    I’m doing the work direct for S.E.S. of Redditch. They pay up very quickly and straight into my bank account.

    Can’t be bad!

    I was booked B&B. If I had a bill for £17 breakfast I would expect Champagne, Devilled Kidneys and Kedgeree.

    Re: Feb Meeting 2012 – General Trade

    I tried to book using the code at around 11:30 this morning, and was advised the allocation had been used up.

    So I’m booked in at around £84 like it or lump it, no chance of cancelling or reassignment, my room, payment taken, and that is it!

    To be honest I’m not too bothered as it was difficult to book the room. (Language barrier, poor lass couldn’t understand my Worzelese)

    See you Thurs night.

    Distriparts have the right idea. If the box has been opened they will not receive it back.

    See the odd one and have had trouble getting bits, but I put that down to the realities of stuff from the far-east.

    Re: annoying customers kids

    Did I read that right?

    Woman with a brood of brats stands there whilst her little darlings smash the new replacement door for her cooker, and then you went on an re-ordered and more than once.

    Now the burning question would have to be, who is paying for the doors as well as the visits? After all none of this was your doing, and the responsibly must lie with the customer.

    I know if this incidence came my way, I would expect the customer to cover all additional costs.

    Have to say I was tempted, but it was 11 years ago they thought fit to eject the faithful CANDY agents who were left on the wayside thanks to the way they decided to do the work.

    imagine my disapointment when they did not even have the decency to acknowledge the receipt of the email.

    I cut my teeth on Hoover products from the ealy 70’s as well as my first Candy course in April 1977 on the “Lady K”

    Be patient Mr Suedehad, perhaps they have been overwhelmed with possible agents. Plus it is Christmas, so I would wait until after the festivities have ended.

    New guy running repaircare who has come from the AA.

    He wants to replicate the AA’s service model basically.

    Looking to get you all working 24/7/365 with no increase in cost.

    Probably insist we all use Yellow Vans. Provide your own screwdriver no doubt.

    Also, cutting agents to make less of a network but make some agents far larger in terms of work.

    Makes sense as that allows more power to dictate the terms that they want you to work to.

    Possibly, but they are well aware that is is risky business putting too many eggs in one basket. They do like to cover their options.

    K.

    Not that I’m bothered. Have gradually reduced my calls from them.

    I have heard the Rangemaster Contract is up for renewal next Month, so the lucrative part of deal may well move elsewhere. If it does then I will follow and hopefully pick it up again.

    Looks like 2012 will be an interesting year.

    Re: Indesit haven’t thought this through…

    Martin, I hate to keep on re this, but I’m convinced the call is being intercepted up by D&G Inkfish in Talbot St Nottingham. This is what normally happens.

    The consumer is not speaking to the manufacturer but an insurance sales person. Reading between your lines it seems pretty plain this is the case.

    The only way Indesit (Merloni) could be blamed is because they like others have allowed this to happen.
