That is a very fair price. It's always struck me as odd that some people raise an eyebrow at paying a qualified Plumber /Electrician/ Gas engineer, with all the overheads of running a small business, personal liability insurance, certification etc, etc, a decent hourly rate, but will hand over double the amount for an annual car service where the apprentice " technicians" are given the service jobs and the chargeable hours billed are often double the hours worked.

I've been quoted £160 for replacing a stop cock, its in a lead pipe and some boxing has to be removed.

Good morning all.
Have I woken up in a parallel universe ??? No old fart postings since yesterday 
.
I was sooo tired when I went to bed I thought "great, I will sleep till at least 0800". No chance......I was awake by 0530.
Done some basic jobs and am now enjoying my coffee

Good morning all.
I've been awake since 06.00, it's bright ish out side, but there was an early shower of rain.
All I have planned is a Zoom meeting with my friend in Perth, WA this afternoon.
The Giro is on the telly also, so will watch that.
An early dog walk will start the day off before breakfast.
Another busy day in paradise

Morning. I looked in earlier around 5am but strangely nobody was about! 
9 mile very slow jog done. Had a lovely long steep in the bath and now half way through my fruit and fibre.

Showers and bright intervals with still a brisk southerly wind. Thermometer outside tells me it is not cold at 9.8C but inside the house the wind from that direction seems to creep in somewhere and cool the place down. Since I have a solid fuel stove in the living room there has to be by law some fixed ventilation which is in a south facing wall.
Never realised just how many holiday houses there must be around where I live. Over the last couple of weeks there has been a massive increase in fancy cars passing my house all the time. No idea why they have to keep driving around constantly. Probably the climb back up puts them off going anywhere on foot.
