    I have had the funniest evening I've had in a long while. My bathroom is old and tatty and needs a facelift and a friend thought that I should invite Dolphin round for a quote, so I did. This batty old woman quoted me £10,000 to have it refitted and that included a 69.5% discount!!!!!!! She said that I needed to put down a 25% deposit and when I said I didn't have access to that kind of cash, the deposit dropped down to £500!!!! She suggested that I phone my dad to lend me the deposit!!!!

    I can totally see why people get roped into parting with cash to get home improvements done, but that kind of money is mad. Totally mad! I won't be calling her back to get the work done... now that's what I call DFW!!!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
