    Or some other Berkshire based purveyors of Carpets and/or Blinds?

    I know who this happened to and he is one of the most calm, placcid people you could meet. Would take a lot to get him to react. Well done scu98rkr for posting.

    Do these attempts to influence Google rankings not just play right into the hands of the people you are trying to annoy? I bet the majority of the potential customers for this guy couldn’t care less about the incident described, and would probably just assume, like him, that cyclists shouldn’t be there in the first place. So pushing him up the Google rankings this way is probably just raising his public profile and getting him more business?

    In my experience, he’s not the only employer who doesn’t care about his employee’s driving behaviour, although I’ve found that the larger bus companies take this sort of thing much more seriously.

    ahahaaa glad i clicked on this link, the company i work for is in the process of replacing both carpets and blinds over 3 large properties (about 18 bedrooms plus lounges, kitchens etc in total) in the reading area. i’ve got a little spreadsheet in front of me from the MD with contacts of who to get quotes from.

    i’ve just deleted them off the spreadsheet.

    I’m not in Reading, or indeed in Berkshire, nor do I need carpets or blinds fitting, but if I did need carpets or blinds fitting and I were in Reading or in Berkshire generally I no know that I would avoid using Berkshire Carpets and Blinds to provide the fitting service required to fit my carpets or blinds.

    He’s probably a one man band. Definitely an arse.

    His inconsiderate/bullying behaviour is clearly the norm. Complete tool.

    If he was to read Philconsequences post he might consider his actions a little more in future.
    He’s also from Whitley, the area that Ricky Gervais is from, that he used to rip into on account of it being a bit of A-hole. How apt.

    Used to puzzle me when I lived in Reading, why do the locals write the number oddly? I notice Brummies do it too, 0121-4xx xxxx rather than 01214 xxxxxx.
    Anyway, when I was living in Reading I never needed any carpets or blinds so never called or emailed

    andrewh – It’s because, in the olden days, phone numbers were either

    4 digit area code + 6 digit number

    or

    3 digit city code + 3 digit local area code + 4 digit number. However, you had to dial the 7 digit “local area + number” number from anywhere within the city.

    So even now, in Brum for example, if the number is 01212345678, you have to dial 2345678 from within Brum, so it makes more sense to write it as 0121 234 5678 so it’s easier to see the ‘local’ section of the number.

    So, in the case of Berkshire Carpets and Blinds:

    Web: http://www.berkshirecarpetsandblinds.co.uk
    Tel: 0118 907 8799
    email: enquiries@berkshirecarpetsandblinds.co.uk

    If you were in wider Berkshire and required carpets and blinds and your local area code was not 0118, you would dial 0118 907 8799 to get Berkshire Carpets and Blinds.

    If you were in Reading itself and required carpets and blinds and your local area code was indeed 0118, you would dial 907 8799 to get Berkshire Carpets and Blinds.

    However, in these days of the internet there are many other ways of contacting Berkshire Carpets and Blinds shold you require carpets or blinds in Berkshire such as their website

    Am I the only person who doesn’t really see the issue with the response?

    (1) He’s acknowledged it quickly.
    (2) He’s going to get the otherside’s view.
    (3) He’s right – if everyone reported every idiot on the road we would never do any work.
    (4) He’s right – there are some stupid cyclists on the road too.
    (5) He’s probably right – most people are interested in how quick and how cheap he can fit a carpet not whether someone in lycra got a fright on his way there.

    All the people linking to him are doing is increasing the ranking of HIS site, so driving business to HIM.

    So, if it was really dangerous driving, the OP would have been straight into a Police station rather than e-mailing the company. I know I would.

    As the reply states, its his word against yours, and unless you have witnesses or video of it, then the Manager guy would find it hard to take action based on what has been said. Most he could do is have a quiet word with the driver.

    Having said that, his reply is extremely poor and has the effect of alienating cyclists and people in general, not at all the best result that could be achieved.

    Did you consider reporting to Police? If they get several reports of bad driving for a certain vehicle/company, I am sure they would have a word.

    All the people linking to him are doing is increasing the ranking of HIS site, so driving business to HIM.

    Actaully it’s to rank this page over other pages given the same search criteria.

    So for instance if you typed “Berkshire Carpets and Blinds”

    you would get results for Blinds and Carpet people in Berkshire.

    You wouldn’t get anything about dangerous driving and quite clearly multiple instances of dangerous driving and a disgusting attitude towards other road users.

    So if you searched for a Blinds and Carpet people in Berkshire.

    You may at least now have an informed opinion about the sort of person you are employing

    problem is that if the url for his site gets repeated too many times on a page google will disregard it.

    better off puttign some other carpet and blind related content on this thread so that the rankings for those products are also affected.

    so wool carpets in reading

    or

    where do I get blinds fitted in berkshire

    would be good terms to get on here as google will see the content as more relevant.
