A hard life for some

Removals in Edinburgh
We live and work In Edinburgh (Unlike some)

Morning again - nebby !

Being an Edinburgh removals man in a van travelling all over Scotland and the uk I go to and pass thought some strange little places. I like the Scottish countryside and there are some beautiful little former fishing villages and small towns around Scotland but there are some real desperate little depressing places. Some used to have mining or some other little industry like Kirkcaldy, lino... or marmoleum as its now called, popular in hospitals due to its disinfectant properties, lino in homes is not as popular as it was but still they have a factory in the town - it was a booming trade well over 30 years ago not it’s more or less gone. Some other little places dotted over Scotland have been geared to coal mining/fishing and some locations I move people to look like they have just been build to accommodate a growing overflowing population, or accommodated a lost working generation skilled or unskilled.

Some of the housing planners must have been mad planned those concrete small towns, indistinctive tiny brown boxes in a line with grubby exteriors with no character with the compulsory depressing point of interest co-op they all congregate for fags and booze, depressing little schemes. People living there must feel quite desperate at times it’s no wonder they have chemical abuse and alcohol problems plus the usual benefits claimants, how can you find a decent paying job when nothing is available? It must cost a fortune to keep the population expanding. I’m not sure what the future for those types of towns if there is a future, do small towns/schemes really need a future? Nothing will ever happen without billions of investments but then its back to the solution to the problem.. governments throwing money at it and for what reason? Time must just drag on for someone living in a place like that with no hope for most.



I’m not a great believer in economical/population growth, not everyone has to run the family formula brought on by peer pressures or maybe its just a basic human instinct (boredum) look where it gets the population, unwanted feral kids, greed, crime, housing shortages and the biggest offender of all the social costs paid for by the workers/taxpayers. It can only go so far till something happens good or bad. Maybe one day the government (in 20 years or so) will be a bit more pro-active with the lost and growing population issue no one likes to talk about - not everyone has a purpose/future/relevance and we don’t need to expand towns and population for no reason - where will it all end??

removals in edinburgh

Did a two bedroomed flat Removal in Edinburgh from bruntsfiled to the grange this morning, 2 hours job done 2nd to 1st. Needed to be back for Eletric man coming to sort an issue out. Luckily the customer got his inventory right not many do it never less good to move its always more for the removal.

I always find this when you read things its not always as it seems strangly the internet is full of spammers and people telling lies Ive come across a few in the past few months , it embarrasing really telling lies.

Anyway some of us are starting a wee group mainly of Local small removals firms fed up with all these typical spam man with van and anyone can with false details and really not who they say they are and wasting customers time with quote requests for none jobs to see how much people charge, again its embarrasing.

Chosing the right Removals company

Removals in Edinburgh

Choosing the right removals company in Edinburgh cant be a right old chore as its your personal possessions, really youre inviting strangers into your home and you have no idea who they are or even if they say there are who they say they are ( if that makes sense) might do if something’s damaged or goes missing .

Recently I’ve experienced address spamming by someone who doesn’t live in Edinburgh city but suggests he does and I ll tell you a load are at it just going by reading others comments , people will try almost anything to get a job nowadays, mostly due to the recession and an apparent recent explosion of Edinburgh based removals companies man with a van style has proved this (jack the lad master of none) the sort of guys you call up and you hear hammering or power tools in the background , guys who don’t do removals full time for a living but fancy trying there (ahhemm) skilled hand at it in-between working on sites or digging holes in the gardens.

Heres some tips to weed out those removals rouges –
Ask for the trading address – any hesitation, ifs… buts… maybe…its ex`s house… don’t use them
Get persons name you are speaking - if it’s a nick name like gogs tam etc forget it
If they answer the phone and don’t say company name on answering – it because they are getting handyman/ you name it jobs
Got a web address looks legit doesn’t it , well erm no…. – look for there address/landline number on it no sign forget it –
Mobile number with no name you’ll get what you pay for, a right old shock. Most likely

If you get a quote and they call you back pressuring to use them it because they are desperate for the job , you would be advised to stay well clear of anyone like that.
False reviews on sites another classic – just read them and see how the writing style looks the same – people writing ‘’warmest regards’’ or going over the top like ‘’my neighbour asked about you and is moving out soon’’ , utter rubbish and really easy to spot to be honest.

Customers do reviews its because they want to and its in there own words if they look the same don’t waste you time by using these companies.

Picking the right man with a van
Get suggestions from friends see if they have used someone
Look in yellow pages /phone book/internet do a cross reference check if hes real you will find him easily and if you can check website address or some form of document on a site like this hes for real !!
