dropped it all off this morning, spoke to a loverly lady on the phone last night who was extremely helpful, anyway got to the company this morning and met the (theres always one!!) foreman, total arrogant idiot who spoke to me and his staff like I was scrapped off the sole of his shoe, quick call to my dad for some sensible reasoning to see if he thought I should just take my stuff and go or if I should trust this idiot with it all, total agreement from us both to take it away and find someone else to do it, so I went back and was greeted by a worker on a forklift truck, pleasant and polite asked if he could help so I briefly explained the situation and that I was taking my parts elsewhere, he asked me to wait while he got his boss so I did, I explained the whole situation to the owner of the company and explained that I was not having a go at him but as an employer myself if any of my staff spoke to a client or other member of staff in the manner that the foreman spoke to me I would fire them, he was very apologetic and looked at my parts , by way of apology everything blasted pickled and then plated..................wait for it... £50!!!!!!!!!!  pleased is not the word and looking at their standard of work i'm glad I've stayed with them |

I take it you're going to give a fiver to your mate the foreman who was in on the act? £50, that's just brilliant. Bet nobody had £50 in the sweepstake.

I wonder what they would charge for a pair of Fulvia door handles if they are good with Mazac, good result on the other items.
