If I know anything about this man he would avoid anything that stops
him getting "all the power he paid for"

And that said, he's just rung me to say he's trespassed the supplier
and "warned me what a shady character he his". I actually know the
supplier and warned him several weeks ago about doing business
with 'menace', basically telling him that if anything goes wrong, 'menace'
is the last person to shoulder any blame

The skinny is this - he bought 4 panels and a tilt mechanism, all to
be mounted on a garage roof. Now the council have told him he
can't mount them there, so he's told the supplier to take everything
except the panels back (unfit for purpose, blah blah) and he's
therefore withholding the money for the mast etc. Supplier is not
too happy about that, they had a deal and it's not his problem or
concern where council will and won't allow mounting, as he didn't
advise him about that at all

Life truly is a cabaret sometimes isn't it ? ;-))
