    Thanks for that Carmine. Are they 2 separate stores as it was only the ladies store that seemed to be mentioned.

    it is not libel to phrase a question in such a manner IMO.
    And you are entitled to your opinion. However, I believe his words were quite deliberate and intended to state that I committed criminal offences when I was in the Police. He has so far refused to explain his position which is of itself an indication that he intended the words to be conveyed in the manner I understood them. He even went as far as saying that he stuck by what he had written. All I have asked for is an apology and others here believe it is only fair that he complies with that wish.

    All Quentin has to do is apologise or provide evidence of his allegation. He complains that people do not answer his points, yet when he is asked to he completely ignores such requests.

    On seeing this cop out
    Like you ignoring this point?

    I refer you to your previously posted comment about me "Nigewick, you used to boast you are an ex-copper.

    Is this how you used to stitch people up?"

    Do you still say that you stand by this quote stating that I committed criminal offences when a Police Officer or will you apologise?

    I am an Independent Distributor with Utility Warehouse and any opinions expressed here are my own and may not be shared by the company.

    The only issue I have with the UW method is that it is much more open to abuse by unscrupulous distributors/salesmen.
    I disagree. It has the same possibilities for abuse as any other utilities provider. If another company finds a sales person doing something wrong that person will hopefully lose their job. If a Utility Warehouse distributor does something wrong they can lose an income stream that they have built up over time to be quite large.

    I am happy to be called a sales person who gets remuneration from the company, but, is not employed by them and therefore gets no other employed person's benefits.

    Let's get down to facts here, that's the only way this is going to be concluded.

    Has that bloke apologised to your mate yet for the slander by the way? or is he too embarassed still?
    Unfortunately, facts are not the be all and end all on this thread.

    No Quentin has not apologised to me, provided evidence for his statement or even attempted to explain his words.

    Yes, but instead of all the hearsay and nonsense, surely some tariff information and some actual facts wouldn't go amiss?

    I didn't have the will or boredom level to go back through the whole thread, but people are asking for proof of the TVG being true. The only way to do that is to check some prices unfortunately, otherwise it looks like you are hiding something.

    Got to be honest again, I still think the only way that a person can actually make real savings is by taking all of the services, which is where I was going with my original posts.

    Only when the cashback card and free calls are in use will you actually see decent savings IMO.

    LOL. Are you an MP? An honest mistake, Gov. I'm sure some more cynical people than I would call it blatant fabrication in a desparate attempt to prove a point. Not me, though. Oh no. :rolleyes:

    If I were to attempt some 'blatant fabrication' I suspect even you might concede that I would not make a statement that could so easily be proved to be a mistake!!

    However you as are comparing my mistake to Keggs' statement:

    Are you saying that Keggs is wrong and there is no discount applied to bring UW prices down?

    Or Keggs is correct and there is such a discount?

    Keggs,
    Just to make the point that you do not have a monopoly on repetitive posts.

    Will you state if, as part of the TVG, UW give a discount to bring UW prices down to BG prices.

    You did say I ought to have known that they did - but I honestly didn't!

    Would Nigewick, Mike by the Sea, or arteta1878(the latest UW distributor to grace this thread) care to give their opinion and help Keggs out.

    A simple yes or no will suffice.

    Maybe it's a personality defect because you did the same thing when you claimed to be 'in profit' a year after taking out the BG 2010 Fix Tariff when it was soon established it was total nonsense. That was also very easy to prove incorrect. Who knows? :confused: We all have these 'quirks' in our personality and experience 'abberrations' - look at Richard Madeley, for instance. Winona Ryder...

    As regards Keggs, as I have never been a customer or distributor of UWs I couldn't truthfully answer you. Sorry. :confused:
    Call me Carmine....

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??
