Are you diagnosed with Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis? And are you struggling with pain and discomfort as a result of the arthritis?

I google plumber + new Plymouth - found a link to this site, chose a tradie, great job, hence promised to give feedback but Neighbourly asks me to sign in, then "disappears" the guy after I'm logged in.. what the actual???
* strike 1
then try to create feedback as a recommendation for a "new tradie" but the site gives me the serious runaround
* strike 2
then have to spend another 10 minutes finding how to post due to the less than sub par lackluster site layout.
* strike 3 - If Neighbourly doesn't improve it's site, it's not going to be about much longer. It's making itself redundant & I take no joy in saying that. :(
