Re: What Would You Say Have Been The Biggest ‘Rip-Offs’’?
I needed a new boiler. I chose the middle quote from a local man . The day arrived he stayed 2 hours . He came in and out when he wanted doing an hour here and there . He kept going onto other jobs . I had a pre booked holiday I couldn't cancel so he assured me on my return it would be complete . I left my key with him ( no choice ) and he suggested a payment cheque . Oh he was charming . I returned 7 days later and he hadn't been near . I rang an old boyfriend upset and in need of support , he rang him and gave him a few choice words to finish the job . Gas fitter arrived 3 days later . Finished the job .Re: What Would You Say Have Been The Biggest ‘Rip-Offs’’?

Energy smart meters, they are supposed to 'save energy' on the assumption that we are all so stupid we can't read a meter and submit a reading and we leave appliances on and use fuel unnecessarily regardless of the fact we pay an exorbitant amount for it .Re: What Would You Say Have Been The Biggest ‘Rip-Offs’’?
My latest rip off is tax, the HMRC in their wisdom did not send me tax returns for three years, so naturally being a pensioner I thought I didn't have to pay tax. Wrong, a few weeks ago I got a tax demand for three years of back tax. Due, the letter said, to me getting more than my allowance per year.
