RS Harper And Son Gas Appliance Installer Nearly Killed Me Today In Bath
I am writing with shaking hands. Today, I came out of my warehouse door and was nearly run over by a white van which came screeching into the car park.
I was walking in clear view in front of our building and it came rushing past me within about 6 inches of me to the left - this despite the fact that there was a gaping car park further to the left of him.
Clearly the driver was in an incredible hurry to get to the Howden’s Joinery next to our warehouse. As you can see, he pulled up within about 12 inches of Howden’s steps.
I saw the driver go into Howden’s so thought I’d go and point out that he nearly killed me, and ask whether he could be more than helpful in future.
In return, I got a volley of expletives and abuse, and was told it was my fault for “Walking in the middle of the road.”
Er, it’s a car park not a road.
And, er, as you can see from the picture there’s no room for pedestrians between your van and the steps.
But the crazy thing is that despite driving dangerously and nearly killing me, and then giving me a tirae of abuse, he’s got his employer’s name and phone numbers plastered all over the side of his van.
Imagine inviting someone like that into your home to do some work!
So if you are looking to hire a plumber, building contractor or gas appliance installer in Bath, I’d suggest you look for someone who has a much friendlier demeanour than this bloke who works for RS Harper and Son.
Who knows, maybe it’s RS Harper himself, or maybe the son? Perhaps they’d like to comment.
A lot of pedestrians and schoolchildren walk through the car park in front of our warehouse and Howden’s.
If people drive as dangerously as this RS Harper and Son driver, then someone is going to get seriously hurt or even killed.
So RS Harper and Son might be the best gas appliance installation outfit in Bath, but when it comes to safe driving and treating people with respect and decency, at least one of their employees has got a lot to learn.
I’ve reported the driver to the police. It will be interesting to see what they do about it.
