BRITISH WORKMEN

[karl]

After Marian's carry on with the builders it's now my turn with trying to get someone to fix my fence after the gales late last year.

The man concerned (David) is a colleague of a neighbour and he has done fence work for us both over the years. I phoned him at the start of December and he said he would come, called again and he said he had not forgotten me. He is prone to arriving unexpectedly, however we are now into March and a further text last week has gone unanswered. It is out of character for him as he's been doing work on and off for us all for years.

I saw an ad in a local shop for someone who did all that kind of work, I called and left a message, he got back to me yesterday saying he would come today at teatime so I said I hoped he would come before it got dark, it's now 6.55 and pitch black and nobody has come - typical !!!!

They moan when they can't get work and then when they are offered it they don't take it

Well you did say he's prone to arriving unexpectedly, best keep the kettle on tonight.

I am still waiting to get my fence fixed-and the tarpaulin off the garage--but I did receive my invoice today-after nearly 6 weeks of waiting. Still got my spare bedroom, and downstairs toilet to sort out. !!

Ha Ha L & H but you can't mend fences when it's pitch black outside.

some builders keep their options open ...its not right to mess people about but they do it to get the most money they can...

The original guy (David) has got me concerned as he is not anwering his phone, it's really out of character for him so I hope he is alright.

I last spoke to him in December.

The guy who never turned up on Sunday called yesterday thinking he'd said Monday but he pdked up a bug , anyway he came today and saw what needs to be done and gave me a quote which I accepted so hopefully he will do the work soon.
