Years ago goalkeepers used to hang a towel in the corner of the goal...
Update
I had set the deadline for my refund at midnight tonight. It had been all quiet for 4 days till 6 o'clock this evening when I sent a final reminder, together with their first sighting of my 8 point plan to recover the money. (see above)

What a wonderful gesture!
I will bare this in mind, but I've had my fair share of financial tussles over the years and have assembled a pretty strong armoury of 'weapons'. In a distorted way I quite enjoy the battle.

3. Got called back to a previous customer
4. Mobile phone went flat
5. Have to service my Council contracts first - they are my bread and butter
6. Wife will send over the refund...
A builder insists on a deposit before starting any building work and then fails to even start that work
Is it theft by deception, fraud, or is there another legal term to sum up the situation.
Thanks
