C4 - can't remember the name of it, but Builder was Irish - Sean, and customer was an English bloke who mainly kept schtum and his gobby foreign bint of a wife. Building an extension (conservatory I would say) in Lomdon.

Anyone see it? Not sure if I were a tradesman, I would want to work for that couple - who if I were a customer, I would want Sean the Builder doing any work for me :shock:

Makes me wonder why these people agree to be on the Telly.


As an aside, Sean the Builder and the presenter had a meeting at "The Claddagh Ring" in Hendon - To be sure, to be sure, I had my Wedding Reception there 12 years ago last weekend, so I did :lol:

I must confess Hoovie I watched it, and I have my own opinions about it, but we only see what they want us to see.

I know she was gobby, and you would want to strangle her, but we dont know what she has had to put with.

My thoughts are based on being in the trade, and a female to boot :-P , but the last few months I have experienced what this woman has experienced, and I wasnt the client, I just happened to working there at the same time.

I gave up working with other trades on new work, extenstions etc, for reason I wont divulge, as you might have to kill me :wink: but the odd time I have had to work with other trades, and I am shocked, gutted, and amazed how some of these tradesmen get away with what they do.

I do see it from both points, but because I have principles, and high standards regards my work, I find very hard to understand why certain trades do what they do to people, and how they can sleep at night.

It would be nice to have a program that shows the good side of trades, instead of all the negative.

Didnt see it but some customers provoke issues all the time, questions and questions and I dont like the look of that? And are you going to leave it like that? All before the job is done - some of them really wind me up.
