So I got back off holiday on Monday evening, neighbour comes walking over. With the post-holiday blues and after driving 210 miles with screaming kids in the back I wasn't in the mood for any arguments. Anyhow he starts going on about how he got thinking about it and decided to go round to the place we wanted. Chatted to the owner, was impressed and everything clean and tidy, showed him some jobs in process etc. Happy to take it there.
So the garage picked his car up Wednesday morn, left him a courtesy car, dropped his off last night. Came round saying he's well chuffed with the job. £260+VAT so £312 all in. He's happy we're happy. Even said he was gonna take his missus' Mini in cos she wants a union jack on the roof.
Moral of the story: Take your time and don't just bend over a barrel if you're sure that to do so would be monetarily and morally repugnant.
Our Brexit negotiation team seem to be taking a similar stance with the divorce bill.
The jury is out on this one.
I'd like to hear his side of the story.

However as a confessed catholic maybe these are relevant.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you definition. A command based on words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount : “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” The Mosaic law contains a parallel commandment: “Whatever is hurtful to you, do not do to any other person.”

2. As I have said on this forum previously, I am not RC in fact I am an atheist.
3. As I have said on this forum previously, I am not Irish
4. I made up the part about going to confession because I knew how predicable you are and what a bigoted reaction you would have.
5. Having the user name Paddy is really interesting especially for the reaction of the ex-army types on the forum."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
