Just wanted to add another strong recommendation for Elliot. He changed some internal doors for us and was very accommodating with fitting us in to his busy schedule. Elliot was great to deal with, the work was all done to a very high standard and he worked beyond quoted hours to ensure we had everything in place before a building control visit. We will definitely call him again for any future carpentry / joinery work. Thanks Elliot!

Another recommendation for Gary. I found his details on the forum when looking for someone who could fit in a short notice repair and repaint of our front door that we needed doing before the following weekend. The paint on the door had bubbled due to poor preparation when it was last painted. Gary advised us what he could do in the time and budget we had, and also advised us that the door ideally needed fully stripping back and re-priming at some point to avoid the reoccurring problem. As we needed the job done within 2 days we couldn't go with the full renovation of the door - but he managed to fit us in around his other jobs and came back to do touch ups after he had been paid. Gary was careful to leave everything clean and tidy, and wanted to be sure that we were 100% satisfied with the work before he left. We are happy with the finish given the time we gave him.

Did she have any children in tow? We've had a lady try the same a couple of times (with a well worn tatty sponsorship sheet on a clipboard). The story just didn't ring true and I politely declined. Since then I've seen her in the rounds in various streets in local area as I've been driving past. Usually she has a child in a buggy and one or two walking alongside.

Oh no! sorry to hear that d walker... :(

It's unbelievable isn't it? Obvious that people are furnishing their own gardens/houses with other people's things as these items are surely too random to sell on. Next one I buy will be chained to the drive!

Some low-life pinched a bay tree from our front porch yesterday evening; if anyone saw somebody carrying one off / loading it into a car yesterday between 7-10pm, please let me know. Can't believe that you can't even leave potted plants and trees out these days without risk of theft. Some people are so low. Sad that I'm now actually considering getting cctv installed.

We booked James from Press Play (http://www.pressplay.org.uk/) for my son's 7th 'circus skills' birthday party. James was absolutely fantastic and I really wanted to recommend him on here. James kept 25 children enthralled and entertained for 2 hours and everyone had a go at everything from peackcock feather balancing, pedal-go riding, diabaolo, juggling, plate-spinning, and scarf juggling. James was highly entertaining, great at building confidence in the kids and managed to keep them completely absorbed in the activities the whole way through. He was also very funny which is always a bonus! Even the adults couldn't resist joining in. Contact details are on his website above. Just brilliant - Thanks James!!

Hi - just saw your post and thought I'd share details of the entertainer we had at my son's 7th birthday party yesterday (I have just recommended him in the classified section): We booked James from Press Play (http://www.pressplay.org.uk/) for my son's 7th 'circus skills' birthday party.
