I mean fuck me, 16 years lol now that’s value for fucking money right there.

@process had a bit of a chuckle at that - I used to partner up with a local web design company to do their photography. The amount of times I walked into their offices to hear,

"Look, you pay us, we do the work. Not the other way about"....

That's why I was always super strict with my invoices. Only good thing I took away from working with them πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@MichaelRLaverty it's a crazy industry for it. Especially up North, ulster/scots aren't exactly easy to extract money from 🀣

@process ain't that the truth πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

The amount of times I have been cringing because of people I know trying to haggle..... especially thinking of the time I went to Barcelona with my dad.... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@MichaelRLaverty πŸ˜‚ I remember taking FIL into Dixons for a new TV

"Come on now son, what's the absolute best you can do for me?"

lol

@process my experience is usually that 'thela absolute best' is repeated a few times....and then you get the -

"You've lost a sale there son" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@MichaelRLaverty lol

It's something I've never been able to do. Maybe with a local tradesman that you know has upped the price, they're usually older too.

@process my dad always says, if you don't ask, you don't get......but I'm like you. The thought of even trying plays with my levels of anxiety πŸ˜‚
