In 2002 following a a near death illness we decided that life was to short and we would spend some money on a new kitchen.....

One guy came around and would not leave, I was recovering and not in any position to get physically arsy, had to ring my brother for help, he was gone before help arrived....No wonder some old people sign agreements just to get rid of the salesman....

We had a gutter and fascia quote and the guy did the got to phone the boss bit, going into a different room, leaving behind his briefcase

well rather than swmbo and I talking it over I legged it next door to see how much they paid for the same job, a semi, a couple of years earlier....

needless to say the salesman left empty handed even after his extra never to be repeated discount....£2200 and got the Job done by a local guy for £900.....

Had the drive done on a cold call, a proper job as well, but I said no first, indicating that payment could be in cash, got a phone call a couple of days later with a different price, if I paid cash.... We did, but not till after the Job, great they were, block paved all done properly by friendly workers who knew what they were doing....I had checked the company out and it was a real one with offices in the town I work in...
