Well, took out the lawnmower, pretended to be cutting the grass.

And next of all, this fellow rocks up in all of the best gear.

And I'm talking, you know, branded, really good quality gardening gear to say that he was.

And he came into the drive and he said, I'm just going to go into the boss lady to make sure that I can get him.

The van is on its way and I just want to get the rest of the money.

And I said, but you did nothing yesterday.

Not a thing.

And you'd had a look, obviously, at the work that they had done.

Nothing.

OK.

And he he kind of got a bit agitated.

He didn't get aggressive or anything.

So he started to walk away from me.

So I started videoing and I got him on video, the reg of the truck from the day before and the car that he was going to get away in with the rest of the money.

So my warning is that if it's...

arborists, tree surgeons, gardeners, they're so busy, they're not going around cold calling people.

They don't have time to do that.

They're out actually doing legitimate work, paying their tax, doing really good work for people.

And the insurance for tree surgeons and arborists is huge.

So they're doing really good work with the best of gear, with the insurance and all that sort of thing.
