If you want to drive to Redditch to service my boiler then bacons under the grill & kettle is on. Will even fry an egg for you

I think the problem was he is alleged to have repeated what 'tother chap thought he heard Terry say.

I hate racism & im not sure who is telling the truth but a Court has found Terry not Guilty & that should have been the end of the matter.

On reflection the fine is around 2 weeks wages & a 4 match ban isnt too bad, this should be the end of it but somehow this is going to drag on .....

Ok as per Barneys request in another post about expectations of customers, i had to share with you an email i had yesterday.

Quick scene set - we did a newsletter run on MLS to our customers on behalf of one of our clients, unfortunately due to a technical blip the links didnt work

Doh ! - once we realised we contacted the client and appraised him of the situation, apologised and said we would send a second email run to our customers apologising for the error & of course letting them click through the links. Our email was titled - We owe you an apology

What i didnt expect was this reply from one of our customers

you do **** u call me 0121do1

Oh dear - having looked at his FREE listing with us and the 227 page views he has had recently, i guess he doesnt know that i get the last laugh & have deleted his details and blocked him from re-listing in the future

To counter this i did get several replies from people saying - No prob, or no worries & even a thank you.

I also get people who take our FREE listing and expect the earth - this is a basic free (get the word there, free) listing and complain the next day 'coz they arent top of Google, even those that put themselves in the wrong category shout at us 'coz of course its our fault they cant type or dont check their details of the FREE listing - i dont mind helping anyone with anything,(and i do take dozens of calls) thats why im here but i do expect courtesy and a small thanks Clive does go a long way!

Anyone have any similar stories?

Now ive stopped crying from laughing so hard -i can type again - thats absolutely brilliant

Cant wait for next weeks instalment

So to update this - GUILTY of misconduct -

As a contentious customer of any tradesmen i would normally move anything that would restrict the tradesmans access to carry out the job required.

Of course there are times when i need help from that tradesman to move certain items and normally they are only too happy to help, but id never expect them to do it on their own.

Never asked anyone to tidy up mess as 99% of the time i normally leave them to do the job, last time i had some work done was a new aerial for my house, they drilled the wall & vac'd before i realised they had done it. Although if i'd had a written quote usually it states "site to be left clean & tidy" so in respect of the garage door i would have expected that to have been tidied up.

So the verdict is due later on the FA hearing in to John Terrys alleged racist rant.

Forgive me if im wrong, wasnt he found not guilty in a Court of Law for the same thing?

How can the FA charge him if Legally he is not guilty?

What ramifications does this have if a sports body thinks its above the Law?

Awaiting the verdict with interest ....

Thats brilliant - love it


S'pose the Aston is more affordable to more people, the veyron is only available to the super rich - such a cool car though

Yet another High Street store looks set to vanish - putting aside the poor soles about to lose their jobs & my sympathies with them but ...

... this has to be bad for competition & prices of sports clothes and goods are sure to go up.

Can anyone else see a future where there will just be one store where you get everything from? S'pose we arent far away now with the Sainsburys & Tescos giant stores this isnt good !

Hi & welcome Kevin

That is a very interesting question! I would have thought you could reject the new Ts & Cs and under that force cancellation as they are changing the terms of which you originally signed.

I had a similar experience with my Bank last year - they changed the Ts & Cs of several accounts i held - being the cantankerous type and dug my heels in saying i wasnt happy with the changes. As i had locked some money away on a long term deal they said i could withdraw that money without loss of interest as they had changed the Ts & Cs.

Hope this helps - dig your heels in though & make a fuss - after all they changed the terms not you

Let us all know how you get on
