Germany, we meet in NZ about 7 years ago.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

So my brother in law, despite having lived in the UK for a decade, is having great trouble getting things done. His current thing is getting a painter for the "flat" he just purchased. Being from the states I'd think this would be relatively simple. But in Manchester it seems to be difficult to actually get someone out for a quote and to do the work. Any words of British wisdom?

Find a Polish guy. They'll be very diligent, turn up when they say they will and do a good job.sunnyside wrote:So my brother in law, despite having lived in the UK for a decade, is having great trouble getting things done.

That said, there are a couple of websites that give reviews on tradesmen. They provide reviews for said people:

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
I had to get my kitchen ceiling replastered recently. I just googled "Plasterers in Banbury". The first link that came up was a list of plasterers, I rang the first name on the list and he was round to have a look at it a couple of hours later. Six days after that he was back and did the job. Great work, very reasonable price, couldn't be happier.sunnyside wrote:So my brother in law, despite having lived in the UK for a decade, is having great trouble getting things done.

Maybe your BIL could try that?

Yup, or one of the many others we have in the country now. We're really quite replete with them.Mikey wrote:When he's done cleaning your llama-thrusted engine, you mean?IanKennedy wrote:Find a Polish guy.

Well, 2 weeks away in Scotland has done me wonders. Except for my knee's, hopefully they'll forgive me for conquering Ben Nevis soon.
