I begin with a tale about a couple that was just about to get hitched who woke up one morning to find eight tonnes of rubble in their driveway. The couple had recently spent £20,000 renovating their home and garden in the month leading up to their wedding in order to get the home of their dreams, but trouble struck when they ended up in a dispute with a skip hire company because the firm said that the couple had overloaded the skip and refused to take it away.
For over two and a half months the dispute raged, with the couple saying that they would not pay the extra for another skip as they were adamant they had not been told that there was a weight limit for the container. One morning, the couple awoke to be greeted by a pile of rubble in their driveway, and a damaged fence. The problem arose when the skip hire company arrived to collect the full skip containing bricks, turf, rubble and other garden waste which was too heavy for them to lift, so they had tipped half of it out onto the customers’ driveway.
Now all this really boiled down to was a breakdown of communication, but you’ll be happy to hear there was a happy ending to this story; the wedding still went ahead and the garden waste was cleared away, but there is a moral to the story.
