Try Malcolm Tierney. Expert joiner and carpenter. He has done loads in my house including some very tricky things that other joiners told me were not possible. He restored a Georgian sash window for me which could not be taken out of the wall without removing later Victorian features on the inside, (or expensive scaffolding plus remove Banham security features on the outside). He painstakingly cut out rot and spliced in perfectly fitting new pieces without taking the window out. It was like watching someone build a ship in a bottle. He also designed and made some very clever, invisible ventilation inside a Georgian wooden window rail to save the front of my house from an ugly air vent - to meet building regs when I had a new wood stove installed.

He is very precise and very clever.

    • I see some possibly overloaded grandparents, with mobility issues, trying to help their overloaded daughter. They put some feelers out in anticipation of having to look after their grandson who, it seems, it extraordinarily smart and requires extra stimulation. A big ask all round. That they weren't yet aware of exact dates hardly warrants your complaints of time-wasting. 
    • The shops selling gifts, interior stuff and clothes all sell different gifts, interiors stuff and clothes. They don't all have identical items, which would be ridiculous. It's a  completely different situation. The coffee shops and restaurants mostly also have different vibes, different food etc and cater to different tastes and pockets. The two empanada places have virtually identical displays of identical looking empanadas. I don't think anyone has suggested this move is "malicious" - that would make it even worse. Cheeky, yes, given the proximity to the first shop. I agree this is good advertising, though most people in ED probably don't look at the ED Forum (I stand to be corrected). Re the "organic grocer", if it's the one on the same side as Chango, yes their snacks are very tasty.  Unfortunately we were short changed there on several occasions when calling in late at night, and were once asked  a ridiculous price for a few items (with no price tickets on the snacks) so we don't go there any more. Hopefully these were all genuine mistakes, and hopefully things have improved since their refurb.
    • Makes sense though… or do you not think so? Can’t book anything without dates!!
