Always charge family for computer repairs.
A sister's computer costs Sunday lunch, with proper yorkshire puds, no
frozen yorkshire puds allowed.
A brother's computer costs beer.
A parent's computer costs liver and onions, with proper rich gravy and thick
mashed potatoes.
One of the sisters doesn't cost any food because it really is much safer not
to eat anything she cooks, her kids learnt to cook from a very early age,
they were so sick of the strange looking tasteless things that their mother
served up.
