Do you ever ask for em?

Do you ever give em?

Yes, if the ticket office telephone to ask why I haven't renewed I'm going to ask if they'll knock the VAT off for cash.

I regularly ask and regularly get and regularly give if the circumstances justify .. cliché time (altogether now) .. 'You don't get what you deserve, you get what you can negotiate' .. ((:>)

I do it with my butlins breaks, that's how j afford so many, I call them up and haggle them down, never pay anywhere near brochure price.

I have done in the past, not sure why I don't try it more often.

When I bought my PS4 I got £1000 worth of gear for £500.

I enjoy it, especially in countries where its expected. My Missus hates it and when we were in Hong Kong, she spotted a top she fancied so I told her if she bartered she could have it. She offered $1 under the asking price about 14p at the time, the Chinese lady fell about laughing......

This story made more sense when I realised you meant HK$ not US$.

got my Sky TV down from £65 to £39 by suggesting that I would go to BT.

Depends what it is. If it's a brass and she not particularly up to much, then yes I think you should ask for a discount.

It's times like this that I ask myself this question - "what would Shay Given do?"
