Problem with forum member Trevorm, by Deleted on Feb 24, 2017 15:02:01 GMT 1, Sorry if this is is the wrong section but I thought I'd warn others about Trevorm. I've tried pm'ing him and calling but he isn't reponding.
We agreed a deal on a piece and he kept on saying if I drop it off to him he'll provide coffee and hobnobs.
So dropped in today and all was well, completed the transaction with no issues and had a coffee.
However there were no hobnobs offered (despite me seeing them in the kitchen) I feel a little put out to be honest because I made the 20 minute journey in good faith with the promise of these hobnobs.
I've seen him mention these hobnobs before so I just wanted to know if any other members have had a similar experience with Trevorm and his hobnobs?

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by Quinnster on Feb 24, 2017 15:04:55 GMT 1, I went to his office and had a cup of tea and purchased a lovely Bast, I don't think he offerd me a hob nob either... Seems like a pattern emerging.

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by pippyt75 on Feb 24, 2017 15:05:38 GMT 1, ๐๐๐. I don't think I've ever had a hob nob of Trev either despite several promises. We should probably start some sort of support group..... #victimsoftrevor (On the other hand I can report that Trev made me a delicious meat feast once and is a total legend!)

Strangely enough he was making a lovely meat stew today, and no none was offered

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by Dibbs 45 on Feb 24, 2017 15:36:09 GMT 1, Did he state what type of hobnob. As he might mislead other forum members. Promising a chocolate one and then giving a plain one is utterly reprehensible.

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by yorkie on Feb 24, 2017 16:04:47 GMT 1, I think the fact that araplatoon noticed the hobnob pack in the kitchen shows that there was indeed intent to supply hobnobs but clearly hobnobs should only be served with tea. If you had coffee then perhaps the offering is different....
I supply 'rich tea' with tea at my place - which is funny as not a lot of american's are really adept at how long to dip and submerge the biscuit so you can still take it out and eat it rather than it become part of the beverage.
Perhaps we should indeed have a beverage and biscuit forum threat to ensure stuff like this is clearly detailed!

(Damn..... now I've waited too long and my rich tea is part of the tea drink.... now the real skill starts trying to fish the remnants out with the next rich tea!)

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by pking1601 on Feb 24, 2017 16:08:22 GMT 1, I have visited his workplace twice, each time with a promise of hob nobs. I actually saw the packet, brazingly sitting on the work surface of the kitchen but each time only fig rolls were offered. The whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth.

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by SturbanHasSaggyTits on Feb 24, 2017 16:09:55 GMT 1, Before this all gets out of hand and turns into a witch-hunt, I think Trevorm deserves a chance to defend himself. I'm sure there is a simple explanation. Maybe he was planning on giving out a hobnob, but in the moment of excitement of the art delivery he forgot. It's not good, but from past experience, these things happen.

So you're finally going to address the issue after ignoring me now?
Quick update, I've had numerous pm's all along the same lines of hobnob promises not materialising. I've been in contact with the Met's fraud department and it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident just in the buying and selling of art. Apparently Trevorm has been doing this for decades in various sectors of commerce and industry, but he's proved impossible to take down.
The net is closing in Trevorm and I hear i prison they only serve malted milk biscuits...

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by Young Squire on Feb 24, 2017 16:16:47 GMT 1, Shame on you trevorm. Chocolate hobnobs are to be shared. On a two per cup of tea ratio you would have had to have drunk buckets to get through a whole pack.
Serving suggestion: best shared straight from the fridge!

Problem with forum member Trevorm, by sl on Feb 24, 2017 16:27:56 GMT 1, For all US members. A hob nob is a delicious biscuit ( cookie ) meant to be dunked in tea for the right amount of time to not lose the biscuit in tea from being too soft. The right amount of time is key to enjoying semi soft creamy consistency. Takes time to master. if lost in tea a teaspoon may be utilized to fish out but not in company as it seems amateurish. Best to just stir it in if that occurs. The chocolate variety is best enjoyed with little sugar in tea IMO. Originally had digestive properties not sure about now. To promise them with tea and not come through is in poor taste.

For our US based pal`s, you are really missing out if you have not sampled a hobnob, you may well have all sorts of "Hershey" delights over there, but a chocolate hobnob really is another level
