The bit that got me was the making an offer. When else would you fairly flippantly just throw in extra tens of thousands of pounds to a guess of what the real price is?!
I hate having tradies round. Ridiculous sums of money and I don't know enough about what they are doing to know if they are doing it right and/or at a fair price, and almost without fail I have ended up being a bit annoyed about something they did, even when using recommended people.
