Strangest Payment

[Dairyspark]

Got a phone call from my local golf club today to see if I would go look at their irrigation pump, so off I went and I got to talking to the green keeper and he asked if I played golf etc. Which I do and I jokingly said you could pay me with rounds of golf

cash, debit/credit card or BACS.... Maybe the odd cheque.....

However I did some PATing for a local pet rescue and came away with a dog

 

[steptoe]

beer is a fairly common one for me  

although, I did get a payment in kind once,    :innocent    O)       :happy bunny:    :maria:

HE is back TFFT!

Anyway, payment

My mate owns a dive shop....he wanted a computer

Another mate is a Computer fettler....he wanted some wall lights wiring

i wanted a new MTM drysuit

I got a PC out of a skip!

My mate fixed it whilst I did his lights

I gave other mate the new all singing dancing computer whilst he measured me for a "made to measure" dry suit

Everyone happy...no money changed hands

Just saying

I'd urge a little caution as you are technically supposed to declare items offered in lieu of payment to HMRC and pay the tax.........

how would you declare a 'lady' in a state of undress then?

Have you got any pictures? We can collectively come up with a 'value' with a few more details..........

unfortunately not

but,

in hindsight,

I was probably paid too much, I should go back and return some of the payment,

:slap

I knew you were there Steps, clearly electrical topics and basic banter is no longer of interest to you, but an opportunity to talk about your beer and ladies of the night and you spring to life. Welcome back

 

[ProDave]

Well, on a scale of 1 to 10

I'd give her one.

And how EXACTLY are you going to get your 'deposit' back?

BFO vacuum Pump?

Turkey baster?

Ketchup method?

Was given this on Thursday

And that was after i refused to fit all the steel switches they had bought as there was no cpc and all the cables were oozing green goo

I was once given a rabbit stew to take home, from an old couple when  we finished their rewire and i had commented i had never had rabbit.

mmmmm I wonder how long that had been on the shelf?

:lol:

Best thing I ever got was a media centre pc!

I would be more concerned about what was IN the bottle!

My thoughts exactly except it was a shiny new looking bottle, unlike the normal vinegar in a dusty, label peeling  bottle  thats dragged out from behind the sofa.
