A couple of years ago, just after it was built, we had an electrician come to put lights and sockets into the garage. He did a great job and solved several small problems in the house at the same time.
During a discussion about the problems with French artisans the other day, I mentioned this to the assembled masses and said that if this electrician wanted to get on in the world he needed to remember to send people invoices and demand payment.
After a period of two years, guess who phoned this morning and popped round with an invoice? He must have bugged the bloody house! Still, the bill was less than I thought it would be so maybe he forgot half of what he did (or maybe he'll send you another bill in 2010 - Ed).
