I can't fault our electrician, though he is more "London Kent", in Bexley. Is he near enough to you?

Hi Mark,

I was doing some early morning web surfing when I came across this posting.

I think its really great that you are diligent enough to check out tradesmen, too many people just opt for the cheapest and never bother to check credentials.

I would be more than happy to come and look at your project and provide you with a quote, if you would like a list of local customers I can provide that also.

Cheers,
James

Hi James,
thanks for getting back to me in cyberspace.In "real world scenario" though, well, we did contact you, you said you would pop around Thursday. Thursday came and went. Called you next day .... Oh, you thought it was the following Thursday. Ok, fair play, these things happen, so arranged a new date. Guess what, no show ... Left a message on your mobile to get back to us .... Never heard from you again.
My rule in life for using new tradesman .... One non show is acceptable, two is unacceptable and I never use them again.
Since found a reliable electrician who turned up not only the arranged day, but on time too. He's going to be real busy working on my home. I wish you well with your business, regards, Mark

Hi Mark,

Sorry to hear that, who did you speak to.. it could only be Helen, Gemma or myself?

That would make appointments.

Please email me with your details and I will try to find out what happened.

Hi Again,

Mark please send me an email with your details so I can see what went wrong.
I genuinely do not normally let people down, and if I did I would like to understand what happened.

Cheers

It would appear that KentElectrics changed his user name to JamesD1 partway through the day...

Aha that would account for it. Probably constituted advertising.

Yeah, I got my strophes twisted. But feel free to correct smile

I think it's Jameses. But it looks weird.
