    I have a supplier/sort-of-competitor I used to buy material from and would recommend to my clients for jobs I couldn't do. I did this regularly for about 4 years and I know I passed a fair amount of completed jobs their way.

    One time I was in their premises and the boss, who I'd had quite a few chats with over the years and thought I got on well with (he's an old school British misery guts), was a total arsehole to me and additionally waved off the jobs I'd sent his way as being insignificant. Huh, ok.

    So for the past 6 years I've continued to recommend them for jobs, but only jobs where the person I'm dealing with is a total pain in the arse and I want to get rid of them.
