A sequel.

And to give some background, my partner is not only still recovering from 
pneumonia, but 
also is doing cold turkey withdrawal from several drugs her doctors kept her on 
for the eleven 
years after a severe head injury. This makes her (un)pretty grumpy and 
short-tempered. 

Hopefully this also will pass.

Anyway, yesterday I was tidying up a pile of recent old newspapers and among 
them was a 
web-page print-out from the Methven plumbing place, provided by the plumber, 
and two 
items had prices written out in his red ball-pen.

The top one was a retro outfit, and his price was $600 + GST

At the bottom, not illustrated, but probably he quoted an item "just like" the 
unit to be 
replaced. The value of this was $345 + GST. He charged $30 for his work, and 
for a cash 
cheque, no GST. I later checked her bank a/c and $364 is what she paid. $19 
different.

So it was not so bad after all .. :-)
