I go to the shop, it's half done. The undercoat is really thin, which means it needs two coats of gloss to cover the strong colour below.
The keys go back tomorrow at 4pm. I put the guy on this job on Monday. It's a two day job. He pissed off to another customer first.
"Don't worry" he says, 'It should be fine'
"It needs two coats mate, not one, I've just looked at it, how many coats can you get done in gloss by tomorrow?'
"One" - was his reply
"FFS - I told you that if it was painted by 4 O Clock tomorrow and the dark colour below removed it was going to cost me £500 fine according to my lease. It needs two coats"
"Well just tell him I'll do it Saturday" - was his reply "I'll do me best but whatever will be will be"
"It cant be Saturday, as I've told you 4 O Clock tomorrow I give the keys back!"
"Chill out, it'll be fine"
Whatever will be will be!!!!!****!!!!!!!!!!

To all those Agents out there.
You have my full sympathy.
