    I considered it a possibility if things turned nasty but I obviously wasn't going to volunteer. I think I smoothed it over, proof will come when they settle the invoice as normal!

    So you are running a business and want to continue doing so. Naturally you told the Client that you would make reparations.....

    LOL indeed... Did you invite the client to interview him and check his suitability first? Could teflon some of the flack if they saw him before accepting him.
