To my late uncles (dad's brothers) who got me jobs at weekends and in school/uni holidays between the ages of 15 and 21, working on Wimpey building sites and as a jobbing builder. As well as teaching me that money doesn't grow on trees, over the years the skills gained have saved me a fortune doing up my houses and knowing when builders were trying to con me.

They both died in the past few years and I regret never actually telling them how much they helped me when I was growing up.

Thanks to Dan, the site manager here (my new house is on a development still under construction.) He's going to send a lad round to touch up the paintwork that got damaged when we moved in and he'll leave us with a pot of paint in case we need it further on down the line. What a nice guy.

When we arrived in Tobermory with large furniture van the contractor who had been told to repaint various bits of the house decided the day we were due to arrive was a good day get painters started on painting the stairs. We were not impressed.

Bit of a long story but needed for context: I took out a contract with Virgin for internet only; they sent me an O2 SIM card which I said I didn't want, they said no worries it comes with the deal so just don't use it and it'll be fine. A year later my contract renewed with Virgin and they have sent me another SIM card. I then got a letter through saying I owe O2 £24. I phoned up, spoke to a very nice chap who understood mt predicament and agreed it was unfair for me to pay the £24 when I hadn't even taken the SIM card out of the packet. He put me on hold a number of times whilst he checked with other staff, and then eventually said they could cancel the card and I wouldn't have to pay anything.

It is a gripe towards the companies involved but also a thanks for the chap to look into it and actually exercise some humility and decency, which you rarely get on the phone any more!
