    The problem is that he will get more jobs and at the price he charges he does'nt need many. There should be a law against it as it is extortion!

    I have seen some crazy things in this world, but nothing could prepare me for what I saw on Watchdog last nite?
    I nearly fell of the soffa when he said ''I,ll just check your bill'', then proceeded to say £625 or something in that region, for replacing a doughnut in a toilet?
    Surely, she will not pay him, I thought?  But she paid.
    Very Very strange bloke.  How does he sleep at night?
    He even park his van round the corner and came back for a chat?  £110 + VAT for each half of an hour.
    On the bright side, he said they knew his prices in advance of the work being done?  In that case, get in, do the job ASAP and get out.  DONT DELIBERATELY FAFF ABOUT.

    Explains how he can drive a spanking brand new Mercedes Beinz Van.  Left me quite worried about my new van now?  If the programme had been aired sooner, I'd have gone for a used van.

    ceekay, I am no good at doing links.  Some of the intelligent chaps on here will do that for you, but if you go to BBC iPlayer, you should be able to watch Watchdog?

    Whats with lack of full-stops in grammar. I just can't understand why people don't use them. It's makes perfectly well educated people sound like they never went to school.

    Sorry it's my pet hate.

    I fully admit my grammar is not perfect. I also make typo errors sometimes using the keyboard of my phone rather than a laptop (because it so small and also auto corrects to a different word). But come on, no full-stops?
