  • Indeed you are correct - lets hope Savvy Consumer joins in other threads and sections on the forum then? As you say in your other post you get people joining to either praise or slate and nothing else which helps noone

    I think Savvy Consumer should post on whichever forum they want to whenever they want to and about whatever they want to wherever they feel they can add value....

    Rdel - sidestepping the topic every so slightly and I hope you don't mind me asking but are you from Yorkshire?

    Home of Tim Deegan AND La Romantica?

    Small World eh?

    Indeed, just adds a bit more credibility a bit like people as you say who only comment positively on one thread....

    I could post many things such as having this webpage up in the background browsing the forums inbetween working, looking over other mattress threads to see how people are getting on with their purchase and comparing it to mine or just stalking your posts to see what stuff you come up with next.

    Regardless of how strange you may or may not find it that's just the way it is. I joined this forum to look into buying a mattress, liked what I saw. Browsed a few different topics....is all of this ok with you? Maybe I'm just not 'most' people whoever they are.

    Can't you see how funny it is that you accuse me and 'other' people of joining for a short while (apparantly because were assassins in disguise or something) and when sunshinetours does the same thing you shoot her down to defend savvy consumer just because he/she happened to agree with you. Are they now in your gang or something?

    I just think you're hilarious.

    This is quickly turning a slagging match that everyone complains about so I'm finished in this thread, all yours mate. I'm off to start posting in some none mattress threads so allstar4eva doesn't think I'm one of those sneaky mattress assassins anymore.
    I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain amount of things, at this rate I may never die!

    I've been called worse things than "her" but would certainly prefer "him" ;)

    Sunshinetours,

    Agreed to a cetain extent and yes - I also plan to use the forum more extensively in future.

    P.S. Thanks for that - I've never used that feature:beer:

    RDEL,

    This is nowhere near a slanging match - we can have a perfectly reasonable conversation as long as you stop getting annoyed and aggressive which I find strangely enough just like trying to speak to Tim! If I was in your position I would take the comments being made in a light hearted manner if I knew there was nothing to hide.

    And you conveniently ignored my question (again like Tim). Please explain to me in what way you found the service to be above and beyond your expecations to justify such a passionate defence and recommendation? He must have done something to get that passion burning:)

    P.S. I wasn't defending Savvyconsumer as such I was just politely pointing out that people don't normally find a site, register and post straight away. Sunshinetours seemed to agree so I'm not sure I understand your point.

    You just can't leave it alone, can you?
    I have emailed Tim to request a refund of the £30 collection charge. I am willing to put this down to a misunderstanding and not blatant disrespect for consumer law. We all make mistakes.
    I wasn't going to post further but I thought I would inform you all that Tim has told me via PM that he is going to start legal proceedings for libel, slander and blackmail!

    I told him to get cracking but I suggested he ask his solicitor to look at his website T's and C's first.
    When you realise you are wrong all you can do is acknowledge your mistake, apologise and try to do better next time. It's a shame certain retailers don't agree with those sentiments...

    Just those few posts demonstrate just what sort of person you are. That and 100+ emails, makes me very, very glad you are not my customer. I can't comment on the rights and wrongs of your case, I, along with everyone else on this thread, don't have all the facts - just your side of the story. However, you have not, by any stretch of the imagination, covered yourself in glory. Incidentally, did you ever send that poster copies of the e-mails? I would also be interested in reading them. PM me and I will give you my e-mail address - or are you still having 'PC problems?'

    Well we all look forward to that.

    Is your more extensive use going to deviate from your pet topic?

    Every single one of your one hundred and seventeen posts to date has been on a thread that was devoted to beds of mattresses.

    Allstar4eva, you need to broaden your outlook.

    Viktory I think that's very unfair! From your comments I can tell that you are Tim's friend! No wait! You're TIM!! ...nah that would be too obvious....I think you are Tim's second cousins friends step brothers auntie's cat!

    ....Do you live in Yorkshire you sneaky feline??

    Sorry I'm just being silly. Who could you be......You've been active on these forums since 2005 so you're not a mattress assassin......UNLESS! You're a sleeper! GENIUS! You've been posting on these forums for ages, a small comment here, an innocent remark there, blending in, keeping your head down and now BAM!

    Sorry.

    I know I said I was done on this thread but couldn't help it :o
    I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain amount of things, at this rate I may never die!
