I did a bit of research Les, and it seems that the closest is “ne pas être un poulet de l’année”  which means (I think) not a first year/this years chicken.

 

I quite enjoy finding the equivalent sayings in French, it reveals the similarities in the human experience.

I get quite a few telephone enquiries regarding roadside ash die back and they ask me 'how much is it gonna cost me' to which i reply 'i need to come out and see the job and trees in question'  then i get 'surely you must have some idea?' and i reply 'if you randomly ring up a builder and asked how much will it cost to build a house, without giving them a plan or more information then what kind of an answer would you expect?'

 

I try and sound light hearted and humorous whilst explaining the situation and they usually chuckle when they realise how clueless they sound over the telephone!

Hi I've got a big tree in my garden,
How much?
I've been quoted £100 by two non professionals.
As a professional can you do it for less?
Click.

After discussing everything with a client this morning on a job.

he comes out about 4pm near leaving time and says are you leaving brash there?

yes that’s what was agreed .

changed his mind and tried to get me to move it all down the other end of the farm

thought it was a joke at first
