hi mike

just move on mate...if you hit him and theres witnesses, then your gonna get done. you'll spend ages chasing him for your money and it will eat you up so put it down experience and as your wife says, maybe you have unearthed a new career without you realising it mate??? good sales people are rare and if your good and get in with some decent companies, you can make really really top money!!!

keep your options open mate, maybe do some sales work and keep practising the tiling because then you could be winning the tiling work with your sales ability and subbing it out to top tradesman who in turn you can learn from .... i always say that to everybody now...you get the work in, let the tilers work for you and then you are in the driving seat....theres lots of really great tradesman out there to learn from but they are not always the best people infront of customers, so keep open minded and flexable!!

all the best mate, and keep going!!! never ever give in!!!!

Mike, beat this jerk-off at this own game. What ever it was that you were selling for him---go to work for his competitor and work to ensure that his business comes with you and the new firm where you are working.

If you don't like sales but can do it...that's fine, it's a foot in the door and some income for now. It's not your career that you are deciding right here and now.

Tempting to give him a smack, but likely you'll end up with problems that last longer than the satisfaction you'll get.

thses guy are scum IMO mike ,move on and learn without the punch up, it would be you that would lose in the longrun there ,and you are much better than that!! so good luck with your new sale work mate

see what Monday brings Mike, he may well give you your pay. If not, I'd be tempted to bandy it about that he's a rogue trader. Don't physically confront him, he's not worth losing your dignity over, (plus he may know some unsavoury characters that may pay you a visit)

Sorry to hear about this Mike. I agree it's not worth giving him a slap, but by not paying you he is breaking the law as there is a national minimum wage in this country.
I would be tempted to give the National Minimum Wage Helpline a call on Monday and report him and see what they can do to help you. See link below..

Hope it works out for you mate

Id report hi to everyone i could. Did the other people ring for the 'cleaners job' too? If so and he's using that to recruit then contact wherever it was that you saw the ad and let them know. Go to citizens advise to and see what they say.

If you have done the work you have earned the money so make sure you get it. If you have the time on your hands amkie it work for you and harrass him until he pays you to go away.

Personally id be there like a shot and demand my cash, you got kids to feed and i see it as taking the food out of my little ones mouths. He's making me really cross! If you werent so far away id go and lump him for you :mad2::mad2: Twice!

Off to calm down now....
