Some of you know but I project manage all my mates jobs and he's involved mainly in external rendering systems, anyway, we took a satellite dish down today, no different to any other time, put some extra long screws in whilst we rendered so we could put the dish back, no problem, well it's never been before, but, this time we lost the signal and couldn't get it back for our customer, so, I called a company that said they were local which actually turned out to be a call centre sending local companies out to jobs, no big deal and was quoted £69 to realign, oh well, have to take that on the chin, bloke arrives in my absence 2 hours later and is saying it needs moving elsewhere to the other side of the house and will cost a minimum £120+ VAT, I say "get stuffed", the dish has been in that same position with a perfect picture for 3 years, he then tries to blame the scaffold, which has been up for a week and again with a perfect picture, he then blames trees that have grown since the dish was installed 3 years ago in that position, I said you're havin' a feckin' larf mate, have those tree's grown over the last week so much we now can't get a perfect picture!? He then wants the £69 for attempting to realign the dish but he won't guarantee a picture and wants the money upfront, all I can say now not to incriminate myself is, he's now left the building!!
What a scam, I'm now desperate to find a company, preferably a family one in or covering Birmingham (B16) that can help me sort my customer out so he has some TV over the Bank Holiday weekend?
DO NOT advise Ariel Force :angry:
