unreliable tradespeople
Kia Ora, Why is it that certain tradespeople, who advertise in the Bay Chronicle weekly do NOT even bother to get back to you? We wanted our water tanks cleaned so we made a few calls. One to one people was answered by their daughter who assured me that , "dad will get back to you when he gets in." I never happened. So we left it over a week and tried again. This time it went to voice mail. We left our phone number, of course, BUT again nobody bothered to contact us. Why bother to advertise. A quick reply to say, 'sorry, we are real busy right now but we haven't forgotten you. We can come next week ....how's that?" would be the proper way to carry on, but no.. So, we tried another company. Two phone cals and e-mails to their website finally got a response . Someone did come out and said he'd send us an e-mail with their quote. After over 9 days, we are still waiting. How do the guys stay in business is y question and why bother advertising? On a brighter note, we do recommend Chris Poad, Master Builder. He does turn up; he is a good workman; he is polite; and he charges a reasonable rate. SO, IF anyone knows how we can get our water tanks cleaned by a person who will answer their phone; turn up and do a good job for a reasonable price, please let us know. And if anyone knows of a skilled arborist, who also charge s reasonable rates, we would like to know. Thanks.
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
