Rufus Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi! If anyone has an Irish man knocking at the door offering to cut back your hedge/tree etc can you kindly ask him to go back and finish the job he's half finished and that he's already been paid for! What a mug I am giving him the money half way through! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10190-ripped-off-by-hedge-trimmer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearnpw1 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I was approached by this man in summer when he saw our garden was so overgrown and at risk of bringing down our fence. However he became very angry with me when I said I didn't want to pay him to do it because my partner and I would do it ourselves. He was utterly outraged! I found him quite threatening to be honest.

H Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I was approached by him too in the autumn, just a week after we had done our hedge. Told him we didn't need it thanks as it was obviously not needed!

Narnia Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Rufus, you are a mug. As for the other two comments, how do you know it was the same person? Maybe it was me? I'm Irish.

Loz Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Was his spiel something like "I've just finished another job and I have a half-empty lorry, so I can do you a good price to clear up your garden"? If so, he was around near us over summer. I sent him away as I intended to do it myself. Never did, though...
