Ah, time to decide between sending a letter before action, or just buying the cheapest shitbox MOT failure car I can find and dump it on their drive.
I have to admit, the second option would be waaaaaay more satisfying…
Or not, apparently the nuclear option of “leave a bad google review" has actually worked this time, and my refund from the local tradesman was back in my account this morning, almost a year after I paid the deposit.
Disappointed, but not surprised, that it took that to get him to actually refund me, unlike all the times I've been told “end of the week" or “I'll transfer it this evening”
