Dear Somerset Westers, I post this in absolute frustration and despair. In my life have I not crossed paths with so many people who do not want work! Carpenter cancelling last minute, and only because I phoned to confirm, electrician having me wait around for two days as 'he is on his way' only to let me know later that he had a breakdown. I haven't bothered to ask if it was emotional or his car. Glass company haven't replaced a broken window pane in 2 weeks because 'it is raining'. Is there anybody out there that can help us out?!
I need a carpenter for a day to finish off some skirting. An electrician to add some security lights for us and repair a few small issues. A glass company that will actually replace the window panes! I know it is raining for crying in a bucket. I can tell by the water streaming in through my window.
What happened to taking pride in ones work and reputation? The reality is that of providers just show up when they say they will, and do a half decent job they will absolutely thrive because the majority's service delivery is non existent.
