Beware of door knockers.

Trish Jarvis from The Treeman Ltd

Please share this story with elderly family and friends to help them be aware and keep them safe. Help them to make a plan if it happens to them. 😞
On Queen's birthday, we received a call from a very distressed elderly client who had been approached by door knockers insisting on doing some tree work for her.
She knew it didn’t seem right so-called us to check. She was frightened as they didn’t seem to want to leave. 😡
Mike was in the area and went around immediately to make sure they left and check that she was ok.
No reputable company will ever knock on doors and insist on doing work that has not been requested. They did this because she was vulnerable and they took advantage of her.
If it was you and your mates going around with a trailer and a chainsaw intimidating people …shame, shame, shame, on you!!!

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
