A neighbour asked me about cleaning a "small" gymnastics mat and said they were looking at spending about £30... I told her my min charge was £50 and she protested that it was a 'kind' of charity and it was only 14 metres
but I said I'd take a look anyway...
I got there and my eyes nearly fell out.. "I think the sizes have been under exagerated... a lot!" I said to the gym owner.
"No, it's 14 metres"
"Er, no it isn't!"
"Yes it is, it's 14 metres by 14 metres!"
"So it's 196 metres squared"
"Oh right, can you do it for £40?"
Anyway, I worked a price out which is still fair but I have a hunch they're getting a RD. She told me they were only £30 for 24 hours and I explained the pitfalls of trying to save a few quid and made a point of asking how much a brand new gym matt would cost.
She did mention that a few of them had used a Vax a while ago but it was "Too much like hard work!"
