Been fleeced by one shyster who took a deposit and ran and messed about by a few otters who quite then never got back to you. TIA We had the latter with our garden. I think we had 2 or 3 where I arranged for them to come out, measure up and quote etc and they just never turned up. It’s just frustrating trying to get anything done these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Yes, I do, Craig Flockton Joinery he's got a facebook page so you can see his work, he doesn't take a penny until jobs done (if it's a massive job he may want something halfway through if he's got to buy in alot of stuff) but he charges materials at cost (no mark up) plus his labour. Does kitchens, bathrooms the lot. He's spot on, used him for years. You'll possibly have a wait for him though. Have his number if you want it.

Howmanheyman 43844 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I'm sorry to hear he fleeced you, Alex. Going to need our bathroom done as well as there's definitely a leak somewhere as the paint is coming off parts of the hallway wall on the other side so might as well do the bathroom while we're at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 50632 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Speaking of French toilets, I’ve never seen a “squat and drop” style dumping station anywhere in the Uk, until this morning. It’s even got a jetwash for your nipsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 27742 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Haven't really got any tips on tradesmen. My life seems to be a constant of getting unreliable tradesmen in to fix the mistakes of previous unreliable incompetent tradesmen, being fleeced each time. The fucking cunts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Driver Lounge at an Amazon warehouse in Saint Helens, Merseyside. I’d maybe expect it somewhere in the south east, where you’d expect a larger number of continental drivers, but Saint Helens??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 5407 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 You lads aren’t using checkatrade or my builder bullshit are you? If you are, don’t. Generally speaking if a tradesman needs to be on there they are shite. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 42108 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Tom Watson always comes across as a proper gent like. Was a shame that year when he almost won the Open again when he was nearly 60 (he was 59 ) it would’ve been one of the greatest achievements in the sport. Maybe the greatest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 50632 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I know you lads, like me, are probably wondering what the lass who presented the Meteorologicas on Channel 9 on the Fast Show is doing now … Well, it seems her and Chrissy Waddle set up a haulage company in Poland Thank you, goodnight, get fucked. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 50632 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Aye sorry to hear this Robin. I think we’ve got a while until our little shithound departs , but I know the Mrs. will be a gibbering wreck when the time comes. I’m going to get her a tortoise afterwards so she won’t have to worry about saying goodbye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
