Wow ... Only came on to check the M'cr thread and made the mistake of reading this one. I stopped posting a month or so ago because the bullying on another thread put me right off CAG. And after reading the above posts realise I did the right thing. What happened to mutual respect and helping each other? It seems that if you disagree with site team/ex site team members, then you are automatically accused of being MTM or speaking for him? Why the obsession with him? He hasn't even been on since last year. I hope whoever is in charge of site team reads the above and considers whether they really want site team members making those type of comments. Surely they should be leading by example? Just my opinion .... it will no doubt give the bullies someone new to have a go at! Feel free, I won't be reading it again. Jan

Great Hunni. see you later ... and everyone else! Jan

Hi all Thread has moved on! Great that so many are coming and look forward to meeting everyone. Can't wear my red hat so people will recognise us as I think I lost it .. got a dark blue one though. So just watch out for that - it may be on the table rather than my head..

'course boys are allowed ..... we promise to be gentle with you

Great to hear from you and hope you can make it Good luck on the 10th Jan

mmmm - can tell its going to be one of those meets

But has anyone any idea how much it's gonna cost me on the train from Leeds to Manchester pleeeeese........:confuse d: About £17ish return I think. Go to Piccadilly - takes about an hour. Victoria trains take twice as long. Do you know Manchester? Or do you need meeting at train station? Jan

lots to celebrate already! I will be there - paaaaaaaarty time

Well Done Spammie and everyone who helped you. Really pleased for you. Great that MilkTrayMan came with you, nice to hear he's still fighting the fight .... and winning

Paaaaaaaaaaaaarty time ... lots vodka. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jan x

Only just seen this ... Very best wishes Jan

I do not need anyone to break confidentiality as I am aware of exactly what happened. As the moderator involved apologised to me around 2 months ago I fail to see why MTM is still being moderated. After all, don't CAG encourage us to look out for the underdog which is all MTM was doing? Maybe in his own distinctive manner (hence the moderation!) but for this long??? It is beginning to look like a vendetta to me. It has gone on way too long to look like anything else.

I'm really pleased she has improved Mazbck

That always cheers me up. Mine not showing yet though...

I am confused .......... threads have majicked together

Happy Birthday MTM - Have a good day How old?? Thanks for all the help. Hope to see you again at a meet soon. Jan xxx

Hi I am really pleased for you Please still consider sending complaint to FSA - is the only way to stop them doing same thing to other people. Sorry can't help on way forward with other companies - but wouldn't think it would effect you. Hopefully insurarance experts will comment. Jan

I like mine at the moment cos I haven't got one! Seriously, I've been temping and like that because you don't get too involved with office politics and the bitchiness etc. You don't feel as trapped either 'cos it's not forever. I go back to temping every few years when I get bored with a job (although this time round it's 'cos I was made redundant). It's good to be able to try a firm out before you accept a perm job.

So that's how they keep their waiting lists down! It is a complete disgrace and I hope you will do what others suggested and complain, contact the local press and your MP. He must have been in agony. Jan

I think I'd write back and remind them that you informed them of the change of address on x date as well as advise them head office is dealing and keep copy. It won't do any good - they'll still chase you for canx fee but the more ammunition you have of their inefficiency in writing the better for when/if it gets to FOS/FSA. Jan

Hi Oilyrag Thanks for warning. I did look it up on BUPA factsheets first and noticed it is known to cause heart problems. I am sorry you were affected by it. I will stop taking it now as my shoulder is easing, I only took it for 5 days. My dad takes it for gout but usually only for 2 days every couple of months or so. Were you taking it for a long time? Jan

Thanks Nightowl. I have had phases of migraines so am used to buying the over the counter painkillers and I know the cheap ones are just the same ingredients. Price difference is unbelievable! I just hadn't come across Diclofenic before - it's done the trick anyway, shoulder pain is easing and I managed to wash my hair for the first time in 6 days today. Just need to get my sleep patterns back to normal now. Jan

Hi Do you mean Nurofen make diclofenic? Must be what the "fen" means! I know I shoud go docs and I will on Monday, I really couldn't go sooner though as I was in agony and couldn't get dressed. Jan

I don't know. I think the best plan might be to send PPI reclaim letter off to bank and then wait and see what they come back with. It should say something like "your monthy PPI premium including stat interest is £X" "you made Xamount payments of this amount" and "8% interest on this amount = £x". They work it out for you. Jan

Have you had it about a week now? If I take two difolenic it eases it but one doesn't do much. Sounds like I have got same as you. My dad has difloenic for gout - came in handy! Jan
