Warning! A guy knocking on doors asking if front garden needs doing

Recommended Posts

I had a knock on the door asking if I would need my garden tidied up, trimming etc... I agreed as he quoted me a good price, unfortunately the job was not satisfactory and he had ruined my border leaving it in need of repair and now I think it looks worse than when he started! I had to nip out and left my wife to pay him on job completion in cash.


The guy sounded like he was Irish and had a bag with him, the point of this post is to let people aware of his workmanship is not great if he does knock your door :(


Maybe I'm just unlucky on this occasion but hey... you pay for what you get right?

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
