A friendly word of warning re: Green Handyman Sam

Hello,

I just wanted to pass on a friendly word of warning re: Green Handyman Sam (I got his details from EDF). I had the misfortune of hiring him to complete a few odd jobs to finish off my kitchen and install some shelves recently. Whilst he was very pleasant in person, half way through completing the job, he sent me a series of more and more abrupt emails demanding that I pay him the full amount (which I did - I know, a mistake,but had thought he seemed trustworthy), before coming back to complete the work the following week. Of course, he never returned the following week. He kept hold of my door keys for two weeks, which felt a little disconcerting, and only returned them when I involved the police.


It may be a one-off, but I just wouldn't want anyone else to have the same experience.

    • They’ve backed away from pretending they produce their own goods recently. That claim sat at the centre of the misdirection for years. They’ve now accepted they can’t sustain it, so they’re beginning to highlight the local independent bakeries whose products they actually sell. The business is essentially a courier model running on a slim margin.
    • Another sparrow hawk visor to our cherry tree at the weekend.  Our robin survived, but we may be a sparrow down.     any thoughts on bird feeders & bird baths with the current bird flu?  I try to wash out the bird bath most days when at home, but not on the 3 days in a row that I’m in the office & the bird feeders rather less regularly. Would it be better not to have at all (as my partner thinks)? 
    • OOOPS. My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine. I hadn't put a stamp on it. I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice). I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it.  Sorry posties.
