Re: Computer nerd required
Hi guys I had a look at pricing a home build and as Twoten says there not much difference with manufacturers kit , I have had a look at Dell systems and compared them to Mesh who seem to have similar specs. but a bit cheaper, I have narrowed it down to this model. Any advice on Mesh?

Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?
I know you should’nt do this in business but,,
Customer rings up for a Washer repair, we offer next day PM sorry she says thats no good as I am going away until next week 😕 So OK we offer her Tues PM next week and she is happy . She rings up Tues morning and says sorry she is not available PM could we go AM 👿
Sorry we say we have planned the route for that day and we could not possibly go AM. Ok she says when can you come? the next avilable was Thurs PM. Thats OK she says WHAT time? ,it will be after 12 PM we reply, no she says WHAT time will you be here as I have a very busy schedule, sorry we can’t give a precise time, why she says?
At this stage my secretary has had enough and passes me the phone.I understand that you wan’t a precise time? so I read out the calls that I have to do before I get to her house and ask her if she can advise me when I will get to her house 8)
She then says that I should give her preferential treatment as she has had to wait for over a week for us to call! 👿
Sorry I said, I know how we can both resolve this problem PLEASE go somewhere else as it it is obvious that we cannot help you and give them the grief, I do not need customers like you , goodbye 😀

hotpnt wrote: as kiddo says, you have to buy the reader & then a smart card for every module you fit, so not really any different from ordering a module & eeprom, except you also have to buy the card reader!
I still don’t believe for one minute that Independents will have the option to buy this technology from Merloni 😥 if history is to go by, look at the “Wash Doctor” and eeprom programmer, not available to us and our customers (and Merloni’s) have to pay an extortionate price for a 10 p chip, as I said earlier “pigs fed and ready to fly”If I am wrong then whats the part numbers for these readers so as I can get one? 😉
Re: Van signwriting
I use top quality magnetic signs, which are the shape and size of the panels on the side of the van, lasted 9 years now, changed the van three times. They look proffesional not like little signs. The beauty of this system is that when you trade in your van they don’t knock off an extra grand for respraying the van 😉

hotpnt wrote:the new machines now use a ‘smart card’ to programme the modules, you will be able to buy a smart card reader, when you order a module you then use the reader with the smart card for each machine to programme
Still does not help us (and Hotpoint’s LOYAL customers) with the previous models made in the last five years though, does it? 😥
Re: hotpoint/indesit software (wash doctor)?
Arn’t we all 😥 The Merloni monopolism have deemed it not suitable for the likes of us independents
Re: Another joke.
A man owned a small farm in Herefordshire
The Inland Revenue Minimum Wage Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.
‘I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,’ demanded the agent.
‘ Well,’ replied the farmer, ‘there’s my farm hand who’s been with me for 3
years. I pay him £150 a week plus free room and board.The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her £100 per week plus free room and board.
Then there’s the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of all the work around here. He makes about £10. per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a couple of bottles of wine every Saturday night.
He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.’‘That’s the guy I want to talk to — the half-wit,’ says the agent.
‘That would be me,’ replied the farmer.

Re: Hoover Door Seal
Thanks Martin
You learn something every day, I never knew the old one fitted and it just so happens that I have one in the scraping out box in the workshop, so thanks for the offer my friend but I won’t need yours.
