A lady from N Power knockec on my door this evening at 6pm.


Despite repeatedly telling me she was not selling my anything, the large N Power bag and sales chat gave it away (I am in sales, so it was a dead giveaway anyway). I told her on numerous occasions I would not sign anything without the other residents being present. However, she continued to fill out the contract and push for me to sign. She even wanted to come in, use my laptop, and tell me that they are cheaper on 'U-Switch'. She claimed she would be coming back at 7, so I have taken refuge in the pub!

"and then they came back an hour later - the same guy"


NEVER do a runner as they will always return as the situation is inconclusive and they still have a chance of a Sale!


Tell him/her straight in future I AM NOT INTERESTED(assuming that you are not Sean:)))....I tell them that I get a good deal as my Darling Dad works for an Electric Company.

Well he did... but he died in 1971.

After asking her to repeat everything she'd blurted out as I opened the front door - because I hadn't understood a word she'd said in her strong east European accent - I just asked the woman who she was representing and when she told me it was NPower I just said I wasn't interested. She went away.

A cute French woman being quite persistent. Sounds like the old man might have wanted to sign up to something.

Not that I'm trying to cause a rift in the lute. Ignore me, I'm being silly.

I'd advise you to go with St Andrews, I hear the caddies are nutters, and as for some of the bar stewards...

  • 4 weeks later...

My bf worked for these people for a couple of weeks - no basic pay, just commission. I told him they were dodgy and he shouldn't bother - but anyway, he made four sales in that time and is due a massive ?30 for each sale and has been told he has to wait three months to be paid, after having to complain to the big boss as his team leader said he wasn't due any money at all.


The company who recruit all the sales people and who are responsible for their training and pay are called 'Eclectic Marketing'


They should be reported to somebody - not sure who - but they are awful.

Chav & Dez (?), thanks for letting me know these companies are a shower of bastards.

I just used to listen to their old 'Rabbit', an' 'ave it.

Until you piped up, I thought they were charitable foundations, dedicated to the common good.

I'll be wary of them in future.

Thanks.

    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html

    • Thank you, it seems to be a few mins from Albrighton Community Fridge so I'll split the load.
