Cleaner recommendations?

Beware of Maria Longo.


I encountered Maria Longo's details on this forum and reached out. We agreed date, place and time for cleaning. I agreed to all her terms (48 hr cancellation, booking in advance, no keys, start time at 7 pm and no over exposure to particulate matter). I know. Otherwise known as dust!


I found her arrogant and rude. We were meant to have a call today (what for, I do not know since everything was agreed and all I needed were references, which I could obtain in writing). I gave her two numbers my mobile and my office line, my office line because reception on my mobile can be patchy. I ended up missing the calls on my mobile because of said patchy reception and then I was subsequently in meetings. I asked her to call my office line so my secretary could take a message and I would speak to her later. All reasonable I thought. I returned to a very rude email essentially cancelling the booking, refusing to use my office line, demanding that I supply an alternate mobile number, and asking me who did I think I was asking her to speak to my secretary, citing that she worked for doctors, lawyers etc and why was it she needed to call my office line.


Yes, over something as simple as asking her to call me back. So proceed with caution. There is a very good reason why this lady is trawling the forums. She is rude, difficult and completely nuts.

    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas! 
    • That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.    
    • Actually, if it was factory fitted then it's location would be documented. It's the fact that it can be fitted in different places which means that it's difficult for thieves to locate.
