    Maybe we should try contacting some journalists about this?
    Apparently JB emailed Quentin Willson and hasn't got anything back from him.

    Any ideas then RevH??

    Erm, not sure who he is, but ok. Actually a petrolhead friend of mine is in PR and has contact with reasonably high up journalists. I'll have a word with him and see what he can do...

    Quentin Willson used to do Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson in the 'old' days - someone suggested him to me because he likes to challenge the government, apparently... I've still not heard a sausage.... :o

    I'm willing to email and annoy anyone if you have any ideas!

    I have just emailed all the MEPs for Scotland (I do not have an MP at the moment - waiting for a bye election).

    Do you think it is worth e-mailing MSPs?

    Some tips when e-mailing:
    • Be polite
    • Keep the information concise and to the point
    • Include customer reference numbers or invoice numbers, if applicable
    • Include a brief history of the issue, if applicable
    • Do not accept being passed back to "Customer Services" or elsewhere within the organisation
    • Insist on a reply from the CEO
    If you're working as part of a campaign group, send a personal, individually-created letter and perhaps a link to this site
