Strange BearsGarth and I are doing some house extensions/renovation and I questioned one of the tradesman quoting for work on quality........when his quote for the work came in he added this at the bottom for me. I think he may get the work despite his higher price!! 
Quality
It is like buying oats. If you wish to buy first grade oats, than you must pay a fair price. However if you are satisfied with oats that have been through the horse that is another matter.
It's another way of describing poor work and be polite I suppose!!!

Back Road Bears:crackup: Too funny! I wonder how many others have hired him over others because of that marvelous marketing tactic!
Too funny! I love it! Very clever. Great way to make a person laugh after suffering a heart attack over the quoted price.

It's very true!!!! :clap:
Luxembears:crackup: I agree...so true.
They could also use 'cow' along/instead of "horse". And oats from that route are not pretty.

Luxembearswell Deb...let's see.....you've got road apple and we have cow pies... :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: Yum! :crackup:
So what will it be? Apples or pie? How about apple pie?
Posts: 3,540 I think that's one apple pie I'll pass on !!!
When I visited the UK my friends and I went for lunch, and there on the menu was 'cow pie'!!! :crackup: I just had to give it a try and my friends couldn't imagine what I was carrying on about. Actually it was quite delicious, a sort of beef stew with a puff pastry on top. I couldn't wait to tell my Mom I'd eaten a 'cow pie' :crackup:
LuxembearsDeb, that is so funny! If I saw "cow Pie" on the menu I would have to order it. What you had sounds good.
We have a favorite restaurant here called Texas Road House. One of the items on the menu is called, "Road Kill". It's a mix of steak chunks, onions, mushrooms, melted Jack cheese, and sauce.
Anyone hungry?
