Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken wall at 10 Downing
Street ; one from London , another from Bristol and the third,
Liverpool ...
They go with a government official to examine the wall.
The London contractor takes out a tape measure and does some
measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
'Well', he says, 'I figure the job will run about £950: £400 for
materials, £400 for my crew and £150 profit for me.'
The Bristol contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and
then says, 'I can do this job for £700: £300 for materials, £300 for my
crew and £100 profit for me.'
The Liverpool contractor doesn't measure or figure but leans over
to the Government official and whispers, "£2,700."
The official, incredulous, says, 'You didn't even measure like the
other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?'
The Liverpool contractor whispers back, '£1000 for me, £1000 for
you, and we hire the guy from Bristol to fix the wall.'

'Done!' replies the government official.

And that ...... is how it all works .....
