    Me old mucker, Pete....... Known him all my life and worked with him on and off for 40 years. Not seen him for at least 5 years.
    Got his number, to do a few jobs in my flat. Jobs I can technically do myself, but my legs don't work.
    He wall mounted my new fire.... Plumbed in an outside tap, which was a bit of a challenge..... Routing it between 2 gas meters an raising it up for ease of use.
    Between us we plotted a cabling route for my 4 camera CCTV system. Not that easy!!

    Cleared all the boxes and carpet off cuts to the bin store etc.
    My neighbor had a problem with her TV..... I have a spare so Pete took it round and set it up for Judy....... And came back with food from the chip shop for both of us!!

    He was here over 6 hours.......... And his bill was.......... Zero !!! Just the £23 he paid for plumbing bits!!
    Back next Saturday to install cameras...... Not told him yet I've just bought an integrated dish washer lol.

    That's a great outcome - maybe he was happy to have had an opportunity to spend some time with you, and that was worth more to him than a typical hourly rate?

    I'd definitely be buying him some beer ready for when he turns up on Saturday!!
