Ellis Briggs NOT gone into liquidation
- Thread starter nonowt
- Start date
I'm genuinely perplexed at this point, so that's as good an explanation as any! Though I would say he seemed sharp as a tack whenever we got chatting therefore it would have to be a very selective pottinessThat is weird... Maybe gone a bit potty? Can't let go 'stock'. These things do happen
...Hopefully that's not me in 5 years' time!
I once had dealings with this motorbike mechanic Andy, who sold the odd vintage bike or two. He was very fond of making people wait well over the odds for repairs. He was cheap and efficient, so nobody really minded too much. Sometimes you could wait 6 months! He retired early at 50 and last we heard he was living in a cave at the end of the Isle of Arran in Scotland.
He was always a tad 'odd', I think Asperger's so maybe there's that truth in the Ellis Briggs saga. Nowt as queer as folk!

He's still not responded to me via personal comms since my last message in this thread.
I posted a public 1-star Google review and got no response. A bloke after me also posted a negative review but bizarrely not only got a response from Paul but got his frame back with works completed.
As said above, seems absolutely arbitrary who he does the work for and who he doesn't.
No worries. A common theme in the Google reviews of folk who got somewhere with him seems to be the threat of (or actual final judgment in) Small Claims Court.Thanks. Useful to know. I'll keep trying
I really didn't want it to come to that but options are running out now. If I do end up having to fork out for civil court fees then I'll also be involving Trading Standards (and bailiffs too, if others' experiences are anything to go by). Messy but necessary if this radio silence continues.
