Fair enough if they offered to clear it for a charge, not forcing the poor dears to pay, how can these shisters sleep at night

The mistake they made was not telling her there was a charge, you said it yourself they did a good job.

Lesson learnt, put it down to experience and think herself lucky that she wasn't robbed for lots of money like real conartists do. 2 out the front while the 3rd is in the back going through her belongings.

Least the snow got shifted, better than the "council" reading the meters and emptying her purse. Leaving her feeling violated in her own home.

It's serious sharp practice though, no doubt.

That's wrong. And expensive.
I had pikeys knock on my door and offer to clear the snow and grit my drive/dropped kerb for a fiver. Money well spent for me.

its wrong they didn't tell her at the beginning that they would charge her £20 to do it, even if they did tell her that she may have got them to do it, but to force her to pay is disgusting

hopefully now the old bill are aware they might get to catch them in the act!
