A Modern Parable

A correspondent had a toilet replaced. What do you do with the non-working one? He thought he’d paid his local council £30 to take it away but a couple of days before that was due to happen, he got a phone call.
    It wasn’t the council doing the shifting, it was a cowboy sub-contractor who had decided he couldn’t be bothered. The ‘good’ news was that the council would do the job for its one-size-fits-all jobs rate of . . . £150!!!
    Well, the only possible answer to that is 2 words; the first begins with ‘f’ and the second if ‘off’. My correspondent is now considering his options.
