So you cannot just leave a bad review and most people aren't going to contact the trader to say they are not happy. All these site are the same. I go through yellow pages now as I've had the most reliable workmen from there. It's very difficult to find trustworthy reviews online.
Thank you for that, Annie. That's worth knowing.
Crafty buggers aren't they.

Glad you are ok!

Re: I'd like your thoughts please.
Thanks once again for your thoughts and contributions, ladies.I have not discarded the idea of taking it further, but it is not at the front of my mind either.
In a way I can see what the pharmacist said, and that is my allegy to that particular medication is not a serious or life threatening one, one that would have put my life in danger. If that had been the case I would have most certainly have kicked up a dust straight away and reported him.
It even crossed my mind whether he had done it deliberately because he knew I had written a formal complaint about him back at the beginning of the year!
I don't want it to look like I have a personal grudge if I complain about the same man again, but I can bide my time.Yes, I know he should have looked at my records before prescribing but I have that to use any time should he ever drop any more clangers.
I have made notes of the time, date, meds and who it was, plus the surgery's reaction to my returning it. It will not be forgotten, and I will not see that doctor again, and will have no hesitation to say why.
I will see what their attitude is when I return next Monday.

Re: I'd like your thoughts please.
No 1 Take the matter up with the practice senior partner.No 2 Change to a roofer that takes enough pride in his/her/their work to follow through with a confirmed start date. I use Checkatrade for house maintenance and found a very good all round general builder. One of his skills is resin reinforced glass fibre roofing and he provided a new extension with the GF roof and also rebuilt my workshop giving it a GF roof. The resin bonding of the glass fibre sheeting makes the whole roof covering seamless and completely water proof for at least 20yrs and according to the manufacturers up to 50, which for a flat roof is a very good life :thumbup:

Thank you for your thoughts too, LD.
I had a look at Checkatrade website this afternoon and found it interesting. It seems there are loads of roofers around, I am just worried as to how I know I would pick someone genuine.
Sadly, I have found many times over the years, that there are some traders who will take advantage of us women.
If this chap doesn't give me satisfactory answers on Tuesday, that'll definitely be it. He won't be getting a third chance.
I'll let you know what happens.
