    Nice to know I'm not the only one with BCW - pains that they are! Or should that be pain in the !!

    Could have picked more than one on your list - decided to go with Westcot they have been the most annoying lately.

    I am really sorry, but I cannot vote. Since I changed my phone number months ago, I only recieve letters that I ignore (cos they are computer generated ones anyway and no-one can be bothered to reply to my nice responses).

    As I am therefore technically chased by "tree" and not by person, I don't have a personal hatred of anyone in particular.

    However, I am willingly open to bribery if anyone wants a vote cast a particular way...........

    Wow Angel - what a lovely bump!!!!:T How do you manage to stay so slim whilst pregnant? I want another - my baby is now 8 months old and is a little love but now you've made me feel broody all over again - hubby won't be too pleased (lol) :rotfl:
    She's so low down she must be nearly there now - if not imminent.

    My guess was for 10.19am tomorrow so I might be in luck.

    Sorry Mike, hijacked your thread - my vote goes to Moorcroft too as we have 6 debts with them and they are total pains in the bottom, I must get at least 10 letters a week and they have agreed payments - haven't they anything better to do?????????????????
