Sad but sureley nobody should be falling for that one now, were they asking you to put it right, were they pensioners, care in the community or something?

No no we must continue to support and cherish their unique culture and values, and let them shite all over the place, fly tip, disregard Planning permission, build shanty towns, rip off the elderley and daft, practically rape their women and avoid Tax, all in the name of Liberalism and ethnic diversity. :D

I think the 'seven grand cash' sets alarm bells ringing.

Sorry, have no sympathy what so ever. Buy cheap, buy twice, who, in their right mind, parts with that sort on money CASH?

Pensioners are very vulnerable Hag, they get the hard sell and cave in thinking they need it doing, They get confused, frightened, in a word......conned. The knocker boys know all the tricks. Scum, poor scum :angry:

Classic pikey job that, the white chipping chucked in to the surfacing is a dead giveaway.

It's about time the quarries stifled the supply of 'mac to these types....that would solve the problem.

A few quarries local to us have got wise to them after the pikies have had a lorry on day work for 5 hrs at various jobs, for them to say the last job is "Just around the corner" - and for them to do a bunk - leaving the driver with 5+hrs of unsigned daywork.

Pure filth.

I'm a hard politically left bloke from the '60's - but
we had recently dodgy irish tarmac bullying my mother-in law.
She's great at 86 - fiercely independent - but these guuys were pretty hard - luckily Joan had the nous to insist on phoning her son who works just round the corner....
No he doesn't - he's miles away - good old Joan - it's shite it's come to this.?

It shows what sort of scum you are up against, they not only grass each other up, in the media, they then turn it into a money spinning fight. I've had serious dealings with pikies in the past and now avoid them like the plaque. They would turn their own granny over for fiver.

I've had them pull up on jobs I'm doing and they start asking seemingly innocent questions, "have you any work", "where do you get this and that from"etc...I always make sure to clear everything out of sight from that point on cos your sure of a visit later.
We stood amazed about a yer ago when some jumped out a transit in a very well to do area of Brum, and proceeded to chainsaw an old Birch tree down, straight onto a main road, blocking traffic for at least an hour while they frantically sawed it into pieces and threw it on the back of their pick up. Tried to call the Police but too busy to respond!!

Just read this - My brothers father-in-law was done like this. £5k for a dodgy fence and some bark poured over flower beds. Old fella was 87 at the time and was crying when he realised what he had done. Injured twice in WW2, the second time after he was ordered from his hospital bed following a leg injury by an officer who said he was fit enough to fire a gun. The lowest of the low.
