I don't know when that changed, but what use to be a given--you could count on someone doing a GREAT job, especially if recommended---Just doesn't exist anymore, with anything....!<br />It is so discouraging.

So for example they may fit a bath beautifully, but chip the basin with the hammer while they are fitting the bath.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-39903534141044608902010-07-10T03:59:37.751-04:002010-07-10T03:59:37.751-04:00Take no notice of Mr. Kenju!

Men would just sit on their backsides and let things happen around them at half cock, and never notice the circles left by unmoved pots. (And that is a metaphor for all badly done work!)<br /><br />I'm just wondering how pressure washing firms will do in our area now there is a hosepipe ban?
