You have a very valid point. How we would co-ordinate for the drivers is a difficult one but should be much less so for the station staff. This will be passed up to the Director responsible. http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1264085399/1#1 Consumer Deals UK Forum/Other companies http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1264085399/1#1 just a quick point to add - if the previous occupant had chosen to have their caller ID withheld by default, when you dial 17070 it will not read the phone number. If this happens, try again with a prefix of 1470 before 17070 - this is the opposite of 141 (ie, it sends your caller ID for that one call). http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1155428418/170#170 Consumer Deals UK Forum/Other companies http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1155428418/170#170 without doubt sgik ltd are the biggest con merchants u will ever come across,total robbing bastards and f**kin useless lieing twats,FACT http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1327786924/1#1 Consumer Deals UK Forum/UK Consumer advice and chat http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1327786924/1#1 How did court go for you? <img src="http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1309649480/1#1 Consumer Deals UK Forum/UK Consumer advice and chat http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1309649480/1#1 I do a lot of my grocery shopping online so I have experience in this.

Unscheduled and unannounced.

We're hoping this is only temporary.<br /><br />Here is a summary of what has changed:<br /><br /><ul><li>Removal of "website" field from user profile</li><li>Increased level of security (IP spoofing, proxy servers)</li><li>New user accounts require admin approval</li><li>No registration from domains that allow creation of free email accounts</li><li>We have removed all accounts where there have been no posts ever made, and there has been no login in the last three years</li><li>Some IP addresses have been blocked, mostly from outside the UK were multiple false accounts have been created</li></ul> <br /><br />We're hoping that most users will not be affected. If you are in any way affected, please either add a comment to this thread, send a Private Message to Admin, or send us a message via "Contact Us" on our main website.<br /><br />Thanks for bearing with us. http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1302804457/13#13 Consumer Deals UK Forum/c2c Rail http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1302804457/13#13 Further changes announced on c2c website:<br /><br />http://www.c2c-online.co.uk/feedback_on_the_timetable_trial_in_august http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1318498655/3#3 Consumer Deals UK Forum/c2c Rail http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1318498655/3#3 Yes, something like that.
