    So we're back to reading. ;)

    Hpuse it is always a good idea to read things before deciding what action to take.

    Spot on. Of course one should read what they are buying.

    However, my message throughout this forum is loud and clear addressed to the future...

    It is not a good idea to setup business and rip-people off and make a profit capitalising on the fact that someone will "fail to read my t&c;s".

    I thought you too had got that message... but apparently not ?

    Moreover; are dannny and hpuse one and the same person...?

    are you the same person as hpuse?

    My role in this thread was to show that a particular website had still not complied with an ASA demand. I laid out what ASA had stated, then showed the current web page that still did not comply with what ASA demanded.

    The fact someone decided to argue the toss about that fact (Pollycat) even though the evidence is overwhelming (see post 26) does not make me hpuse !!!!!!

    I sometimes think some people on here have the mental capacity of 3 year olds.

    Now, care to explain why you are attacking me?

    Why bother reading and replying if they are 'non-sensical':rotfl:



    Because anyone on MSE has to only read a post of yours to find it's nonsense...unfortunately. You've still not explained that post and it's stupidity. But hey you live with it when you wake up on a daily basis and find a mirror.

    "Next time when you start replying to my post please "read" and understand the difference between a "dispute", a "chargeback" and circumstances that lead to issue of a "refund" into customers account."

    So..............i wasted my 17 years in the banks Disputes department then ?

    I really don't think i need YOUR explanation of how disputes work, i've forgotten more than you'll ever know about this.

    Patronising comments like these just show you for what you are. Full of rubbish.

    Not a good idea?

    Really?

    I think you'll find that these companies think that it's a very good idea indeed - and they are making a tidy profit out of it - aided and abetted by the official departments and organisations who are doing little to stop them setting up these businesses.

    Awwww, .... please don't get emotional about your professional years. 17.1th year, its worthwhile to understand that you should "read" posts than resort to personal attacks when you don't have anything to contribute to the topic.

    Yes, Its the same advise .....again "read"

    The only reason why I came loud to all those 'thickos' on this thread coz some people especially the older posters of this forum think they know everything ....and exhibiting ill-knowledge in a public forum is not wisdom. Now peace.

    If anyone is 'exhibiting ill-knowledge' on this public forum, it's you, Hpuse.

    Now peace (off).

    Kettle. Pot. Black.

    The "ill-knowledge" (is that even a word ? don't think so) is all yours mate :D

    I rhink most people have realised that already.

    Just a thought..........maybe you should READ the websites mentioned, seeing as you advocate READING ?? Sort of blows your advice out of the water doesn't it ?
