The following is an email exchange that helps to clarify the fees for my services, and why we don’t offer a list of fixed prices. 

Dear Sirs,

The cost of the service you wish is a legitimate query. However, you seem to have been expecting a menu and price list like you would in a cafeteria Those price lists have their place – they are ideal at the local fish and chip shop or even at a bicycle repair shop.

And, because the patient is human, the price list asks the patient the  unkind question: ‘Do you want it done well, or do you want it done cheaply?’. 

As my mother always told me and I’m sure yours you: ‘the best is the cheapest’.
