But one bloke my wife arranged to give us a removal quote this morning (not anyone recommended here) turned up in a 50k audi, and my hackles were immediately raised.
As expected the 2k quote (moving only no packing or dismantling) landed a couple of hours later , but I thought the first rule of turning up to give a quote, especially when your clients are at a very money sensitive stage of their lives (moving house) is turn up in a motor good enough to give the impression you know what you're doing and not a chancer but not Flash enough that cheap gits like me immediately start smelling a rat that one is getting weighed up.
We had a Foxtons guy over to talk about selling our flat and he was reassuring us how easy it would be to sell for well above what we are hoping for, while flashing a very shiny Rolex Sub.
I know you get what you pay for in life.
