...£35 to get a spare key cut for my car!!!!

Jayne nearly wet herself laughing at the look on my face too.

The bloke went to great lengths explaining that it's because I need a Nova T5 chip in it, (woteva the ferk that is) but I was past caring... 35 fekkin quid ffs!

So, any other incidents of "Oh My God!!" when buying a product or service that you thought might be cheap?

I once considered buying a little tube of touch-up paint for my motorcycle. The thing was half the size of a biro (the touch-up paint, not the bike). Anyway I wrote a letter of complaint to the manufacturer part of which said (having done some sums)"... so how the hell do you justify charging £6000 per gallon for paint?"

Cistern overflow 3.30am.

Phoned 24hr plumbers...answerphone. Got hold of British Gas plumbers: £149 call out plus £49 for every 15 minutes. At that time of the morning they wouldn't fix anything just turn off the water.

I wonder if anyone pays those exorbitant prices?!! Crooks! Turned off my own water got friend who's plumber to fit new ballcock for £40!
