Yes I had an issue with a builder recently (not our builder, he was working on a neighbour's property but needed access) just awful, apparently I was in the wrong for daring to ask how much longer the work would take as he was blocking our drive for over 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the neighbour didn't see fit to discuss it with us before hand, or indeed afterwards.

A few years ago we had a new front door and patio doors fitted, I had 2 kids at home at the time (2 and 3 years old). Two of the tradesmen from the company had a full on physical and verbal fight in our front garden in full view of me and the kids. Thankfully it was over pretty quickly, but the kids still talk about it. Horrible.


That, combined with totally shoddy workmanship, means I'm quick to advise against using that company when it crops up on the forum.

    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
