Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate the feedback and especially the positive comments that commend the butcher and his shop. I also liked him enormously, had great fun and was more than happy spending money there and enjoying his company whilst doing so. It's this that makes it all the worse and regretable. I feel betrayed frankly, and I had warned I would go public if nothing was done to address the problem.
The situation to resolve this really is quite simple and does not require me to go to the butchers bank. His bank is his business. He has a list of transactions from my statement and the dates showing payments made to his account. Either that money went into his account or it did not ? The butcher just like you and me will have his statements. If by some remote chance the monies showing as paid from my account have not been credited to his account then I need some help from the butcher - his bank and my bank to see where those payments did go. I have been repeatedly promised these matters would be looked into and addressed.. They have not, and until posting this yesterday I seriously doubted they would have. I am grateful for the forum and its members for being a vehicle to at least get a reaction and perhaps a little urgency now in resolving these matters. I am very freindly, easy going and what is more forgiving, but I will not be messed around, fobbed off, and taken for a ride by anyone. I will do whatever is required to have this resolved as quickly as possible so a line can be drawn. However... Eddie the enraged Son has done little to facilitate matters given his deplorable actions last evening. On my leaving to Dalaman last evening I briefly encountered Eddie as I passed the butchers shop. He was aggressive, mean, verbally abusive and verbally threatening. I simply insisted that this should be resolved and it should not have come to this. I suggested a repayment ASAP would be helpful. Eddie refused to listen but wanted to shout. I then departed as I am not interested in having such a yelling match in the street. Eddie then followed me in hot persuit in his car chasing mine as I went on my way to Dalaman. He repeatedly overtook, cut in, cut me up. He yelled and screamend uncontralabley with rage like a mad dog. He shouted racial abuse slagging the English. This continued all the way down the hillside road where on occasions in his attempts to stop me, he tried to run me off the road ! His diving was wreckless and dangerous. His manner and behaviour totally illegal and unacceptable. To cap it off whilst swerving violently from side to side Eddie managed to produce a large long stick with which he then aggressively made very threatening and violent gestures.. All whilst driving at speed!
I beg to ask the question why does Eddie have such a threatening weapon at the ready being carried in his car? All of last nights events were whitnessed. Eddie was even foolish enough to carry out all of this whilst we were being followed by another car !
Yes, yes... I would like an end to this, and to call it a day, and in an amicable manner. What message can Eddies uncontrollable and indefensable actions of last night do to help? I suspect we have regretably not heard the last of this until I recieve an unreserved apology and payment due in full without any further delay.
Eddie now unfortunatly would seem to be in risk of very serious trouble with the authorities unless he takes urgent corrective action. I am sure his very many friends will advise him soon enough what he should do.
I shall continue to post factual accounts of these matters until resolved.
Stephen Chidgey.

Before I start I will say that I am a good friend of Eddie and his dad, in the three years that I have lived here I have found them to be both generous in friendship and in material ways. I am suprised that it has come to the situation where someone is being called disreputable and dishonest. In the four months this has been going on how long have you been here Stephen and during that time have they offered to go to the bank with you to sort this matter out? I am free on Monday and if you wish I will accompany you to the bank with Eddie and Seyfun and act as an independent person to get this matter resolved,I am sure they will be available and agreeable.
