If anyone has watched this....it is a great plan....but why dont they follow a similar route to Rogue Traders?

Clive Holland is a big guy! Why dont we see him naming and shaming the idiots that do the work...and then go round and beat the cr4p out of them??

All of these programs are a fking annoyance. They all harp on about rogue traders then they invariably get away in a van covering their face.

I want to see "to catch a predator" style busts, where a ripped of customer can rip shreds off of them verbally and the police and trading standards are ready outside to seize materials and arrest the fraudsters!

But no, they all follow the same formula of doing precisely fk all while making out they are sorting the guy out.

Yeah I do agree!

The program does give practical advice on how to limit the chances of getting ripped off....but he always says lets phone them and give you the chance to chat to the builder knowing full well that 95% of the time the phone either goes straight to answer machine or has been cut off!

At the very least it needs to be name and shame...but I think your plan is even better....although you missed out the big dogs that are sent in to rip them apart!
