And he negotiated the deal towards the end! Barmy. Any that don't resign are gagged from now on and what happens now to any fierce Brexiteers that don't resign after Raab? Shameless lot.

Did they get their crowdfunding then?

Disagree. It's not for you to guess why he didn't respond to several calls connected to possible work. I gave a negative review not what you emotionally call attacking him. It's for him, if he cares, to justify. Anyway I now have a range of quotes from others so I'll never know if he lives up to the better reviews! End.

Or answer the door to home deliveries!

You obviously didn't read any of my posts on here so you are wrong on all counts IMO. Tradespeople either want good relationships with future customers or are, for some strange reason, not bothered and lazily relying on the good reviews. I'm sure he probably is a good plumber but I'll never know! I left several messages and all he had to do was text to say he'd get back to me surely? Don't know why you are defending poor practice - very peculiar. You know nothing about my current work timetable but don't hold back on ignorant criticism. This forum is for locals to give both positive and negative feedback and remarks like yours (vested interest perhaps) won't stop that.

Fantastic - just remember not to go to Sainsbury's.

Wish he answered calls then!! Very disappointing in view of these credits.

I have been using this station regularly for the last coupe of years and, considering major works took place there quite recently, it just isn't fit for purpose. The entrance is tiny for the amount of commuters using the station and simply can't cater at busy times to allow for people entering and leaving buying tickets and trying to view the train times (which are at an inconvenient angle). The passageways can be blocked for ages at times with people trying to get in and out at the same time which must be a safety hazard. The shop has two exits which is telling while the station only has one. Also quite often there are up to 3 members of staff loitering and chatting at the ticket office instead of getting involved with customers to assist and encouraging people to move on. The train announcements can be poor with unintelligible messages and frequent platform changes so it must be difficult for older people or those with buggies to move in time. Poor customer service and ultimately an accident waiting to happen.

Yes you - you've contradicted yourself. ngelina Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > no, I said my other half has late night bonfires > and has a bbq for breakfast on the embers > he loves staying up all night - not the same > person, no.

You did.

Random people lighting bonfires in the early hours for BBQs and you don't think it unusual?? Really?

On the face of it this seems antisocial and potentially dangerous?

Just bad driving. A bollard should help. Bad driving! No consolation if you're a member of library staff, a shopper or a pedestrian at that moment!

Still don't understand why the owners haven't come on here to explain/apologise - terrible publicity you would think.

So they are ok to use for rubbish and then in green bins but not in blue bins - is that right?

Keep reading good reviews but I offered and held open 3 days for him to come to provide a quote and no response! Grr.

Presumably already too narrow/not fit for purpose which is why it keeps happening!

This is where the M&S deliveries will be so bollards not possible. More concerned about staff working in the building.

Can you post and not have replies allowed? Controversial if so.

I'm really confused by this. Ours is being monitored over many months before thee insurance company devise the best method to deal with the subsidence/cracks. I appreciate you want it done quickly, I certainly can't wait to have the work done, but I really can't see how a company can do this sort of repair work so quickly without doing any of the monitoring etc. Can you say what the actual diagnosis was?

Buildings insurance surely?

Read the thread first maybe?
