Agree or disagree :D

Sounds a tad steep, but he who is working Christmas Day probably deserves it. The customer's age is irrelevant: my grandmother lived to a similar age and was one of the few people in my family who could easily afford to pay that.
And, no, I don't agree. That is nowhere near £453.50 an hour.

£150 call out on Christmas Day
Sounds fair enough, plenty charge that on a normal day

 

[townfanjon]

Christmas day , more than reasonable , idiot !!!

Bill is a whinge.
Don't be like Bill.
If you need a tradesman to visit on Christmas day expect to pay a Premium.

Just like Bill Pitcher will whatever day of the year he requires a tradesman.

Never mind xmas day I charged 150 quid on a Sunday morning to change a fibre washer.
Cheap for xmas in my honest opinio

 

[Last Plumber]

I think that sounds very reasonable.

What winds a lot of folk up (including me), is the daft calculations.
I mean going off Bill's working out the Plumber is on £3708 per 8 hour day !

The 20 minute thing ?
If she lived next door and you got a Bahco in your cracker, maybe.

 

[Harvest Fields]

I would want at least that to go out on Christmas Day.

 

[PhoenixServices]

You wouldn’t see me answering the phone for less than £150.00 on Christmas Day let alone go out.
We need a life too.

 

[Last Plumber]

What does Bill do for a living?

 

[SimonG]

Well didn't get a response to join the Preston group. Apparently his message has been removed.

I think Bill is now getting trolled by every plumber a Gas engineer in England

I got a call from a customer to my mobile this Christmas Day in the morning about a boiler breakdown.
It was only a 5 minute drive away and I knew it was highly likely to be a one minute fix, so I gladly did it for the very elderly man.
He paid me £20 for my callout.
That works out £1200 per hour at Bills calculations though!
