Alan the locksmith is a STAR: he changed my locks about two months ago and made me feel secure in my home after a couple of unpleasant experiences with builders and tradesmen - then, today, when I thought I'd had my keys pinched after leaving them in the door, he said he'd be round within the hour, even though it was a Saturday evening. He really is wonderful, kind and re-assuring and his prices are very reasonable too.

Colin the Handyman is just such a nice chap too - pleasant to have around, worked quietly and efficiently repairing my fence, putting up some Ladderax shelving, curtain rails and other bits and bobs. And again, reasonably priced. I'm sure I will use him again!

Having had some very unpleasant experiences with builders recently - no fun at all when you're a woman living alone - Alan and Colin restored my faith. Decent, honest people who are good at what they do as well.

Their number's are:

Alan - 07870 199771

Colin - 07754 691541

  You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

  I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
