Don't know if HQ will let me name them, but if you livearound the Heathrow area I can pm you with them.
Theyre even in that 'check a trader' thing.
Anyway. I ring them to ask for a quote for one hour or so of help in garden (Im disabled and cant manage).
guy quoted me £185.00 ! whaaaat?
I said a few years ago a guy did an hours work , a proprer gardneer and charged me £20.00. (Ive lost his contact details hence me phoning around).
guy on phone said,in a sarcastic voice, and I quote,' ' only 20 quid? 'he must have gone back to Romania by now.''
I said 'pardon'?
he said 'must have been a foreigner then''.
I said ' er, no, guy was English'. thinking thatw as a nasty remark to make .
When I said gardener was english, guy on phone (again in a sneery voice) says ''well hes probably on the dole right now.'' i was like, whaaaat?
so I said 'you are supposed to be a reputable firm, and yet youspeak to people, and about people like that? thats not proffessional. especially to a potential customer, which by the way you wount get from me''. and cut phone call there and then.
AIBU in thinking you dont say things like that to anyone? Im not one of the PC brigade that every single thing would offend, but i thought his attutude and tone was certainly not proffessional.
