just when you think things couldn't get any worse

glad i don't advertise in the local free paper. i am so tempted too call him but i think i would just end up calling him a knob head over and over.

 

[Roger Welton]

How can he possibly do that and not lose money on every job

possible printing error

 

[julesverne]

not a printing error been in there for last 3 or 4 weeks

I could advertise "Boilers from £200" if I wanted to get some attention.

Trouble is, all you would get for your £200 is an old dented Chaffoteaux Band D boiler (with no flue) that has been lying around the warehouse for a decade.

Just because someone advertises something, doesn't mean its actually available.

5 per hour is below min wage lol

 

[julesverne]

sod it bit the bullet sent him a txt see if he bites

 

[Phil_Plumb]

the sword cuts both ways gentlemen,

Now if i had a tradesman say he would fix something of mine for £5 an hour, i would politely show him the door and invite him to use it, as i believe its a mark of sub standard work

 

[julesverne]

its not a problem for me as the local free paper is crap. but those guys advertising along side him. i can see it now. cust calls i need a new boiler how long will take. gsr replies about a day if a combi swap. cust says oh so it will only cost £40.00 plus parts then. GSR suddenly shiiiites a brick LOL

 

[julesverne]

i just dont get it.

but i wouldnt trust anyone offering services at that price. but im sure there are people think ooooohhhhh bargain and to hell with the consequences. we've all had em.
