Re: RULES
I think you read our minds Chris, Sean and myself were just on the phone talking about this.
I dont see signing up for the charter being a problem for most in the directories except for the 12 month guarantee on repairs and the PL insurance. If anyone in the directories cannot abide by this then they should not be listed.

Sorry guys, was out all day yesterday on a mission to test out the new supply of Carling Cold at my local never got home till 10.00 p.m. and was all set to reply to the posts in here when I realised that my keyboard had changed from QWERTY to hieroglyphics, so went to bed instead :beer:
Still not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} this morning so I will go through a few points in random order.Dave_Conway wrote:One point I would like to make which Sean has highlighted, Ken, Kev or myself should not be giving opinions here at all IMO, this is the AC forum, we can answer questions and help should we be asked, apart from that… ;)Dave.
Personally I don’t see a problem with this and would encourage your opinions in here ( six brains better than 3 ) it is a sad fact that between us we have about 130 years of experience in the trade so the more opinions the better.
kheath wrote:1) Why should the AC “control” the subscriber funds. What exactly do you mean by control?
KevinI think control is the wrong word here, Control rests with the site admin and so it should, the AC’s role would be to advise and recommend where the cash goes with the approval of the majority of subscribers.
kheath wrote:2) Payment for time and expenses and excess funding being returned to subscriber fund is mentioned. Where is this funding, who might have to pay what and when?Kevin
I am a bit confused on this as well Ken. Can you ever imagine a manufacturer or work provider coming to the AC and asking us to mediate in a dispute between them and one of members?
kheath wrote:I can’t agree with the Pat-UK thing going to the AC as his case is way to far gone through due process for us to interfere. Its already at court and I’m afraid Pat-UK has left it too late to make his problem known.Kevin
After reading through all the posts on Pat-UK I agree. I also think on reflection that any kind of financial help in cases like this should be offered to subscribers only. We have not got an unlimited supply of cash in the fund and if we are going to use the cash to help out members in time of need it should go to the ones who contributed to the fund. It has been pointed out to members the benefits of being a subscriber and if they dont want to spend £5 per month to join the club they cannot expect support from the people who have joined. Pat-Uk is getting advice on the thread and thats about as far as we should go with a non-subscriber.
Del wrote:Problem – not all members are Subscribers – you don’t have to Subscribe or sign the Charter to be in Directories. Does the AC claim a jurisdiction in Directories? It’s still a membership thing.Sean
Should all members who are listed in the directories be made to sign and abide by the charter before they get a listing even though they are not subscribers? To the public all firms in the directories are UKW members so do we want to advertise members who might not have PL insurance?

Went on to attend public school at Glasgow borstal where he attained an honors degree in
Haggiss trafficking, is fluent in two lanuages (Glaswegian when sober Gibberish when pissed) ……………….. err I could go on but I think but this might encourage him to edit his own profileSpot on apart from the borstal, It was a boarding school in Greenock, Government approved.
It should read: John McKenzie is a director of a midlands based domestic appliance company with 28 years experience within the trade. The company has 11 field engineers and 7 administration staff.
Good idea to have an AC meeting the night before the UKW meet in September, I will be there.

Re: In The Absence Of The AC Forum…
Couple of thoughts spring to mind,
How many cowboys out there even bother with PL insurance? This guy has it.
If there is no known negative feedback from established UKWG members or trusted sources in the trade do we asume innocent till proved otherwise.
the big BUT is operating from a mobile. Customers will be wary of this so why dont we insist on a land line number for all trade members that use repairs@ ?

JohnRe: A joke
Irish Pub Joke
An Irishman an Englishman and a Scot were sitting in a bar. The view was
fantastic, the beer excellent, the food exceptional.“Y’ken,” said the Scotsman, “I still prefer the pubs back home. Why in
Glasgow there’s a wee bar called McTavish’s. Now, the landlord there
goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy 4 drinks he
will buy the 5th drink for you.”“Well,” said the Englishman, “At my local, the Red Lion, the barman
there will buy you your 3rd drink after you buy the first 2.”“Ahhh, that’s nothin,” said the Irishman. “Back home in Dublin, there’s
Ryan’s Bar. Now the moment you set foot in the place they’ll buy you a
drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then when you’ve had
enough drinks they’ll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All
on the house!”The Englishman and Scotsman immediately pour scorn on the Irishman’s
claims. But, the Irishman swears every word is true.“Well,” said the Englishman, “Did this actually happen to you?”
“Not me myself, personally, no,” said the Irishman. “But it did happen
to me sister.”
