No substitute for cubic inches.

I've got a Webley Vulcan that would do that easy. ?

Older inks had a good content of Iron in which remains when the rest of the ink degrades. This is why the writing on old documents appears brown/rust coloured rather than blue/black.

Iron or steel reacting to Tannins in wood. Put a new chain on and you'll find it.

If the posts are going to stay wet, Alder is good. -
But fair though.

Good job the owner wasn't planning to mill it.

Light Phingered Grabbing?

A traveller in jail? That really is a joke.

I always find it helpful in these situations to first ask myself 'Does it belong to me?'.

Some people just really enjoy their rigging. Perhaps it lubes it up a bit, making it easier to undo?

Brian Blessed reputedly punched a Polar Bear in the face. That any good?

Larcenous, copulating illegitimates.

Can you buy the bargain one and put another glass in it?

That's emmets in Cornwall. -
With the argument about how much he will pay now the job is done, that's a moot point. The emails also prove that the OP was contracted to do the work.

I think it happened because she didn't pay Ryanair's surcharge to not sit next to an unpleasant, ignorant bastard.
-
All the more reason to not accept less than the £450. If it goes as far as small claims, the OP can claim for expenses to cover the hassle. The only experience the OP would gain by giving in is in how to roll over.

Unless they will give evidence, it's just hearsay unfortunately.

I thought I had made that pretty clear. Of the 2 options, being proved wrong and having to pay up would be far more disagreeable to such a person than a momentary insult. Before I started doing tree work, I worked in the casino industry for nearly 20 years and frequently met people like this customer. Nothing hurts them more than having to accept that the person they view as a pleb was right and they were wrong. That they would have to pay up the original bill and some extra for expenses would be the icing on the cake.

Do you honestly think telling him to stick it up his arse is going to hurt him more than getting him to pay the full amount of what he owes? Like I said in a previous post, insulting him wouldn't even register as he laughed about having somebody over.

Have to disagree with you on this one, Mick. That quote is the thing that's not worth the paper.
-
You have enough correspondence to show that there was a contract so the only question is how much for what you did. If you have emails to the effect that he is not paying what you have asked then he is trying to vary the terms of the contract after you have performed your part of the deal which he cannot do. He failed to negotiate your fee before you did the work which is his problem, not yours. Your fee is reasonable for what you did, and reasonable is the word of importance in UK law. It will be for him to defend himself against your action and it will come down to whose story the court likes most.

Some things are. This isn't. The customer is a dick who is chancing his arm. Do you honestly think he is going to give a tuppenny shite about what somebody says to him? Water off a duck's back would be my call.
