hedd-wyn Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nah, lads. He didn't turn up! I spoke to him last week on the phone in order to organise a visit, managed to get the Monday off so I called him to confirm. He said that he was grateful and would ring me sometime Monday. Waited until 3-00 then left him a message. Tried calling him today (several times), but again no luck! Really annoyed, it's taken me ages to get to this stage. Now I've wasted a day off waiting indoors incase he turned up. I've paid for the service, and feel let down. Not sure what to do, call him? (and possibly **** him off) Or wait until he gets in touch? ps sorry but the original thread/question didn't show up....just like the FLO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I'd be pretty grumpy too I recon. They're professionals and should act as such. Next time make the visit on your terms - make him come at a time that suits you! EDIT... I wouldn't worry if you **** him off - he needs a kick up the backside anyway. Have a moan and if that doesn't work ring his boss! Edited January 24, 2012 by njc110381 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangBangNik Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Very unprofessional unless he had a genuine reason. In this day and age with mobile phones it doesn't take much for a quick phone call though, just to let you know. When I had my visit he said he would be round Tuesday afternoon. I got home from work at 2pm and waited...... And waited.......... And waited some more. I was starting to get annoyed at this point as I wanted to take the dog out. After some more waiting I got a call at 7.30pm saying he will be there in half an hour. During our chat I happened to mention how long I'd been waiting to which he replyed " why, did I tell you I would be coming today?" turns out he'd completely forgotten and it was nothing more than sheer chance that he rang me that evening.
