Re: A sign of the times?
kwatt wrote:It also strikes me as somewhat odd that I recieve reports from the DASA AGM that a certain person (not DASA and not a repairer) made reference to UKW in a less than flattering light. I may not be there and I may not hear it first hand, but rest assured we hear and we take note. We also remember.
We also take note of other events when we get wind of them and I’m perfectly capable of joining the dots and seeing that some would like a fractured trade. It suits their purposes and if I can put an end to it, I shall, as I think we’ve all had enough of playing little political games to the benefit of others.
K.Yes this comment has found itself moving around various circles.
The reference was pointing towards UKW as “That Lot”
Fine by me, I’m happy to be part of That Lot. After all DASA is the Other Lot, and the person in particular represents Another Lot. A lot incidentally who like DASA never post in this medium. So what qualifications he holds to make such a flippant statement is beyond me.
So who are we? That Lot.
A lot that had twice the number of attendees at a 6 month meeting held at Sibson, compared to the amount DASA (the Other Lot) could muster. In fact even if the whole of the DASA membership showed up for their AGM, they would have still been hard pushed to have reached the numbers that attend the meeting of That Lot.
That Lot were the ones who generously covered the cost of the excellent food at the lunch time, not at the cost of £30 odd per delegate, as levied by the Other Lot. This was available to all Lots.
That Lot are the ones that have no problem in extending the hand of friendship to any Lot, including the Other Lot and Another Lot.
That Lot are the ones that keep the lines of communication open, and are not afraid to hold dialogue with no matter who or What Lot.
That Lot are the ones who in conjunction with a leading detergent manufacturer, are carrying out training and product research. Unlike Another Lot who feel it appropriate to try and stem the results. We know it is going on and letters are flying around like confetti.
That Lot happen to be the repair side of the industry, the bottom end of the trade and the ones who take all rubbish and excuses given by the customers and work providers alike, then expect to take the hit when the revenue stream has a hiccup.
That Lot happen to roll their bloody sleeves up, get on with it, keeping the customer paramount and taking ownership of the work.
The Other Lot only seem able to talk a little among their own little enclave, get nothing done, fail to communicate with others and think they are in ivory towers.
The body referred to as Another Lot are the ones that shafted a Lot of the repairers of That Lot, before That Lot got together and started talking. This was when this person represented a Different Lot.
The moral of this story is, someone felt fit to belittle us, and before doing so should have done a head count. We may appear to be That Lot, but there are an awful Lot of us.
As a postscript, the Other Lot still hasn’t felt it appropriate to divulge their cunning plan to boost their membership. It makes sense what they have proposed, then what do they do, keep it to themselves and not advertise the fact.
Maybe they are the Silly Lot, and the one who decided to castigate us represent the Wicked Lot.
Doesn’t make a Lot of sense to some perhaps, and more sense to others, but I enjoyed writing this.
Lots of regards

Kevin(other lot member)The way I read that are you not a member of another lot, rather than the other lot?
A lot of confusion, unless you read it twice.

And we all know what happened to Other Lots’s wife. 😉
Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt.
GenesisRe: A sign of the times?
I suppose I ought to take the tale of That Lot, versus the Other Lot coupled with the Involvement of Another Lot to a new level.
Please forgive me for being remiss in not mentioning in my last post a proposed liaison between the Other Lot and Another Lot; I suppose the family name might be Yet a Different Lot.
The other Lot have just had their AGM, and you may recall from my last posting that at that small event a derisory comment was passed about UKW, being referred to as “That Lot”, yes us. The instigator of the aside is a big noise in the body of repairers known as Another Lot, and it seems his cohorts are rapidly gaining a high profile within the patronage of the Other Lot. This includes a member of the management team taking a position within the heart of the organisation of the Other Lot, that I’m sure will reduce the credibility of the Other Lot, as well as their supposed impartiality, and may well reduce their chances of gaining other independent members.
The upshot of this is that the Other Lot could eventually become the mouthpiece and flunky of the group of repairers commonly known as Another Lot, unless someone within the Other Lot wakes up. All they need to do is look around them and they will find a very high percentage of their body are repairers for Another Lot.
Yes you now have it; members and management of Another Lot are gradually interspersing with the Other Lot, and of course as the Other Lot are so thin on the ground that they may have unwittingly welcomed the beast into their homely abode.
By the way, No I’m not naming names. Even Clueseau should be able to work this lot out.
