    Of course if AW do "investigate" this complaint they will come back with one of several stock answers. Either this was an "isolated incident" or "that particular person is no longer with the company" or "we have instigated a training programme for those few employees who are falling short of our very high standards", or "this is not company policy" and the classic "lessons have been learnt from this incident".

    These answers crop up regularly on such programmes as Watchdog and Rogue Traders when a company's shady practises are exposed. They actually don't mean a thing and are just a PR ploy and a damage limitation strategy.

    I dont entertain any door to door salesman, I found out the last two I had early this year are liars, not this company though

    One said council doing a survey on heat loss with thermal camera said can I agree for the council to take photo showing any potential heat loss then I get subtle sell on replacement of DG windows/doors as my old ones of 4-5 years may need replacing

    Another said I live in a neighbourhood watch area (I dont) and by law they have to inform everyone on the street they are doing work and do I want my windows replaced? Lie 1, no neigh-hood watch area, lie 2 they wasnt working on our street its a small narrow cul de sack, lie3 you dont have to inform everyone.

    Any leaflets I get get binned that includes Kleenzy and other crap

    Just put a note on your door saying "no sales people ", it might work

    Hello,

    Are you going to answer the questions I asked in post #27?
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
  • When ever anyone starts to sell me something I either pretend to be foreign and speak pigeon English or open the door singing "Tie a yellow ribbon rund the old oak tree" whilst staring right in to their eyes.

    When I came back, I called the other company who quoted me. They were exactly twice as much as Anglian. I gave them the order.

    Cue a visit from Anglian again a few weeks later asking why they didn't get the order. I brought the guy in, made him a cup of tea, gave him biscuits, replayed him his bosses voicemail and told him to get to F%ck out of my house and that I would be reporting his company to whoever I could....

    So to get your own back on someone who followed up on a quote by leaving a polite voicemail, you invited them in and then screamed at them to get out and then paid double for something just to spite them?

    What exactly did you plan to report his company over, and to whom?

    Are you mentally ill?

    I think a phrase involving the words cut, nose, spite and face comes to mind about Archway. ;)

    :rotfl:I love this! :rotfl: Wish I had the guts to try it!

    I'll be humming that tune for the rest of the day now! #I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on meeeee....#
    Are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation? :cool:
