I am amazed that in these days of so-called financial downturn, less building starts, less business ahead for the building trades etc etc, that building companies should be so lacklustre about whether they sell product or not.
This week I have been talking to many suppliers, getting prices for components of our build. Some of them have been very helpful, chatty and have encouraged me.
But a greater proportion seem to have no interest in me as a customer. They answer the phone with a grunt, and their entire attitude seems to be "would you just f-off and stop bothering me". So I have. Clearly they are not suffering from any downturn in orders and are obviously so busy they should have their phone numbers delisted to prevent people who actually want to give them business from contacting them.
