m.p. expenses scandal

[REDSAW]

been called over to a job today at an m.p's office as the sink plug was not opening up to drain properly in the staff toilet.
i was on the other side of town and travelled approx 10 miles to these offices within 2 hours of call.
when i got there it took all of about 2 minuites to work out that the pop-up had been slowly rotated down when cleaned to the shut position, all it needed was 3-4 anti-clock-wise turns to sort it out. so out with the tools (thumb and fore-finger) and bob's your uncle, sorted.
the secretary standing over my shoulder remarked on how she was silly not to have thought of doing that first. then she said 'how much'.........
to be honest i thought, nothing dear, then my better wisdom ruled what with travelling over etc (although i had finished for the day).... er, call it £20 for my time luv'.

now i have to give a full invoice and send it to the house of commons to be verified by the appropriate boddies before i get me monnies.

should of just whacked them for the full hour, think i will just not bother now, or do you think i should invoice the full hour anyways irrespective to what i told the secretary? what would you do?.lol
at least the secretary took my card for her own use and will be calling me soon for some work.

weird situation really, you go over to quote to repair, its simple so fix it in 2 mins whilst investigating its sorted.
problem is, you loose that job that could have been min charge booked in?????????

invoice them £20 for your time and £25 for your wisdom

Thought you were going to say sink was blocked from all the rubbish they have been excreting recently

When you get the £45 from them the commons,take the cheque to the daily mail,say it is payment for personal acts with a plunger and turn it into £500 for story

sorted !!
