peachy

Yes thanks Melissa. I called them yesterday and they phoned me today. The more people who complain the more likely something will be done.

I'm having exactly the same problem and it seems to be around 6pm in the evening and 7ish in the morning. The cold tap runs fast but when I switch over to the hot tap there's very little pressure and the boiler is not sparking up. It has been getting worse recently and I did have Thames Water round a couple of years ago but they said it was my boiler. British gas said it was Thames Water. I'm not aware the ground floor flat has the same issues.

Bring back The Drum

Haven't seen you on the 6.55 for a while Kid Kruger!

I had many a good night at The Drum! It was one of those places where you could knock on the shutters after closing and be let in. The music was always good there too. I was quite sad to see that place go.

Thanks very much for your help. I have had a call from the police today too.

Apparently my post regarding Suzieb & Chris was a bit cryptic. What I meant was if you read Chris's postings you will see that he starts his sentences with a full stop rather than putting a full stop at the end. I've never seen anyone do that before except for Suzieb! What a coincidence!!

Suzieb is Chris too.

Actually when I was getting my four quotes I met with Pawel. He was very professional, I had seen his portfolio and I still have his business card. I regret not going for Pawel but my big mistake was going for the cheapest. More fool me!

If you click on Peristalsis second link to Chris and pps it is obvious who suzieb is. It's all in the full stop!

They are not a company but just two con-men pretending to be builders/plumbers. I believe they live in Dulwich.

Admin, I was also supplied references from: mattsmith4563@******.co.uk and chrissymarshal2009@*****.com I wonder if these are one of the same?

I have pm'd you.

Thanks Jeremy, I really hope they get their come-uppance!

Thanks very much, I've just done so.

sorry, meant to say I paid by cheque, not cash!

Thanks, I have sent you an e-mail with the Action Fraud helpline reference. They were recommended on this forum by "lordshiplanegirl" and "JenniferSE22". I also asked for references which I now believe to be fake. I've given all the details to the police. I had been recommended Will and he came round with his "partner" who I believe is called Chris. Will is probably mid 30's and his partner probably in his 60's. His partner didn't look English but not sure of his nationality. I also paid by cash and he asked for the cheque to be made out to Scott Pike. I believe I had a very lucky escape in the fact they didn't do any work on my flat. I had been saving to get my bathroom done for ages and just feel so stupid how I could misjudge someone so badly.

Alex, see below If you know anyone else who believes they have been a victim of fraud who wants to report the incident please ask them to complete the online report found at www.actionfraud.police.uk, or phone the contact centre on 0330 303 0800.

Alex, exactly the same thing happened to me just before Christmas. I have the fraud police looking into it. He and his partner came round just before Christmas and they persuaded me to give them ?600 up front. I stupidly obliged thinking that he probably has people letting him down last minute. I asked for references but I believe they are probably all written by him. I then dug a bit further and saw some bad reviews on the forum. I e-mailed these people for advice but did not hear back. I also got in touch with the administrator asking if the people who had recommended were one and the same. I began to get more and more nervous and on the actual day he did not show up. I had taken the day off. Finally at about 2pm we received a response (it was obviously Will/Scott or whatever his real name is) saying that he'd been involved in a small accident and his brother should be with us! We didn't employ his brother to do the job so needless to say we asked for the money back. It's now January and still nothing. Alex I recommend you report it to the police. I think you'll find the two people who constantly recommend Will from Prestige is actually Will himself.

Thanks Callie, I've just noticed the bow now from your photo! I mentioned this thread when I went in to the shop. I met with the husband who was a very nice man. I think most of the furniture and paintings etc are done by family members. I think they are in the process of having a website made for them.

Mine's working now thanks!

I popped in there today but thought it was called La Belle. It is a gorgeous little shop with some great ideas for Christmas presents. I found it through this post so thank you.

The lady in white was called Mad Alice! I got a real shock when I first saw her. I then found out that she was an outpatient at the Maudsley and the poor woman had been badly abused.
