    Nice to have a satisfactory outcome.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    yes, good result. Everyone happy.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Good result, and thanks for being honest towards them.

    For those who were suggesting "don't pay", don't be upset when the business involved "undoes" whatever repair they've carried out before returning things ;)

    I would say give me my wheel back. Then i would leave with it. If a builder bulldozed your house and then built a mansion on it without asking would you let them?

    Not quite the same,is it?
    You sound so pleasant....
    Went shoplifting at the Disneystore today.

    Got a huge Buzz out of it.

    If it was the same it wouldnt be an analolgy would it? Work was carried out that wasnt instructed. Why should it be paid for? Shall i do work for you that you dont want then charge you?

    Quite right, and you can have your wheel just as soon as we've undone our repair to it, Sir. Would you like a coffee while you wait? :)

    Think you can manage three lumps, Baldrick?
