Thank You Gentlemen.

IT'S OVER.

Those nice gentlemen from Drains Aid, they contract for Yorkshire Water, were here before we were even out of bed this morning, and bless them they were trying to tip toe around so that they wouldn't wake us. They were brilliant and everything was sorted by early afternoon. Smelling all wonderful and Pine fresh and they didn't just put the garden back as it was, it's even better.

So my heartfelt thanks to you gentlemen, you really have done a great job, not just in restoring my drains to working order, or my garden back to a beautiful oasis, but much more than that you carried out your work with a great deal of empathy, curtesy and above all determined efficiency. Not something you get very often these days. No tea breaks, although the large glasses of juice were gratefully accepted and drunk whilst working. So you have also restored my faith in British workman.

I'm sorry gang for harping on, but all too often we tend to give 'feedback' on the negatives and have a rant about things that don't work, or people who have given us bad service. But how often do we applaud a job well done or even worse forget to say thank you?

It is nice to know that there are still some workmen who take pride in the work they do. So being as we have seen the mess can we now see the after clean up pics please?

Yayyyy!!

Hoorah!

...and it is great that you have taken the time to say job well done.

I don't think enough of us do that sometimes.

I guess that's why you're a St.

That's great news! And a pat on the back for the workmen too.
