The legending on this van is very interesting. They make great play of being 'Not a rip off call centre' and I imagine that a local company will always give a better and faster response than national corporations who don't actually have people on the ground but will sub the work out to any tom, dick or harry. I had not come across the expression 'Trading Standards Approved' and thought it a dubious claim, but a little research shows that there are indeed a series of schemes of this nature run by some local authorities. Bedfordshire is one, and they own the phrase. The Dorset scheme is not called 'Trading Standars Approved' but is run on similar lines, and is called 'Buy With Confidence' and this company is not on their list. Caveat emptor.
