Community 'Pub'?

[Dan]

Do you think a community 'Pub' type forum would be used? An access only forum to discuss topics you don't want to rest of the world to see, perhaps trouble customers or trade prices and so on?

 

[uug197h]

sounds good to me

 

[bishbosh77]

Sounds good to me, we have somthing like that on the tiling forum

 

[ProffesorPlumb]

Lets run with it Dan

 

[obseen16]

sounds like a gooooood idea to me

 

[copperspropper]

great a pub

 

[PLUMB111]

half a larger & a packet of crisps, pls.
Sounds good.

 

[heinz57]

Yeah, sounds like a good idea. I know of a few good tradesman who have been burned by one couple in my village who just plain refuse to pay up even when the jobs been done well. The public have web sites etc where they can check on tradesmen, why cant we have a place to check up on dodgy customers?

 

[Puddle]

Yes .sounds a good idea
As regards customers,I always say their are alot more dodgy customers than their are dodgy tradesmen,funny you never see watch dog type programs going after them.Not so much on small jobs but have seen alot of contrctors do large works,do a great job,or even won an award and still struggle to get that final 5% retention payment

Are we going to get one then ? as this thread is quite old now. Definately need it when discussing prices , just like the tiling forum. Cheers

The pub is indeed nearly open...

PM Dan or me with some details to show you are in the trade..i'e'.. website link or a listing with your details on or simply just pm your details and then you get access....we only ask for details to keep the members who are only after sales out..like suppliers etc...

The pub is for tradesmen not sellers.......

look forward to seeing you in there....and it is a 24 hr bar...

 

[johnmcginty]

Yup 100 posts so pmd dave thanks

 

[REDSAW]

i'll get the next one in!

i was actually contemplating setting up a site to list all those 'problem customers' too, you know those to avoid bounced checks etc.
done by area ie leeds, preston etc.

do it.

 

[johnmcginty]

Excellent idea.

[unguided1]

hey redsaw34
I think he might ave, but knowing what painters are like, i dont blame im, I mean painters think that they have actually got a proper trade, bunch of prima donnas!!!!!!!!!.
expecting trouble for that last statement.

 

[REDSAW]
