    Mike (or anyone) if you're about now put C5 on, another programme that we may be able to consider.... about cowboy builders but it appears that when they've featured your horror story they fix your house!!

    Dom's presenting again, that may help you maybe as he's already been involved?

    Your support helped me keep going long enough to contact these two, and the letters to DIY SOS obviously did the job you intended. Take a bow, everyone. People power + internet might = fewer of these thieves getting away with it, and maybe one day the law will be tightened up. It's obviously a bigger problem than anyone thought.

    Mike x

    Well, I'll take a bow, but I'm not sure that it'll suit me. I'm not one for the over-accessorised look at the best of times, but I'll give it a go just for you Mike. Can mine be a purple bow though please ?

    Haven't we looked at these? Sorry Mike I'm confused again, this is the programme I thought you meant!

    Hmm...Cowboy Trap, Do they just pursue the builder or do they do the house too?

    Anyone?

    By Christ!....Whichever programme takes it on, make sure Melinda Messenger is project manager!

    I'd like to see Bridle go up against her!

    Do we need an e-mail address for this one, they're good!

    Aw Mike, that is such good news :T. Here's hoping you don't have to put up with Melinda Messenger, but you're a big, brave soul so am sure you would cope :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    No you're fine honey!

    We've had so many TV programme names bounced around! :rotfl:

    Mikes message says Cowboy Trap, I think that one sets up a house with fake repairs doesn't it??....Not sure there's so many !

    I was thinking that the second e-mail received was Cowboy Builders, the one on now. Would be most satisfying because they shame the builder as well as complete the house...2 for 1 deal! Great!!!:rotfl:

    I must stay silent because I tend to run before I should & when I get confused, it's contagious! :o


    OOOHHH!....Mike they only FURNISH IT TOO!!!!!...You'll be off the lilo before long!
