Anyway get home today and there is a letter saying they no longer need my services, really I couldn't care less but I thought fark em and I rang em up I was going to blast this shelia, the manger as she calls herself, but she was out so I spoke to the secretary again, she said my price was way to much. So I explained what I did and the things I have done for them over the years without charging. I said please tell the manager, and ask her to give me a call, think I might be waiting a while for that one. I don't care about the job, what makes me grumpy is that people think you should be working for free, and this is a doctors surgery, imagine telling him he charges to much
