Sorry a Moan
BUT recently two members I have tried to help, one wanted to view my Topaz, although not for sale she hadn`t seen one , was in same county so quite near, so I agreed, never heard any more, nothing whatsoever, another one about MH details, that is for sale, nothing back from that one either and then I asked a question to a third, no reply,
I can understand if they have changed their minds etc, surely only polite to reply if only to refuse,
Think I will remain stum from now on. I think a lot join for information and then disappear, which to my mind is unacceptable.
Sorry for the moan.
It is still a great forum, thank you,
Best regards,
Margaret

Re: Sorry a Moan
The latest gripe was with a scaffolding company that just turned up unannounced. When I said it would have nice to let me know they coming they said it dosnt matter we are here now. When they did the same thing a week later to remove the scaffolding I was about to go out for an appointment so I told them to wait half an hour or call me to make an appointment they were not happy. They were still there when I got home.
I regard the lack of communication as very rude. In this technology world we are living in it dosnt take a lot of effort. You don’t even need to speak.

Same as saying "Good Morning" when out walking the dog and just get a blank look, if you are lucky.

To me, it is just polite. But also with email, it is so easy - if you feel embarrassed or difficult about it, an e mail makes it easy.

Re: Sorry a Moan
It is bad manners where things are organised for others then fail to turn up without any notification to the arranger.
When I was brought up I was educated that if you couldn't go to any appointment/meeting you notified the OP that you couldn't go or were no longer interested. I know that those of you who I know personally would do the same

Re: Sorry a Moan
And fir lack of respect... I got in trouble in tescos a few years back, 11th November at 11am. There I am stood silent for the minute at 11, and this guy pushes me out of the way to get at the cheese. Not even an excuse me, let alone his ignorance.
I'm afraid a couple of minutes later I caught up with him and gave him a full on mouthful, not only fir his lack of manners, but his downright ignorance and lack of respect.
I got thrown out of tesco....

Re: Sorry a Moan
The irony is... Dad was in the Seaforth Highlanders, and when he left he took a job in the Cheshire Constabulary as they were 'recruiting' and his officer recommended him to the chief super. So I was born in Cheshire, and sound like a strange mixture of Manc and Inversnakey! Apparently when I get aerated I sound like a weegie!

A guy behind my wife started mouthing off about us "hurrying up". He got a "death stare" from my wife, much more effective than any weegie rant from me

Yes, I would concur, my better half has the same ability. A look is all it takes....Askit wrote:

Your post though, first part, the reaction to your patience and manners, it sums up what's wrong with society nowadays. No patience, and no compassion.
I go through a door and I hold it open for the person behind. If its a lady behind I'll open the door and let them through (which is apparently wrong now?), but you wonder why you bother when the person going through the door before you lets it slam in your face!

Anybody asks is the m/h, or Land Rover, for sale, first thing I do is say no, then point at the obvious camera. But not the 3 not so obvious ones ;)

This incident un-nerved us so much that we also invested in two cameras. Not sure if they would be much use if someone was wearing a hoody and ballaclava at night but they help.Peatlander 2 wrote:All our vehicles are covered by cctv. As is the front and back door.

Re: Sorry a Moan
Except I have a sort of mid Atlantic Canadian accent, at a typical drive thru in Canada and I can't understand a word the youngsters are saying, Canadians think I am Australian, English think I am American and the Cornish haven't got a clue except they know I am from somewhere up country! My French is akin to the policeman in Allo Allo and don't get me started on whether a bonnet goes on your head or is part of a car or should that be automobile or even veeeehicle....!Bilbobaggins wrote:Just thought you were typing in Scots dialect, as I was reading it I was hearing. Sutherland accent, just as with Groundhog imagine the words with a Cornish accent. Boaby leaves me a bit confused with Scottish background tinged with Yorkshire.

Back on thread bugs me to when people don't say thankyou if their posts are responded to. Pet hate ( apart from the expression "Not fit for purpose" is when people come round to quote for a job and you never hear from them again. At least say at the time "Sorry it is not for me" or " I would rather not quote thankyou" anything else is just plain rude!
