I am just about to annoy a cowboy builder
Only worked for him once before. He left the money he owed me at my brothers
house and it was £50 short and he also told the customer I had charged £700 not £600 for the work I did. The customer gave this info after booting the guy out of his house and asking me to get someone else in to finish the job. 12 months later the builder has just phoned me again to do another job as his electrician has let him down and he is desperate. I am due on site at 6.45pm. Well I will not be there. And when he does get hold of me in the morning when I turn my phone on I will give him the news that his Mother used to be a prostitute. How do I know this info? Well a few years ago she was in the magistrates court for soliciting at the same time I was up in court for drunk and disorderly. I pleaded guilty and she was found guilty. Eat your heart out Dominic Littlewood. -- Adam |

Eat your heart out Dominic Littlewood. I would just ask for the arrears - and the money up front for the current job before I started. If he promised both in the phone call I'd call it evens. |

Eat your heart out Dominic Littlewood. Not good! You are answering his dishonesty with your own, if you have no intention of keeping the appointment. Better to take up the £50-00 shortfall at the "bargaining phase". I would think that his suggestion that you cost so much may be off putting for your future clients. Slander? Methinks you should "killfile" him. Have you his mothers phone number BTW? HN |

He always says he has passed his research to Trading Standards. They had a feedback program a while ago and trading standards thanked Dom (well, his researchers anyway) for doing their work for them. Twas quite interesting. Usually some builder closes a limited company leaving loads of debts and restarts it under a new name. Sometimes you feel sorry for the builder who can build things but quite obviously does not have the intelligence to run a business. Simon. |
