I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Cheapest deal ever, for the hotel manager not us, was a hotel in Germany. We booked for 12 people (6 rooms) at 3pm but for one reason or another - lots of cheap German beer - we actually arrived at the hotel at 20 dark hundred something.

I paid over cash for the rooms and it went straight into his pocket not the hotel safe. We had arrived after the hotel rack closed for the night.

Joking aside there is a specific reason why paint is sold one way and airline seats another.

If B&Q don't sell their paint today it will still be on the shelves tomorrow. Today's airline seats will be gone by tomorrow.

Doors to Automatic,

MFI Kitchens might have been more apt. They put their prices up, then discont them to a higher price than they were originally and declare a sale.

Then we have an even worse phrase from the salesmans lexicon than SALE, FFS EVERYTHING is on Sale, or -99p or even -98p. That is When its Gone Its Gone. Yuk.

.......or BOGOF!!!

(Buy One Get One Free!)

Mrs Bealine once made the mistake of asking Sharps to quote for a fitted bedroom. The salesman wouldn't leave the house until after midnight, desperately trying every trick in the book to close the sale.

Eventually, he made the mistake of "pretending" to ring his boss to get the "special" 75% off list price deal extended just long enough for me to sign on the dotted line.

I went for the jugular. In a syruppy voice, I said "Please let me see the Price List!"

"Errrrrrr Ummmmm! I don't actually carry one! We don't produce one for customers to see"

"Oh, well, I just wanted to check that you were applying the correct discount. You see, anyone can say they will give you 75% off or even 99% off when there is no actual list to compare against! I suggest you leave now - I don't like being conned!"

.......and to this day, I will not deal with any of these companies that try to convince you of the massive discount! (That pratt from EastEnders trying to convince us that "Land of Leather" is on the level! Yuk! )
