Coldseal Hell - in my opinion, every bit as low as one would
expect the double glazing industry to sink. I was rang at
home by a Scottish sounding cold caller from this shower in
August 2006. He started off by saying he was not touting for
business but undertaking a survey - yeah right! I asked him
where he got my phone number from as I am ex-directory. The
representative replied that "Jesus appeared to him in a dream
last night" and gave him my number. I asked to be put through to
his manager to identify where this rogue trader style company
had got my number from. Another Scottish guy came on and asked
me to hold the line while he hung up on me. I contacted their
head office to complain - they have a Scottish telesales centre
where I presume that these lowlife bums operate from, but the
impression I was left with was that they really didn't give a
shit what was said on their behalf. Make of Coldseal what you
will, but given my experience of the way they operate I wouldn't
dream of ever giving them any business. |

TomTom Go730 connecting to Virgin Mobile via my Nokia
TomTom are a real pain. I've just put this little fix here so I
remember how to get the connection going again between my Go730
and Virgin Mobile 3G, forget all the login scripts and
connecting manually, it isn't necessary. Firstly use the TomTom
and go to Change Preferences, find Factory reset in the menu and
reset the TomTom and switch it off. Delete the pairing between
the TomTom and the phone in the phone. Take the battery out of
the phone to reset it. Switch them both back on. Add mobile
phone to the TomTom and follow the instructions, it should
connect automatically. The bit that goes wrong is where it
invites you to connect to the TomTom server whilst creating a
connection to share anonymous info, do not accept this
invitation and the rest should proceed okay. When the connection
is established, Go to TomTom traffic (if that's the service you
have) and you will be invited to input your username which is
the same as your email address that the TomTom account is
registered in, then input your password, it only accepts lower
case but don't worry. Voila, it should all be working until the
next time it fails!
Rowlands Pharmacy, Rawtenstall - don't give them your
business!
"I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about the
delivery driver of Rowlands pharmacy who covers the Rawtenstall
branch on Burnley Road, Rossendale. On September 13th at just
before 5PM, my wife was in her small car carrying three young
children heading along Burnley Road near Maddisons wine bar. The
two lanes merge into one at that point, my wife was in the
outside lane with me following shortly behind. She allowed a
couple of vehicles on the inside to pass before moving slowly
over into the single lane. The Rowlands Pharmacy van accelerated
into the narrow gap nearly taking off my wife's wing mirror off
and proceeded to prevent her joining the single file by drawing
up to the bumper of the car in front. He was revving his van
loudly in an aggressive manner - I couldn't believe my eyes,
especially as he was in a company vehicle. As her car was still
moving and my wife not anticipating such an aggressive action,
she was forced to take an evasive maneuver and ended partly on
the other side of the road facing oncoming traffic with three
kids in the back. I wonder if he would have done it had it been
a man? She came to a complete halt but did sound her horn to
complain. My wife is a nervous driver and is courteous at all
times. In contrast, the Rowlands driver was bullying and
aggressive - I understand he finishes work at 5 according to
staff there and was probably keen to get back to the shop in
time, but that is no excuse for bullying my wife and children
and nearly causing them to end up in a road traffic accident. I
am absolutely livid and it is undoubtably a good thing that he
isn't still at the shop this evening as I am so angry I might
well have done something I would regret. The shop is attached to
the GP practice where we are registered as a family, we have
always used Rowlands pharmacy, but will make sure we don't give
you any business in future. Perhaps Rowlands should consider the
negative impact that results when idiots like this are employed
and sent out into into the community in vans carrying Rowlands
livery."
