Hi all,

 

Tonight, BBC 8pm, the 'Rogue Trader' element of the 'Watchdog' programme is apparently covering a rogue tree surgeon and (fingers crossed) the AA will get a mention.

 

Obvioulsy there's alwasy the BBCi player if you miss it.

Cheers..

Paul

 

Shouldn't they be mentioning the need to check quals and insurance, instead of plugging the AA that only represents a tiny section of the British Arb community?

 

Not being funny mate, but there is plenty of good work, carried out professionally day in day out, by contractors with no affiliation to the AA in any shape or form, if the AA had tree owners and contractors best interests at heart they would plug the work of non AA contractors too, pressing the need for tree owners to check for references, quals and insurance, rather than simply plugging the AA contractors scheme.

 

Either that or push the government to regulate the industry, just like it is for plumbers and electricians.
