Rip Off Britain
Yorkie:
Most of us will have seen one of the TV exposure programs such as Rip Off Britain, Rogue Traders etc. and are appalled at what we see and what some traders and service companies can get away with. No doubt some of us have had a bad experience with builders, plumbers, electricians and the like, but have not got any satisfaction when a complaint has been made.
This Forum could be our platform to highlight bad workmanship or poor service in the Three Towns. What do others think?

It would be very risky to list bad comments without being 100 per cent sure of the facts, seems much safer to just list the good ones.

That's true, it would be very easy for someone with a grudge against a particular trader to write poor reviews.

Quite right Dave, that's why in our trade we have no faith in sites like TripAdvisor >:(

Well said-- you only need another person in the same trade to make a bad comment and it goes against you. There are no checks as to whether the person concerned has actually availed himself of your services, or if indeed he is just being nasty.
