True story.
My Dad once employed someone to put a new window in the side of his house. The guy came and measured up. The work included installing a new window, and decorating. The quote wasn't peanuts.

Anyway, the guy came and did the job. Was there about 4 full days.

As the guy completed my Dad asked how he wanted to be paid. Cash he said and I will call and collect.
A couple of weeks passed and he never came so my Dad called him up and asked him to call round for payment.
Another couple of weeks passed and he had still not seen the builder so he called him up again and again..

This went on for almost 6 months until my Dad just stopped calling. The guy never came to collect his money.
