As if having the word 'artisan' isn't poncy enough, he's gone one step further and Frenchified it. Sacre blue!

Pretentious on two levels.

You have to admire their spirit though, don't you? Adopting such a pretentious name in a place like Lewes, where piss-taking is one of the things that makes us what we are.

The French name comes because I think he lived in France a long time. He did some really excellent work for us and is a nice bloke. I am beginning to feel a bit grubby reading this forum.

He may be good at what he does but thoroughly deserves a good p1ss taking for that name

I wonder if there's a French carpenter who lived in England, now working in France, who calls himself 'Cockney Geezer'? I somehow doubt it. That's what we mean by pretentious.

Please book me for all your carpentry work. Myself and my brother Richard have set up a very new business just behind Homebase. In fact it's so new we've decided to name it "We've only just begun". Rather apt and not even a smidgen pretentious. I'm really excited about our new venture, you could say I'm on top of the world.

I'd rather have a grumpy bloke that does a good job. He was engaged to do a major piece of work for me, farmed most of it out unsupervised and I have had to have other people in since to sort out problems including water leaking behind the tiles where they had 'forgotten' to use silicone. I could give you a phone number but it was hard work getting a response.
