Have you ever got a traveller to do work around your house for you?

Would you trust them? I would not.

If they want to do power washing or clean my gutters or gardening around my house then should go and get their company registered first and pay taxes like every other company. Otherwise I do not trust them and have no interest in them doing anything for me because if they broke a window or a gutter or destroyed my patio I would have no comeback against them.

I am not racist or anything like that just think they should set their company up right first before trying to get work off people.

The very facts that you don't trust an entire sector of society and put this thread up in a trivia forum tells us differently.

Once for the patio/driveway, they did a good job and I paid them in cash and a goldfish.

Never have, never will.

No chance. Called a phone number once for a gardening service notice that was put through my letterbox. Arranged for the guy to call down and price the job. The guy who arrived had a very different accent to whoever took my call, was more interested in looking around my garden and into my garage to see what the contents were, than looking at the job that needed doing. He told me he'd bring a few lads down the following day (Saturday) and do the job, but they couldn't work the Sabbath. Told him I'd be in touch. Never heard from him again thankfully.

Neighbour gets them clipping hedge, chainsaw, power washing etc. I asked him about what happens if accident n compo. He said they're on the dole/ disability so can't sue! Not for me, but he has them coming this year's.

Loads of times.

A lad fell off a ladder and tried to sue for compensation. I had to have a straightener with him.

They are not all that bad.
