    Anyone heard of a Miele top dog (in the UK ) employee named Simon Jenkins? Just had a bizzare phone conversation with him regarding a post I put on another forum about Miele washer driers….started off with threats of legal action against me and ended up with him almost offering me a job and any strings he could pull for me…….
    Most odd.

    Nope, never heard of him.

    Interesting that they’re paying attention though. 😉

    Yep this was at http://www.pistonheads.co.uk in the homes, garden and diy thread.
    Not sure if you can jump in without registering but this is the thread.
    its good to see that ISE has had its name dropped in there a couple times almost taken for granted now that it exists alongside Miele as an alternative.
    The message that caused the upset was just me commenting on someone elses post about a Miele washer drier, in no way did I say Miele were bad or poor quality, infact quite the opposite. My only other post regarded the cost of the spares, again fact. Simon Jenkins uses the screen name “Mr Flathead” and I was stupid enough to repsond to his email for me to ring him, thinking he was a member of the public maybe seeking advice. Checking his previous postings elsewhere on the forum, there is nothing to suggest he is in our industry at all and the previous post he has made about the Miele drum is a blatent advert given that he has not declared himslef as a Miele employee. And as for his claim that the Miele honeycombe drum contributes a lot to the overall weight of the machine would suggest he knows little technicaly.
    He also could not answer my question (posed to check his authenticity) about Miele model numbers and the letter they start with.
    I just dont know if he was genuine or not.
    As I said, the call started with threats of legal action and ended with almost bribary!

    Pistonheads is a well used site by someone I know so, I’ve seen a few of the posts on there. 😉

    It is somewhat intriguing I have to say and very interesting.

    Miele clearly see ISE as some sort of threat and that has been made clear on a number of occasions but, never as blatantly as this.

    In the end though, if you don’t say anything that is untrue then you’ve nothing to worry about.
