Just a hopefully-now-not-so-naive boater wanting to increase knowledge & help others etc. I recall getting a quote from a sailmaker in Windermere for a couple of repair jobs to a foresail and a canopy. He said he couldn’t be precise, so I asked what it couldn’t possibly be more than. He said something like £500. I asked him to confirm it more than once, and he did. The suggestion was that it would probably be much less than £500. Got a bill for about £650 and vowed never to use him again. (the figures might be a bit out as it was 2006, so memory has faded - but I haven’t forgotten what he did!) I too learned a lesson, but have experienced similar many times over the years, and wonder how some people stay in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE TANKBUSTERS Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Its very simple, members that put adverse comments of companies or individuals and do not put the truce facts, mislead other members.

LadyG Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Duplicate or multiple user accounts ("sock puppets") aimed to deliberately deceive or circumvent disciplinary action are not permitted. In fact, the general interpretation is one account per person. I can't see this ever looking good for THE TANKBUSTERS : imho the only way out would be to refund the customer about £400. A quote is a quote, the customer could contact Trading Standards and ask them to look at this transaction. Edited March 8, 2019 by LadyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boater Sam Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 TRUCE facts? Does that mean that "COOL" aka "THE TANKBUSTERS" doesn't want to have a go at me for my comments? I'm entitled to my opinions. Or is it that the original post was a fabrication or outright lie? Which part of chicanery does not apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that advice - which, although you have not mentioned it, comes from our published site rules. Do you wish to suggest that one or more of these rules has been broken somewhere in this thread? If so, please specify which one(s). 10 hours ago, THE TANKBUSTERS said: Its very simple, members that put adverse comments of companies or individuals and do not put the truce facts, mislead other members.
