Yay, My Tumble Drier Is Mended

[mrs_overall]

One small bearing (less than 1"x1") £19.80 and £15 labour for 2 minutes work. I keep telling myself it is cheaper than a new one

[tonyav]

Ah well, at least it's working again mrs o, bloody rip of though isn't it.

[mccfluff]

that's not bad though -- really. iknow you could buy the bearing for pence but still it is cheaper than a new one

[SlackAlice]

Carefull tonyav. mrs_o's marigolds would come out smouldering hot ☺

[mrs_overall]

I am still astounded at the cost of the bearing - when he showed it to me I thought it would be a couple of pounds
Is it too early for a drink?

[Flyhalf]

It's five o'clock somewhere!

[vulcan42]

Like most things mrs o it's not the size, it's what it does.

[mrs_overall]

That's a good enough answer for me Flyhalf!

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, I hadn't thought of that, SlackAlice.

Mrs Overdraft ......... a word in defence of the humble tradesman..

£15 for labour. The poor chap had to get there...... and, hopefully, escape.

Unless you have a Matter Transporter in your bedroom to beam tradesmen up ;o)

[albaqwerty]

Who's going to be brave enough to suggest what Mrs O has in her bedroom to get the tradesmen up?

[gness]

If you have a Matter Transporter, MrsO...are you hiring it out? x

[tonyav]

She could always ask gness if she can borrow her's.

[tonyav]

Oi gness, I know you've got one in that shed of yours lol.

[gness]

My shed, Tony...is our secret! x

We had to have a new felt seal for our tumble dryer, we were quoted £9 for the seal and £90 to fit it!!

I fitted it myself in an hour and saved the £90

[tonyav]

ok gness, my gob is now closed on that subject !.

[chrissa1]

My late husband used to call our shed, The Huffy House."

[mrs_overall]

Monsieur le Builder - I can see the repair mans house from my house!

[tonyav]

Ah well that would explain the price then mrs overload, he knows you lol.

[sunny-dave]

Isn't there an old joke about a tradesman's bill with the punchline

"For hitting washing machine with hammer - 50p
For knowing exactly where to hit washing machine with hammer - £50"
