    Not if what you tell them is true - that you did the repair as he requested, two years later you have started receiving abusive emails.

    **Good, that's me subscribed and hopefully adding usefully to the discussion**

    BTW - if the dog attacked it last time, is it made from an animal product??
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    Thx, Ill try & do that ASAP, as they've said they'll have to pay out more to "take it to a professional."

    It was made of natural materials, but not animal-based.
    This is getting like 'What's My Line' if anyone is ancient enough to remember that radio show :eek:

    Alas, this is a rite of passage for small businesses. Now you too can tell horror stories of that one client who turned out to be a lunatic. :D

    Yeah, it did seem to be too good to be true, getting away with it for 20 years!
    With the notable example, of course, of afore-mentioned non-payer who pretended to be dead....

    BTW, it gets even better, as I'd totally forgotten to mention this at the beginning - it is apparently poised to form a crucial part of Whacko's 'case' against me - he is claiming that I have made the item resemble his neighbour :T

    Aren't you at all tempted to e-mail him back and ask if it resembles his neighbour now, or how his neighbour looked two years ago.
