K.
Perhaps we should register that domain, as yet unocupied.
I’m sure we could fill it soon. 😉
Consider this while you make you’re decision please.
In less than a fortnight after putting them on stop, I have increased our chargeable work by about 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}. Mainly due to the fact we can now offer a far better and faster service when we are not bogged down with high volume, low profit work. Apart from that, chargeable calls pay 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} immedietly.
TBH I think I would be a few sandwiches short of a picnic to even consider regaining NESN work, unless they guaranteed 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} payment within 60 days, and NO coverplan work at all.

About 6 weeks ago, only available from Distriparts.
Dave.Thanks guys but they only sell the parts for the Liesure versions, this one is before that time. I’m gonna give up on this one.
Cheers
Dave.
Mark, it would appear that no-one here sells aga’s, or has much dealings with them. Probably because of the limited market and that they are not usually associated with white goods as such.
The Aga website has a list of retail outlets here though:

It may be of some use to you.

As above, may bring the wife, if so I’ll need a double room, or perhaps 2 singles might be better 😉 Ken, if you could book a double for now please, if any different I’ll contact the Butterfly closer to the time. Thanks.

Re: NESN UPDATE

I’ve had them on stop since 1/9, currently we are ‘suspended’ from recieving any new calls which means we will still get the advance balance paid, untill I end the contract or they terminate us.
appboy wrote:Maria asked if I was working for MFI, I confirmed I am and asked if this was a problem? No, as I have not signed a contract.
We aren’t doing the MFI work, but that is irrellevent, if one of NESN’s customers approaches me directly I will take the work (at the right rate), if they throw up the contract crap, I will subtly point out that they are in breach for irregular payments. Cut’s both ways I’m afraid.
appboy wrote:With that out of the way, I agreed to listen further! Maria explained that the lack of confidence with NESN was a Northern problem and all the Southern agents were quite happy 😀 !.
Utter shite, how much further South is there from here, give her my phone number (I’m not joking) if she chucks that crap up again.
appboy wrote:I asked about the payments problems, and she informed me that NESN had approached the bank to increase its overdfaft and all future payments would be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}!
Nic Cooper has made me the same promise, BTW it’s the Royal Bank of Scotland who are restricting NESN’s payments, according to our uninformed Mr Cooper anyway.
appboy wrote:I asked her about the missing 12k from my last payment and who gave them permission to contra 12k and pay my connections bill!
She appologised and explained that J.T had been on holiday and it should not have occured! I was not on my own, apparently another 10 agents also took a hit 😥Bollocks ! Connect and NESN have a common denominator, see the Rumour Mill 😀
appboy wrote:Maria went into great detail about problems in the call centre, and how the coverplan work had really f****d them up. She has the task of sorting the call centre out and getting it back on track. Apparently they have more work than they know what to do with ❓
Then they should ask JT to resign, insurance salesman selling a contract they have no idea how to manage or finance, what a f….kin joke.
appboy wrote:When asked if I would take them off stop, I replied that I would on the proviso that I could select the postcodes and type of work I wanted, ie not coverplan! She agreed in principal and said she would talk to J.T and would come back on Friday with some answers.
ATEOTD it’s your choice how to run your business as you wish, NESN or anyone else for that matter can’t dictate which areas you work in, they might at the moment offer you a set rate, then it’s up to you whether you accept that or not, by doing so, you are in principal agreeing to accept any conditions they may impose. I personally wouldn’t agree to anything without an agreement (contract) being signed by both parties to that effect, on your terms of course 😉
appboy wrote:She was very interested about the Whitegoods site and DASA link and was really pushing for info, I told her a lot was happening and a new network was being formed, she said NESN was not worried as we cant possibly offer the services that they do! and as such, did not see it as a threat 😉
JT told me a similar thing after threatening me with legalities over some supposed comments I had made. 👿
They wouldn’t be the slightest bit interested if they didn’t see it as a threat, anyway Joanne Loach is a registered member, but as yet hasn’t asked to access the trade forums, if she did, she would see there is very little in there to concern them. At the moment anyway. 😯Dave.
That’s the way I have told our engineers and call bookers, any Powerhouse customers are to pay the engineer then claim back, irespective of where the appliance was sold.

Ken I checked SIOS, there are 15 versions of ADP259 and at least 3 different facia part numbers. 🙁 There will be a 12nc on it beggining 854225915??? it’s the last 3 numbers that are important.
I might have a facia, I’ll check if you can get that number to me.
Cheers

Telescope
The info about Telescope is about the same as I heard at the time, Paul Carpenter was down dealing with it and popped in to see me while he was down here. I didn’t know about the directors though. We do deal with them occasionally on other matters as they are direct Sharp agents and we sell Sharp products, including microwaves. Which brings me to an interesting point, why is it that NESN historically owned/managed by brown goods people, are the only wp to not put microwaves in to the white goods category. 🙁
mmmmmmm
Dave.
