      People used to step outside for a phone conversation or just say they would talk to them later….

      On the flipside I've had a few instances where someone is in a public space having a conversation on their Bluetooth headset and I initially thought that they were talking to me... 😃

        So really it’s the volume . So as long as you talk on your phone quietly it’s ok.

          Only if you talk quietly…outside.

            How about put your fucking phone in your pocket and enjoy your meal.  It’s blatantly rude to the person you’re eating with and to every other person who has to listen to you.  Mobile phones are a privilege, not a right.  I expect to say things like that to my children, not to adults.

              Yep, I had a guy next to me a year or so ago watching something on his speakerphone for almost the whole flight.  When we landed at Heathrow, he asked if he could borrow my phone to call his taxi driver, because his phone had run out of battery.  I'm afraid I declined.

                            Builders finishing work on my house today. Got a text from him last night saying that he would appreciate 2k over the fixed price quote of 25000 for losses he has incurred on the job due to things going wrong, which we've already paid 2.5k extra for. He has explained that he hasn't been able to pay himself a wage for part of the job. My partner and I are cleaning toward no but it's a tough one.

                                  Paging @neph93 …he’s had more than his share of this situation.  Best of luck @Nik

                                  I would have a really hard time paying that unless there was a really good justification, and I mean really good.

                                    @Nik I’ll defer to those that know infinitely more than me, but are you likely to need the builder for any future projects? Maybe a chance to lock in favourable rates for next time if you have something planned?

                                    Still my initial reaction was the same as yours!

                                      Told him that we had agreed the fixed quote and already paid extra and couldn't afford any more. He was upset, but we managed to end it on ok terms. There was some argument and difficulty, so I am pleased it is over.

                                          That’s good news and I’m glad you held your ground.  The only way I would have paid is if:

                                          1). My indecisiveness put the project on hold for a period of time
                                          2). I changed the specs of the project which altered the scope of work.

                                          Now, I’m really interested in seeing how @Giles text went for the boat… 😃 😃

                                            Am really sorry but after asking our production manager we are not anymore able to make any changes / adittions.

                                            Hope for your understanding
