"Ok," I said - then he quoted a price well over £2000 for one window - retail. Mind you, it was a large window with three opening units. I stopped him right there and said, "No way am I paying even 50% of that price." Poor chap, his face fell to the floor and he started tapping away again on his calculator, reducing the price a tad more, yet still more than I was willing or able to pay. I had a rough idea...
