word of mouth as I do not fleece them by bullshitting them into replacing parts they do not need as some of the LBS have been doing, and by the way the state of my wallet is healthy.. without having fleeced anyone.
Also as you said yourself above It is impossible to say from a photo whether your chain is worn or not, if I had the bike here I would sort it out as cheaply as possible and explain the problems to the owner.

Giving out poor advice is fleecing them out of their money, even if you are not the benefactor. Don't do it.
You don't know if his chain is worn or not, so don't suggest he replaces everything. That's being mercenary with someone else's money. Don't do it.

Thanks for advice but it seems i opened a can of worms.
Just for the record the chain was around 75% worn when i got it checked.
Fair doos to the L.B.S who said it would still be o/k for a while yet so they were not after sales but i decided to go ahead and get it done.

Fair play to them, fair play to you.

Found this from a previous post interesting reply from Rob.

I would personally go with SRAM. I don't know the reason for it, but I have found that SRAM cassettes do not bite into lightweight aluminium freehub bodies as much as Shimano cassettes do.

And this one from mikey.

I have noticed that a larger proportion of the SRAM cassette is riveted together which may help to spread the load across the freehub body; there are a significant number of loose sprockets with the Shimano cassette, the larger loose sprockets seem more likely to cause damage to the freehub body.
