• Handyman needed

Posted: **Tue Sep 29, 2020 5:16 pm**

I’m looking for a handyman, Burnley/Rossendale area. Probably 1 or 2 days work, just odd jobs around the house.

Can anybody recommend anybody?

I think you mean a handyperson.

Posted: **Tue Sep 29, 2020 6:38 pm**

I think the OP is after a non-binary person who is good with tools or at least used to be, depending on their mood.

This...

OP your post is very problematic and reinforces gender stereotypes. This type of thing does incredible damage to women and girls.

Please delete this

Much better to refer to everybody as ‘them’ from now on.

A handythem.

What if the person doesn't have hands? Would that make you hand-ist?

I'm not sure I'm too happy with person, why should the word son be used over daughter, it's as though girls are inferior to their male counterparts.

It has to be Isle of People.

To avoid any confusion just rename it Isle of Tax Dodgers.

Try One Stop services in burnley - Gannow lane I think.
Always found them pretty quick and reasonable in price.

There was a time when people asked for advice and help on this board they would get just that. Some totally unnecessary posts on this thread and I think some of you need to take a long look at yourselves because you are simply ruining this message board.

It might be to some but to the people looking for advice it might well not be. I asked for some advice recently for something and the nonsense on the thread made it impossible. There was a time when I'd have got the advice without having to trawl through nonsense.

Ok, serious attempt at a reply.
Lancashire County Council runs a database of work people of many descriptions...roofers, glaziers, appliance repairers etc etc...it's called Safe Traders....that said when I was looking on there recently for someone to do a bathroom spruce up....I did struggle!

2 posts deleted now by he who must be obeyed at a guess. Both totally harmless.
It is truly pathetic that a bit of ribbing gets this sort of response.
It’ll be a ban after this I’m sure of that

Posted: **Sat Oct 10, 2020 7:43 pm**

Too be fair, the op is only trying to get advice on a problem. He got 90% unhelpful bellendery ! (Sorry I mean ribbing )

Because when you want advice and see that your thread has answers you go in to expect advice and possible builders/tradespeople but instead you find the usual people talking crap. Try the Lancashire County Council safe traders website.

I've used mybuilder a number of times in the past with good success.
