Ask for the money as a discount. Even though they're "free" you get royally ripped off by developers on F&Fs. They pay very little for them and tell you the RRP is a million pounds a metre.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I hope not, as this would be a nice little reward after our lenghty and frustating purchase!!0 -
