Re: ISDAL
The latest. Should you happen to order parts from ISDAL & If it is a “cash” call or insurance job that didn’t come through them, or worse than that if you fail to put their job number on an order; you will now be charged a “handling/administration” fee of £5.00
Therefore if Leibherr on D&G, you get the double whammy. £5 charged by Leibherr, plus another fiver for ISDA. I picked the phone up & complained that we should have been advised of a hidden charge, Wendy has promised me a credit note.
Suggest not published in trade forums for now as they will know where it came from, and considering they have agreed to refund me, I can’t really moan. However, keep your eyes open.

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
What about Rose Cottage, loooked everywhere in this village. Tried a cottage with no name and Roses around the door, woman got stroppy with me, and failed to see the point I made that she lived in a cottage, there were roses, and by process of elimination, I thought I’d got the right place. She sent me off up another little track, and at the end, a nice new bungalow, and that would you believe was Rose Cottage. Customer said, Oh I knew you’d have a job to find me!
Another one, “Badgers Holt”, Meadow Road etc. Meadow Road was a spine road in a new housing estate, all houses numbered. Looked up and down, and went to a phone box and asker her where she lived. She told me It is called Badgers Holt, and I told her I’d been up and down this estate and she was not to be found, she then said she was next to 37, Before 41. So not number 39 then!

Re: Radio 2 part 36
Mark Radcliffe is an excellent presenter, and above all in his evening shows the music is very good indeed. Can’t understand why we get Stuart Maconie instead of the Lard, (Mark Riley), but nevertheless, not a bad show
However, put him into a main-stream slot, and he will have to run off a play-list of popular dross and silly competitions.
Leave him alone. I feel these days with radio player, if you want to listen to both a quality presenter, followed by quality music, listen again on-line at a time to suit you, and enjoy. If you are unsure as to what I’m getting at, wait till he’s back on of an evening and look at a play list.
Hard to come by now. I must admit, as much as I like Wogan, I’m tiring of him trying to defend the actions of the Beeb Beeb Ceeb regards the telephone scam.

Re: We Have Issues!
Very eoloquently put Ken.
You didn’t even mention LPG, nor the specific literature that we are expected to buy at extortionate prices. Add to that the techs have to re-sit every 5 years; another expense, in my case £1,550 per engineer this year for the re-assessment including the LPG.
Then for all that, what do we get back, very little indeed.

Re: Hoover Junior 1346 bearing problems?
Am I in a timewarp?? 3314L my gosh we are going back. 1334 & 1346 rear bearing, Hoover used to advise you clean the armature shaft with petrol before fitting to the bearing. Regards the special brass grease applicator, and nozzles, I still have one.
Re the 3224 door seal, if you can get the pale blue one, that is a find, Martin will know what I mean. They were replaced by the black one in the late 60’s. The sump-hose (aka Bagpipes) have been unobtainable for 20 odd years now.

Re: Accounts Stuff
That’s good, expect a large sum from an awfully polite gentleman from Nigeria. He is “wanting most sincerely your eminent kind sir”, to take some money he has forthcoming, and needs a bank account in which to place it in order to gain access.
I thought it a good idea to let him have the details, I told him any queries ask to speak to the Rotherham office.
Will be sorted in a day or two at my end.

Very next day, I get a statement. Thought oh well must be due, I’ll do the same as before & pay on-line straight out the bank account.
Came bouncing back today, I therefore assume the bank details have moved. Can I have a p.m. with the new account number, then I can sleep at night. Is it possible just to confirm whether my payment was actually due as I seem to have conflicting information?

How the hell would I keep my trousers up? Suppose being from the West Country, baler twine will suffice, then the tie could trap food spillages, be wrung out in hot water & used as a soup.

Re: DAG TEQ Awards Fixed Or Not?
We posted some d/washer basket wheels once, and charged D&G postage only.
The sent a questionairre, and because we didn’t call the customer ticked all the no boxes. Made sense really, i.e “was engineer of tidy apperance”, didn’t have an engineer, better put a no. “Did the engineer arrive as expected” again a no, I suggested to D&G they have a word with Royal Mail.
My biggest complaint is regards service delay, “Was it 2-3 days etc. if more, were you satisfied with this response”? The ones that tick a no you can guarantee included a weekend or bank holiday. One complained that the service centre was closed over the 4 day Christmas period.

Re: DAG TEQ Awards Fixed Or Not?
Service Force usually come 3rd in the D&G survey, and when you consider the diversity of product and the sole use of agents it aint half bad.
Second is usually B.S.H. and as mentioned Glen Dimplex come top. Glen dimplex are more of a one trick pony, and can stock the vans accordingly. To ensure they can look good, at busy times they send their I/G work and recalls to Service Power. I wish I could do that.

Re: Another joke.
He was walking home late at night and sees there is a woman in the shadows.
“Twenty quid, ” she whispers.
He’d never been with a hooker before, but decides what the heck, it’s only twenty quid .
So they hide in the bushes. They’re going “at it” for a couple of minutes when suddenly a light flashes on them. It’s a police officer.
“What’s going on here, people?” asks the officer.
“I’m making love to my wife,” Paddy answers indignantly.
“Oh, I’m sorry sir” says the cop, “I couldn’t know that.”
“Well,” Paddy says, “neither did I. Not until you shined that light in her face.”
