Brexit is a Failed Experiment with Only Rich Winners

2020-07-13T11:28:00.002+00:00

I found myself chatting with a lovely lady today who voted to leave the EU and wished she didn't as "we are not getting what we were promised."

I agreed that no one voted for this.

(The three points she made were answered, I broke them down for readability. Poor woman.)

"Why, though, we're we paying so much to the EU and getting nothing?" she wondered.

"We pay membership to get the benefits. If I pay £100 a week to TK Maxx (for example) and get £500 worth of vouchers a week to spend how I like, that's a good deal right?"

"Yes, I suppose"

"So imagine if I said I don't want to keep paying £100 a week, I want to pay nothing and get the same benefits. What do you think they'd say?"

"Get stuffed"

"Yes, of course they would. That makes sense right?"

"Now you put it that way, yes"

"By the end of the Year, there will be no trading agreement in place and we will have to deal on much stricter terms, everything will cost a lot more. Where do all these clothes come from?"

"Italy"

"Well, that's going to be interesting isn't it?"

"Erm.. Yes, I is"

She also mentioned..

" What about all the illegal immigrants coming in and draining the NHS and getting benefits.'

I said "There are no illegal immigrants from within the EU, they work and pay tax and NI. They deserve to use the NHS.

Any immigrants from outside the EU do not get the same benefits, unless they are working here. Also, if they are illegal, they can't claim, work or use the NHS. Unless they pay."

I added

" Also, all those (White) Europeans that worked here legally and paid Billions in the pot have all gone.

Now we have to invite workers from much further away to work the fields and do the jobs we won't or can't.

Places like India, Africa, Indonesia etc..., that means more dark skinned people coming to work here and bring their culture and languages.

I don't mind that at all, but I'm sure that's not what the majority voted for, is it? "

She said "I voted for my children's future, not this"

"No, now your children's future is limited. There is no freedom of movement, they can't work or study in the EU as easily as before, unless you have money.

We always had control of our borders. Even now we are letting Americans fly over here while they are banned in Europe. It's same for us too in some EU countries, because of the terrible job our government has done with the Pandemic "

I said.

Thanks for owning up and realising you were lied to, now we need you to speak up against these Liars.

She said "They're all liars"

"Not everyone is lying, just the leave campaign and tory government."

Now I have written this down, I understand why her eyes were glazing over.

The reason Sound Bites work.

People who do not check facts from credible sources or read for fun and learning, will struggle with verbose explanations like mine.

The government and leave campaign know this.

It's Not because leave voters are thick, they were fed lies in the bare minimum of sentences.

Now, they are realising that they didn't vote for any of THIS. They just can't see a way out.

What we need is a way back in. The only way we will #RejoinEU is when Leavers and Remainers stand together.

No more Division. Divide and Rule.

We have tried to explain it in a way they can understand, but long, tiresome explanation doesn't beat Strong Feelings that are conjured up by Sound Bites and Headlines.

We need to Simplify the message.

The Truth has to be easier to digest.

Because Otherwise, to them, we sound like Negative, Ranting, Conspiracy Theorists.

No Sunny Promises, just gloom.

Finally, I asked her:

"We were doing OK in the EU, before all this, weren't we?"

She replied, "Yes, actually, we were."

Caribbean Cruise Tips by Chris P Tee Magician

2019-01-29T13:59:00.001+00:00

I orginally shared these tips on my Chris P Tee Magician Blog, you may find them useful if you are sailing in the Caribbean on a P and O ship.

Most will be useful if you are in another cruise too.

Electrical

For your cabin, if you have a few electrical items to plug in at once, take a 5 gang extension lead.

There's usually only one plug on the dresser and one on the floor.

Never Leave Cheap Chinese Electricals Plugged in over night or when out of your cabin. Always unplug the main extension lead. Fire hazards!

Cleanliness

If you don't mind what shampoo or shower gel you use, don't take any, it's in the shower anyway.

Sleep

If you take your own pillow, put it in a red or patterned pillowcase so the maid doesn't take it.

Ship Account

As soon as you can, ask reception to Remove the Gratutites from your account, tell them you will tip with cash. If you don't remove it, you get charged about £20 each per day.

Tips on board

Tipping your cabin steward a $100+ is the norm, especially if they have kept your cabin spotless.

Some just tidy and wipe but no vaccum. If you are at dinner every night, always tip your two waiters. Amounts are upto you of course.

Currency in the Caribbean

Just take US Dollars and remember that Caribbean Dollars are Two for One US.

Always check if the price is Caribbean or US price. Or you'll pay double.

Local Trips are cheaper than onboard

Agree prices for trips beforehand. A smaller bus is a more personal experience, 8-10 people, nice way to make friends.

A bus with 30+ is impersonal and you end up waiting for everyone and don't get the best experience.

Something like an air con mini bus is better than a taxi or coach.

ALWAYS make sure you are back at the ship and inboard at least an hour before you set sail. If they say be on board by 5.30pm, aim to be back at 4.30pm just in case.

They WILL leave you behind. So make sure your trip has you back in time.

Saying this, the local tour guides do these trips everyday in peak season, they will get you back. Just make sure they know when you need to be.

Water

Always take water.

If you have a nice water bottle, take it.

When you go through airport security you can fill it up on other side for your flight, getting water to drink in the Dreamliners takes time and on the ship you'll be glad you had it to take back to the cabin.

Cabin water

Oh, when you arrive to your cabin, there will be bottles of water on the side, these are complimentary.

But, everything in the fridge is expensive. If you don't want it, take it out of the fridge and under the bed there is a black box, put it all in there and tell the cabin steward. That way you can use your fridge and not get charged.

Hope this is helpful x

Chris P Tee is the Funny Kid's Magician in Bristol

Chris P Tee is the Funny Kid's Magician in Bristol

This year I changed the company name from GlowGadgets.com Ltd to Comedy Magic Ltd. It wasn't a tough decision, but it was a little bit sad. After 16 years online, GlowGadgets finally became redundant. Why? Because I went back to entertaining, it's who I am, not just what I do.

As Comedy Magic Ltd, I am able to perform magic and comedy, entertain children on their Birthday's, Grown ups at Weddings and just about anywhere else you could do with a fun time.

Becoming Chris P Tee, changed my life for the better. When I was running around for everyone for GlowGadgets, I was a nervous wreak. The phone ringing at all hours by people who wanted to talk about Flashlights, Glowsticks and Lightup Gloves. Not what I had planned to do with my life.

In 2010 my daughters encouraged me, along with my local magic club, to entertain at kids parties. I had spent years performing for adults at Stag Parties, Strip joints and other less pleasant places. Who'd want me entertaining Children? I wasn't sure they'd enjoy the rude jokes and crude gags.

Luckily for me, Children loved what I did to make them laugh. Not all the parents did, I was still rough around the edges, but I worked on it and within no time I was winning the local magic clubs Children's Entertainer of the Year award. I still have it, there's not been another one since.

You can find Chris P Tee at Magic Mini Disco, this is where I started and it's about the full party experience. Mini Disco and Magic Show. Go to the new Chris P Tee website and that's all about Magic.

The most asked question is "Will you come to My Child's Party?" and the answer is "No matter where you are, if I am available and the price is right, I'd love to" So you never know, I might be entertaining your Children at their next party soon.

Visit my sites and thanks for coming to have a look at this one,

Magically yours,

Chris P Tee MMC
Member of the Magic Circle.

Trusted Car Buyers - Now There's an Oxymoron

2015-10-09T15:35:00.001+00:00

Subscribe in a reader

I am very disappointed.

No, scratch that..

I am Disgusted with Trustedcarbuyers.com

Trusted Car Buyers = Oxymoron

They let me down and tried to make me out as a liar when I delivered my wife's car to them, so they could buy it cheap.

This is the Story. If you have a Similar Story, I Encourage you to Comment Below and Share your tale with the World.

My wife owns a Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6HDi (110hp) VTR + MPV 5d 09 plate.

(SOLD THANKS TO MY OWN WEBSITE)

See the pictures, it's a tidy motor.

She's just bought an 11 year old Peugeot Convertible that she got at a price she couldn't say no to. Spent money getting it right and now we have a spare car.

The Citroen was bought in 2012 and cost her over £11k

In the three years of ownership she's looked after it and it's been a cracking family car.

It's got to be easy to sell a tidy, 6 year old, family car with less that 53k on the clock.

I put a free ad in Gumtree for a couple of weeks and had little interest at £4795.

Which, to be fair, I advertised the price it's worth for a private sale. Though trade prices were more.

After a while, I put the price at £4295. Make it a good price, it will sell and her other car is paid for.

Two nights ago, an advert came on the TV. My wife said :

"Try Trusted Car Buyers, they say they will pay a very fair price for my car"

I went online and put in the car details and the quote was £3528, that's nearly £1,500 less than it's got to be worth.

I told my wife and said

"We've not advertised it yet. I can put an ad in "Exchange and Mart" and it will sell. I just wanted to try the free route first." (I'm not tight, I'm frugal!)

Jane said

"Oh, if they give us that, it saves a lot of messing about, listing adverts and dealing with people. Give them a ring. It's worth a try before paying for ads"

So the next day, I sent the message to Trusted Car Buyers that we would sell them the car (If they don't mess us around. You know car buyers are like).

I got an email to call them.

Dan answered the phone.

In no time we were chatting like old friends. He's new to the company, he was in Recruitment before this job and though he's only bought 5 cars so far, he was very friendly, helpful, chatty and I had him laughing in no time.

Nice change to be speaking with a fellow human for once.

"We are different, we want you to get the best price with minimum hassle"

So far I was impressed with Trusted Car Buyers. Well, impressed with Dan.

He took all the details about the car and told him the car is in very good condition, the paint has a few marks and scuffs, but nothing a dealer couldn't clear up and having it look like show condition.

"A T-Cut would do it the world of good. I tried that once on a Ford Transit once when I was in my 20's and my arms ached for three days" I said jokingly.

I filled him in on the wear of the body as it was requested. Even though I wear glasses, I'm not blind as a bat and didn't miss much and told them about the scratches going into the boot on the top of the bumper, nothing a good detail-er couldn't sort out.

Dan said he needed to speak with his manager about that and he'd get back to me.

I thought "Here we go..."

Next thing I'm talking to his Manager, Craig. He obviously had a cold of sorts and he admitted to having "Man Flu", I joked how "women don't understand how hard it is for us men and childbirth is nothing compared to MANFLU."

Obviously kidding, as a Man could never handle giving Birth, never mind a little cold, but it made him chuckle and like Dan, he seemed very nice.

In all I spent about an hour chatting with these two, answering all their questions the best I could.

Craig said that they would would be hapy to make a final offer of £3500 for the car. While I was hoping that they would pay more, the words of my wife were ringing in my ears

"Think of all the time and trouble it will save"

All I had to do was drive my wife's car to Easy Car Care in Chepstow and they would take the car and we would get payment. Won't take long and you'll be paid right into your bank account.

I said to Craig "Either you are really good liars or you guys are genuine and you're not going to mess me around." (Yes, say things like that)

"We are not going to mess you around, we are different from the other car buyers. I'll tell you what I will do, if you give me your wife's bank details, I will send you £100 now as a good faith gesture, to show that we do want to buy the car and email a letter to say we promise to give you £3500 for it."

"Go on then" I replied.

"Look out for the email I will send you"

Soon after speaking with them I got another call from Dan.

"We need the information you gave us again. Craig closed the window on the computer and it hadn't been saved."

My wife's bank details and everything else needed to be repeated, so that took a while.

"I'm really sorry about this, we are having a few problems today"

Soon after, I got the email with the form we had to both sign.

The Document was on a site called "Hello Sign" and had the bank information missing, but the price was £3400 after the £100 had be sent to the bank "To open the channel"

The document was signed by me and that was that.

Until I looked at my email, just before bed at 11.50pm that evening. It read:

"Christian,

You spoke to Daniel earlier today in regards to buying your car, unfortunately there was an error in the paperwork we sent to you, the bank details were not saved. Could you call us back on 07955263896 so this can be amended and the proforma adjusted and resent. I apologise for this we have had a system error today.

Regards

Jenny

Trusted Car Buyers"

That was sent at 5.51pm

Then another at 6.02pm

------------------------

So much for an early night.

I sent them everything they needed.

The next day we were to drive to Chepstow. My lovely wife had her doubts

"I'm not selling it for any less."
"I can't believe we are going all the way to Chepstow"

My reply

"I can still advertise it, no problem. Or we can get near enough the money now and it's done. It was your idea and they do sound like decent bunch. Dis organised I know. We'll be in and out, no trouble"

I ended up eating my words...

The drive is 25 miles or so from home, 50 mile round trip, two cars = 100 miles driven. I paid for both vehicles over the Severn Toll Bridge, that's me £13 lighter. Plus fuel for both. I thought "Keep her sweet"

Arrived at Easy Car Sales at about 12.50pm

Found the woman in charge. Didn't get her name.

She seemed surprised to see us and then it dawned on her why we were there.

"Let me make a phone call, I need to know what information they have becuase they've sent us nothing!"

She tells us that Trusted Car Buyers have had System problems (again?) and she needs to ask up all the questions and check all the details again, even the stuff I sent them at twenty past one this morning. So glad I stayed up late.

Then she went to take a look at the car, all around it with a fine tooth comb. "Around it" being the operative word.

Now what she didn't know, and I didn't realise, was that my van has a HD Dashcam. It was recording everything as it was facing the Citroen. The sound is bad, but the video is crystal clear.

So even though we were in the office, I know what went on outside.

See the small mark on the rear passenger arch? Some of it comes off with my finger nail. It's not damage to the car, but a stubborn mark.

This got me wondering...

"Who looks at a car and makes a decision without once looking under the hood?"

She goes around it, looking at the paintwork SO CLOSE, I thought she was going to kiss it. All the time on the phone to someone who must be asking her to:

"Find as much as you can to get the price down"

Every single tiny little mark, scratch and road wear was mentioned. Stuff I couldn't see more than 3 foot away. I had to get on my knee and plant my mug against the car to see what they meant and even then was like "What? Are you serious?"

The video shows her walking around on the phone, checking the car with her built in Cyborg Electron Scanning Microscope, laughing with the guy as they collude.

After her waving her notepad, pacing up and down the forecourt chatting to the guy, she comes in and say's "They'd like to speak with you"

It transpires that everything I told them yesterday was not added to the system as it should have been. Remember, Dan is new and his boss Craig deleted everything and then they lost it all again.

Because the guy I'm onto now, who, if I had spoken to int he first place, I wouldn't have even contemplated selling to them. He says:

"We've found a lot more wrong with the car that you disclosed and we've had to re-calculate the value of the vehicle"

My Blood is starting to boil. I know what is coming. It's just like Jane said. I am going to get an Ear Bashing from my lovely wife, who is after all, right a-bloody-gain.

He started pointing out all the problems that they could find, tiny scratch her, tiny "Bird Lime Mark" (Poo) there. Basically the kind of thing that can be touched up, buffed out, T-Cut or AutoGlymed as I have already pointed out.

"Not on our system, you didn't disclose any of this."

"Yes, I Bloody Well Did. OK, she's spotted a couple of tiny marks I didn't, because I don't carry a microscope with me, but I mentioned everything. All it needs to be in forecourt condition is a half morning, clean, cut, wax and polish. Then buying at £3500 you'd sell it for at least £5k"

"Mr Taylor. With the body work as it is, there is going to be a lot of prep, as such we can offer you £3000"

I stopped him as I said "Bollocks" I knew you would do this. "Who the hell are you paying £500 to do prep work, I'll come and work for you for that money."

I added "Where's Craig, put him on Now please"

Craig comes to the phone. No mention of his man flu and he's not laughing now.

"You said you were different. You said you were not like the other car buying companies and you've gone and done exactly what you said you wouldn't do.
You're making out I've not told you everything and hoping that I'm going to roll over. It's not happening. You have just proved yourself to be the same, which means YOU LIED"

Craig says:
"Look Mr Taylor, I can tell you're upset and I'm willing to overide the system and make a concession for you. Tell me what you think we should be paying you considering the car is in the condition it's in. "

"I want the full asking Price. But you promised the £3500, so we'll take that"

(They didn't ask for Photo's, they didn't even get a Mechanic to check the car. Just the woman with a notepad. And before you say it, yes, she could be a mechanic, but she didn't look under the bonnet or take it for a spin. It's all about the looks and this car looks great. But if you want to NitPick to get a bargain and all you have is light surface marks and a bit of bird shit, you're going to have to do better.)

Craig said "The most we can offer you is £3150."

It's not good enough. You PROMISED £3500. You Promised. You sent a letter for me to sign with the promise on it. (I have now found out that I should have taken a screen shot as the letter was on HelloSign servers and would you believe it, it's gone.)

Look at this...

It was removed. I wonder why they wouldn't want me to retrieve a document that backs me up?

(Oh, I asked Jane to check if the £100 had arrived before we set off. It hadn't. That really should have been a big clue. Yes, I'm an idiot.)

Before hanging up on him he said he could push it up a bit more, I told Jane what he offered and I asked "will you take his final offer of £3300?" and she said

"Tell him to stick it up his ass"

I passed on the message with pleasure.

We left the place without a word. I thought I was in the Doghouse for sure.

By the time we arrived home, I'd decided what I was going to do.

Lucky for them, I waited a day before writing this, or it would have been unsuitable for anyone under 21 to read.

WHY DID I TRUST THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?

"The Online Reviews and Feedback seemed Really Very Good for Trusted Car Buyers."

Yes, I Fell for It.

I am going to have to shed some light on how Feedback Works.

Trusted Car Reviews use Feefo who do a great job of gathering feedback from happy customers. Notice that I say "Happy Customers"

When a company has a Happy Customer, they send them a link to review to review them. The Feefo link goes out, the Happy Customer says nice things, people like me read the nice reviews and think "Cool, good company"

What happens when they KNOW that a customer is Not Happy? Do they send a Feefo Link? Or do they Send their own Feedback link so that the review remains Unpublished?

Go on. Have a Guess...

Did you guess right?

Well, I have sent two emails requesting a Feefo link so that I can leave feedback. Let's see what happens. See the P.S.

Here are their Trusted Car Buyers Feefo Reviews just read the Good Reviews and you'll soon see that some people are just happy to get a bit more than Trade it price. Which is what you would expect. So the happy people and just glad to get shut and some say "Well, it's less than I wanted and we agreed on the price..." or "They knocked off £300 for the cleanliness of the vehicle, but eventually just knocked off £100"

Is it not their JOB to Clean the Car Prior to Selling?

Don't People Get Paid to Clean Cars in Garages?

The Answer is YES.

I Know, I had that job once when I was a kid and I hated it. Shit money, bad chemicals over my dry skin. Horrible. But there are people who do it and they don't get paid £100 to clean a car out. Or in our case, £500, down to £200.

Another thing that springs to mind is that the Buyer of the Vehicle, being the place you take it to gets First Refusal of your Vehicle.

If they like it, they can buy it and must do a deal with Trusted Car Buyers. Maybe pay a commission.

If the Garage you go to does not like it, or want it for whatever reason, then they have had first refusal and declined.

This means that the Positive Reviews you read about the company are about the Garage that got to see a car and get a sweet deal.

If some tired out person comes to me and offers their nice car for a third of what it's worth, I'm going to make them coffee and drive them to the station too.

The Great Reviews are about The Garage they Dealt with. That could be Anybody! It's not about Trusted Car Buyers.

The woman who dealt with us had no interest in us. Originally I thought she was being put upon by TCB. Only watching the video can I see that she had a vested interest in getting the price as low as possible, becuase then she could choose to keep it for herself and sell on.

This is NOT how TCB advertise. They are finding Vehicles to buy for other traders.

If I wanted to get ripped off, I could have gone to any garage with a gormless look on my face and said "I'll take whatever you can give me for this car. While I'm at it, would you like me to bend over for you?"

LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS. Your Feedback, the Real Feedback You Want to Give.

If "Trusted Car Buyers" went by any other name. I may not have been surprised.

My feeling is that the guy Dan, won't want to work there for long, he sounds far too decent. But then, those type are the ones you want to make your company sound respectable. Good luck Dan, you'll need it.

Thanks for reading this. It's taken me hours of writing and I hope you find it useful. If you are from TCB, state your case or do what you do on Feefo and Ignore your customers.

Moov Now Fitness Trainer and Tracker Available for Pre Order

Moov Now Fitness Trainer and Tracker Available for Pre Order

I first saw Moov at the CES in Las Vegas, I was impressed, but doubtful they could be so good. So I waited to see what would happen when they were released into the wild.

The first generation Moov, fitness trainer and tracker had amazing reviews, I just wanted a little bit more functionality, like Sleep monitoring. Now the 2nd gen, Move Now has everything I wanted and more.

As there is a 40% discount on pre-orders, I've ordered two. One for my leg, one for my wrist for amazing accuracy and a 6 month battery life on each charge! Swim proof too. Can't wait till they arrive.

One works just fine, if you just want to keep it simple.

Two of them, plus UK delivery is less than half price of the most popular fitness tracker out there at the moment. They cost me £76 with current rates. I have yet to see what the import charges are, if any.

Possibly 20% import duty, which would make them £45 each for a fitness trainer and tracker that I can use away from my phone, in the pool, on my bike, while running (I'm not a runner), Boxing and other cardio.

£47.50 Admin Fee to Cancel an Admiral Insurance Policy? Outrageous!

2014-04-22T13:51:00.000+00:00

I Called Admiral Car Insurance to Cancel my Car Insurance Policy (As I no longer have the vehicle) and they wanted to charge me a £47.50 Admin fee. I Went Balistic and Told Them I had a Right to Cancel and They We Charging me a Penelty to Excersise my Rights. I Promised I would Never be a Customer of Theirs Again and Blog About it.
"I Want to Speak with the Manager Please"
"He's in a Meeting, He'll Call You Back Soon"
One Hour Later "Hello Mr Taylor, We are happy to tell you that we have waived the Admin fee and Refunded you £25, We hope we can serve you again soon"

Result. Thanks Admiral, think on!

Call of Duty Ghosts - Getting Bored Yet?

2013-11-22T21:04:00.001+00:00

It's hardly been a month and I am afraid to say it, but I will...

"I think I am getting bored of Call of Duty Ghosts"

Sorry, it's true. I know the maps backwards, I'm getting killed like a N00b and have wondered if the game is hacked, or if everyone is just much better than me.
I've been kicking ass in the last two incarnations (as far as I am able) and yet in Ghosts I am at the bottom of the score board Every Flipping Time.

Question is: "Is it just Me?"

I know it's been ages since I posted anything, Sorry Blog.

Lots has happened.

We moved home for one. My Dad came back from South Africa with Cancer of the Larynx and is in hospital now waiting for it to be removed, which is a massive thing to happen to anyone. The consultant tells us that he will be able to talk again, which is amazing without a voice box. As it is, he is without a voice now so the op should not only save his life, but give him back his speech.

Amazing what these Doctors can do, eh.

I've gone Professional again with my entertaining and do Adult shows as Chris Doc Strange the Comedy Stage Hypnotist Bloke in a White Coat at night and Kids parties in the day as Chrisptee Magic Mini Disco.

I'm writing my first book. It's kind of an autobiog/hypnotist memoirs sort of thing.

This post was because I have been promted to connect with Google+ so I have and now I'm doing something else.
Promise to write something soon.

Chris Doc Strange Stand up comedian at the Falcon Inn

2011-12-20T10:53:00.001+00:00

The comedy was hilarious as the audience and Doc hit it off. The first 40 minutes was not recorded, my fault telling Toby to turn his camera off and save the battery for the show proper.

As I was only warming up for myself, I didn't know it would be so funny. Now I've finally realised that I can do great comedy and I don't need to be tied to the hypnotism all the time.
I've a friend who has a comedy club and I think it's about time I started to get myself up there and give them my view of the world.

Not as Doc Strange though, he's the character I created for the hypnotist show, I'll I the comedy as myself, much more honest then. I don't want people thinking that I am hiding behind a stage name, even though when I started in show business, you had to have a stage name I be taken seriously.

I tried the comedy clubs in 2000 and I just didn't have the time or the fuel to keep travelling to London, but now there are some decent comedy clubs outside of the smoke, it's worth getting in and getting my gags dirty.

Stay tuned, from now on I will make sure I I'll record everything. Audio at the very least.

Hope you enjoyed the video, please subscribe I my channel and leave your comments.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Jim Moore - Vaillant ecoMax Seal & Valve Faults - Dangerous Fire Hazard

2011-05-19T10:32:00.001+00:00

Dear Jim,

Our ecoMax set fire to the side of the house, the evening before Good Friday.

We controlled the fire before it reached the gas main..

The fire brigade, the emergency gas man, the fitter, the Vaillant emergency call out man and independent Vaillant experts have all said
"this was a Dangerous fault and have not seen this sort of boiler failure before". Had it happened when we were in bed, we'd be toast"

Vaillant knew it was faulty! yet they relied on the customer to find the fault, at the customers cost, instead of a national recall.
http://www.vaillant.co.uk/installers/Service/service-reminder/

"..Vaillant ecoMAX and ecoTEC boilers produced before April 2006 are at Risk"

"...the silicon seal could degrade over time to the point where heat can escape into the boiler inner casing.

If left for an extended period without attention, this can result in distortion of the burner door and / or plastic components internally within the boiler being damaged through overheating"

Vaillant NEED to dissect this boiler and find out why the Safety Measures Did Not Work.

I contact Vaillant though the normal channels and I am getting nowhere, being fobbed off with the usual script "Did you have it serviced? No, then its your own fault"

Why didn't Vaillant replace our Seals?.

We had enough letters and calls trying to sell us Services plans, not one said "You Must have it serviced because it's faulty and dangerous"

Who knows how many of these are in circulation that have never been serviced and have the potential to do serious damage to both property and indeed life.

We are still without a boiler, we have yet to hear from anyone from Vaillant who is concerned and willing to help us replace it.

I am asking you to help us and help the current owners of the ecoMax who's lives could be in jeopardy.

What Needs to be Done...

# Release a public statement to all owners of this boiler that they Must have the seals replaced ASAP free of charge.

# Vaillant replace our dangerous boiler and arrange immediate fitting.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Valiant EcoMax boiler blew & Set fire.

2011-05-03T09:23:00.001+00:00

Our newish Valliant Boiler blew up the night before good Friday. Flames, fire brigade, emergency gas shut off = no hot water, burnt side of house and us very thankful as things could be much worse.

Now everyone is back to work I have to get someone to admit fault, it's a whodunnit.

Was it Valliant for having a boiler that was known to have dodgy seals from new and didn't tell us that they needed replacing. Or the plumber for moving the boiler and not checking the seals? Or did he and find they were fine? In which case what cased the fire?

I'll be on the phone again for quite a while, I may be gone some time.
