    Looks like he typed it himself... LOL

    They'd be after half million if they actually had to do anything.

    Know how you are feeling. I wrote to my MP a month ago, still not heard a thing. I used to think he was good at his job!
    Gone ... or have I?

    Ok, exactly what was in your letter, and what response were you hoping for/expecting?

  • Did he actually put your surname in the letter or just leave it blank?

    I have to say that I have written to my MP on 2 occasions in the last year and she has replied both times and has done what she can to help.

    When MPs write to me / opur Chief Exec at work, you can really tell that they employ relatives / friends of their children. I get letters to dear (oops no name on the letter), incorrectly spelled and addressed.

    Letters are addressed to 'The Manager' xxxxx, no name or anything else and even when they ring up to chase a month later and have a go, I ask, where did you send this random letter to? 'We're not sure', who did you addressit to? 'The manager', we have over 900 people in about 20 seperate locations :rotfl:

    Last time, I asked why it wasn't addressed to the CEO who could forward to the right person.:confused: 'Didn't know his name', did you look on our website with names and pics of the whole board:rolleyes: 'no'

    I've even had a work experience person screaming 'do you know who I work for??' at an assistant director because they refused to get a director out of a meeting, when he tried that with me, I told him if he carried on, I would complain to the Parliamentary standards people in a private capicity about his behaviour and MP for bringing the office into disrepute.

    amatuers the lot of them~ and we let them get away with it rather than holding them to account and saying it's not good enough.
