I love that Rogue Traders, but I do think they ought to get a bird with big *** to dress up in leathers and ride the bike. Then they should make it clash with Eastenders to really wind up Mrs Meldrew.

No, just so big that they look like one when pushed together in tight leathers

To waste some more of the licence fee so they have an excuse to put it up!
Bloomin' cheek in my view. How can the BBC warrant putting it up when it shouldnt even exist. Just advertise if you have to

It tickled me slightly that last nights rogue trader was a plumber called Kevin. Whose name bears absolutely no relation to anyone, living or dead on this forum, and is totally coincidental. (He also traded in the Staffs area )

What annoys me is building trade workers are easy targets....yes there are a lot of con men in the trade but we arn't all like that.
Its just the media generalising again..picking on what they read in the papers....same with football...two films have been made recently about hooligans....and both featured Millwall...they just add things up...film+hooligans=Millwall
Its almost like the lazy journalism you see in the tabloids.
I cant for the life of me understand why they pay the con men on rogue traders....if they are so bad they they should bounce the cheques.
What they also fail to mention is the numbers of people out their who have work done...and dont pay for it, For every ten rogue traders theres probably one rogue customer...or people that try and knock you down after you have done the job.
Id love to see them chase a gang of gypo tarmackers..or the ones who come round asking if you want upvc fitted....cash only , no names, no numbers...and silicone everywhere!
Tips for you all when you get someone in to quote for work...
Always ask for a written quote..not an estimate..
Ask to see their insurance cover
Dont rely to much on qualifications....they are handy...but there are a lot of good tradesmen/women out there with none.....and a lot of rubbish with an armfull of certificates..
References......anyone can get their mother in law to write one...
Ask for an approximate start date and completion date...if the price is well within your budget then offer a decent drink if they get it done on time.
Dont EVER say to someone 'x £'s.....wow thats great, I thought it would be much more...that doesnt include materials obviously".....because it might actually include the materials....and a quick thinking guy may say 'oh no'...and add them on....
I could have had so many guilible customers on like that...decent tradespeople wont do it.....others may....
I always ask for people just to give me their best quote and tell them im not going to knock them down...but the best price or the best deal will get the job..
I never come down on a price because it gives the customer the impression I would have been happy to take unecessary money off of them in the first place.
I gave a customer a price recently (£460) and quick as a flash she said...'can you do it for £420?'....I said..'why would I want to do that?'...and then said do you ask them to do that when you go to Tescos?.....
The reply....."I go to Asda"
She wasnt getting the message really was she!
