    I totally understand that there would be a difference between public road, private driveway and garge.
    That is not at issue.

    What none of us understand is why there would be a charge if it was originally down as garage and is now in the garage.
    The OP needs to clarify this or alternatively forget about it.
    Sometimes (in this case £3) it's not worth worrying about especially if you have to pay for the phone calls.
    Perhaps it wasn't recorded correctly in the first place.

    I'd love it if I went out to do a job, the customer told me they'd given me the wrong address, and I could put an extra £50 on for turning up at the right address instead.

    Or I was going to fit a white switch somewhere say, customer changes their mind and wants silver, £50 + the cost of the switch, (well, twice the cost, as It's a short term job rate now)

    So given the opportunity, if you could take advantage you would?
    Then you can hardly blame anyone else for doing so can you?

    I would have thought you legitimately could:cool: Maybe not those precise amounts but certainly something
