Would you say that was a reasonable amount to charge?

Charging (to me at least) enters a whole different ball game and
relationship. There is of course a higher expectation of problem
resolution, time becomes more of a factor and the Tax/VAT man starts
getting involved* :)

Cheers,

Hi there- have been exploring charges for the kind of face to face help- locally to me in Yorks- the price varies from £75 first call visit - then after that £40 per hour.  The first seems to be flexible timewise.  Caroline
