Anyone watch this?

I'm astounded at the sheer stupidity of some people.

A couple in scotland had a canopy installed which fell and damaged the car. The installer came back, who I can only assume was blind and repointed the damaged wall. He CHARGED them for the work (which they paid) and they they gave him £2000 quid more for solar panels, which surprise surpise didn't ever appear!!!

I'm guessing they don't have a log burner, as they would be throwing their 20's in there to keep warm.

Fools.

lol some people have more money that sense! i know every £ out of our household funds gets scruitinised by my lovely accountant (wifey) it's amazing how people can spend thier wedge and not know what or when they are getting for thier money

I watched it the other day about a couple who got a builder in to build them an extension. The builder ripped out an internal load bearing wall, left a lot of the ground floor of the house as a shell and disappeared with all the cash.

If the couple phoned Cowboy Builders (the one with Melinda Messager) they would have had the whole house done, extension finished and new furniture.

Instead they phoned Cowboy Trap who seem to have £100 budget and all they did was rebuild the internal wall and left them with the mess they had at the start of the programme.

If Cowboy Trap got rid of the presenter who just seems to shout all the time and put his wages into the 'good guys' budget then the people who appear on it may have something decent done

I agreem but out of the two, I'd rather watch shouty than melinder and the the build who can NEVER do what she wants with the budget. Sooooooooooooo, off she goes to beg, borrow, steal from all of the local trades and companies and just about finises in time - phew.

It's annoying that these compies do things like that and 1) get their names blured out (BBC) to prevent advertising and 2) the people who own the houses never really seem that bothered (alright, there are a FEW exceptions). For christ sake woman, shed a fake tear of joy or something.

Seriously....I need to stop watching thing. And I quote "I brought them clothing while it was raining, as they didn't have any".

Cry. Me. A. River.

Do you think they have 100 quid to spend? I think that's being pretty generous.......I'll bet a blind persons labrador could caulk better than the bloke on TV.....

The £100 budget I think they do have does include £50 for tea and cup cakes for Clive thingymabob
