  11. i had an issue with a customer earlier this year and as a few of you know i do alot of fencing work, the spec was to reduce a hawthorn hedge and put in 500m of cleft chesnut post and rail fencing along its base. went in done the job and customer was happy, paid me promptly. 3 MONTHS later i get an 18minute long voicemail message and shortly after a letter from the owner of house saying his tennant has had all his heating oil has gone and thinks i damaged the pipe, guy was demanding for 2000 litres of heating oil to be replaced. firstly he accused me of running over heating pipe with ther mog, when i stated that there was no vehicle access, he shut up. secondly he says he saw my labourer standing on outlet pipe of tank, again thats crap as i was only one on that side of hedge as my lad was driving the loader. what really makes me laugh is that the guy who lives there is a diesel mechanic, surely he would realise if 2000 litres of heating oil had leaked out from the state of ground and the smell. and the chickens in the pen around the tank would definately not be alive. turns out that there were a speight of fuel thefts in that village and guy wanted to claim from my insurance. be careful, its amazing the lengths people go to decieve others
