Weesteev,
There are always bad contractors. I have yet to see any good ones. I remember l was speaking with some Cable installers in Northolt. And they told me that they were from Scotland. And were down here to clear up the mess left by London contractor's.

A very good friend of mine - I recommended to VM. Phone me to say that that VM had installed that morning, and he wanted to see what they had done.

I was shocked, They had run the cable OVER a hedge, and then round a FLOWER POT on the window sill and THROUGH AN OPEN window.

I phone VM and told them l was there, took photos and sent to the CS rep mobile phone. They called the engineers while l was there. They went back an hour later. And were fuming that l had called.

I was shown a worksheet that they were given. They had TWENTY job for that day. And they told me that they couldn't complete, unless they made shortcuts.

And that to collect extra equipment, they had to meet at a garage in Bedfont, where they met Managers. The engineers get commission on how much work they do.

I only have VM, as my wife insist on it.
