How much does a plumber charge for an hours work?

It seems that (would have been) Mrs Phil has a blocked toilet and she wants me to go around and have a look at it for her. Now how much is she going to owe me for doing this little job?

    When I lady wants you to inspect her plumbing it could mean something else?
    I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against.-David Niven

    Pop round. Have a big dump in her loo. Try to flush it. When it doesn't work say "yeah it's boogered" shrug your shoulders and leave.

    As much as they can get away with.

    She is all back up and running again. She gave me £5 for doing it.
    It was a case of too much crap and paper down it. I can not leave her with a none working loo can I? It was only a case of sticking on a pair of rubber gloves to be honest and taking all the rubbish out until it went down.

    I really don't believe you Phil, you genuinely seem a nice chap, but are a door mat.

    Your either a fool (for putting your arm in her carp) or sorry to say full of it, my last thought would be to call an ex b/f. and a £5? madness!

    I can not leave her without a working toilet can I? It is not being a doormat really.
