The worst one was a woman who tried to barter me down on price on completion of the job because I was more expensive than the opposition. This after shed spent 10 minutes slagging off said opposition.

That sounds exactly like my stepmother. In fact, it might have been her. I can't imagine she wouldn't have taken the opportunity to criticise the prices/choices/views of others, when my father had a tree taken down last year.

"IT wants a damed good pruning" (by which they mean muller it)
