    Do they also repair gutter?

  2. Just had Dannyy in( through recommendations from this lovely forum) & he was as professional & efficient as you guys said he is.


    Fixed my toilet cistern in no time at all & did the cleaning too.


    Any problems you have I seriously recommend Danny & you can contact him on 07879 220447.

  3. It's not what the OP was asking.

  4. The point of my post is that you posted @ 3:14, DF replied @4:56, & my post @ 5:48. That was a good over 2 1/2 hrs past before you responded & only after I posted.


    When people post here asking for something, I 'm quite sure they tend to always look in here, I'll say quite frequently, to see replies, it's just common sense & also it's a matter of courtesy to at least acknowledge responses.


    You must take into account also that FMs who post reply esp when offering advise would also feel anxious too to know whether they were able to help.


    I've been on both sides before ie asking for advice and offering advice so I know how it feels.


    Just saw Fox's reply -


    Fine if you're not offended but I think it's still common courtesy for people asking for assistance to acknowledge such gesture when given one.

    If it's Truepennys then you're right. I was dealing with them I think last year or year before, can't quite remember when.:-$


    So they've been in business for sometime now but only managed to open a shop this year & I say good luck to them, they're good guys & really care for their customers. Too bad we never concluded on any business together...I was just too fussy.

  6. Sorry but one must be that gullible if they are easily conned by someone like that woman.


    Surely soon as you open the door faced by this begging hustler esp if she does not look the part, you should at that instance already smell a rat!


    Why not say you don't have money either and close the door on her face, just like that!

  7. I always ignore the woman hanging around at the front of Somerfields esp when she's with a child or handing out something...I can't abide with projecting some emotional blackmail...I hate it!


    The guy outside Sainsburys selling Big Issues though is not a problem to me, as he seems like a nice man....not pushy & also polite. Bought once from him but ever since just politely declining to buy again.

    If you are in a customer facing work environment there is no room for having sense of apathy, boredom, or anything of negative attitude.


    And no, I've never worked in Supermarket, if that's what you mean....but that's has nothing to do with what's being discussed here.


    Anyway before I digress further... heroic job by that lady, Niki, maybe Sainsburys could hire her!

  9. In US, security guards in depots or warehouses (B&Q, Homebase equivalent in UK) even have guns (not that I want same practice here). But that role is taken very seriously and those guards are also totally alert.


    I've observed some SGs in Sainsburys sometimes and they are yawning, dragging their feet, staring at a distance, I feel like making this point to Justin King (CEO) actually...and same goes with the cashiers who more often than not have long faces and rude.
