What are your expectations from tradesmen? 27th September 2012 5:37 PM
Quite happy to clear up our mess, not to happy about cleaning the owners.
On the flip side, if you called the fire brigade to put chip pan fire
Out you, wouldn't expect them to clean up the kitchen or mop up
The water would you, if you did you might just end up with a few words of advice.

I was in a merchants yesterday, I always tend to ask how they are doing as they have to trade with 4 other plumbing merchants all within 100 yards of each other and they are at the end of the others. They are doing Ok, then talking about other plumbers and they said all those who rely on word of mouth are struggling whilst the others are just ticking over. Currently I won't spend any money on any kind of advertising and haven't done so for at least 4 or 5 years. Any money for advertising is put into the website for any searches to be done organically, thankfully I have now found a couple of guys who seem to know what they are talking about and I have no problem giving them a couple of thousand pounds and allowing them to get on with it as I actually get results. But to start ppc at

I have a simple straight forward view, why should I or anyone I employ, risk either being accussed of damaging a valuable item or furniture or risk damaging our backs with the chance of permanent damage to our wellbeing. An employee could make a claim against me, if he damged his back moving a washing machine say, the customer could make a claim for the damage to the lino when moving said washing machine. Yet we've just turned up to do a quick

And in the meantime Facebook will keep tapping into your credit card... Sounds like a great idea Can only ever see it working for large national businesses. Anything local or small you'd spend donkeys years trying to get any worthwhile likes. The other point is, the majority of my clients I can not for the life of me see them hanging out on facebook. They may well have visited the site, but once there thought to themselves that it was a site full of chavs and then logged out...

I chose to ignore the first letter streamline sent me, but I received another yesterday informing me that that I still need to do it otherwise they can fine me upto

When I was in the forces, you were on duty 24/7 seven days a week even if you were on home leave. When I signed the dotted line I knew exactly what my commitments were and what was expected. If Liz and Philip were sunbathing naked at Sandringham and sharing a line of coke, I would say that it was in the public interest to know, whether it was in their down time or not. If they do not want to be caught with their pants down or in this case bra off, then they hand back the golden spoon that feeds them just like Edward VIII did, the only so called royal who stood up for what he wanted yet he got slated for it. Top man in my books...

I think by and large the newspapers do print some worthwhile good articles, especially where corruption is involved and they out those at the top preaching to the rest of us how to lead our lives, when leading completly the opposite themselves. Newspapers need to make money, whether you like it or not sex sells, most companies will use some floosie to sell their product that's how it works. So when news of this topless photo came out, probably the top search term on Google over the weekend would have been 'topless photo kate' because that is what people or rather the majority of people would have wanted to see, I did and when I saw them, thought is that it! Not really worth making a fuss about. If you marry into this family and are susidised by the taxpayer expect to be hounded and photographed, because past history states that will happen regardless of what people think. After all if people didn't buy it, there wouldn't be a market for it...

There is no privacy in this country, that stopped when they plastered cctv in every shopping mall, high street, schools and so forth.... We all have our privacy infringed upon by big brother and will continue to do so. And whats good for us mere mortals is good enough for everyone else, oh yes not forgetting the satelite cameras above our heads.... I don't see what the issue is and as technology improves the less privacy we shall have. I don't see why someone should expect anymore privacy than I get when carrying out my daily business.. I think the average person in Central London will be snapped around 200 times or more per day. And did they ask for my approval? Did they heck...
