Good for you. I'm sick of this nation purporting to be in Europe and then making up it's own rules as it goes along. Customs being the foulest perpetrator.

Have a read of this link, it might help (I have skim read it ages ago - but know you can screw them in Dublin, or any EU state, should you wish)

Glad I never tried to serve Stansted then - I thought it might fail. Good luck to you and well done - I support thee!

Allbury ceased trading with fewer than 100 customers abroad and about 4,000 forward bookings, most of them placed through travel agents.

This E-Clear business is just getting murkier, IMO. They owed 36m to Flyglobespan who could have survived if it wasn't for them holding on their monies.

E-Clear also handled payments for Zoom and XL, and now they are ALL gone?

Seems like if Globespan had a chance, then E-Clear snuffed it out.

'Surprising tax revenues are not helpful to any business,' he said. 'I don't think there is a person alive who thinks this will help the City.'

He must know just about everything about being unhelpful to businesses, the cheek of these dummy-spitting charlatans.

I really, really enjoyed reading that.

I'm a loner, Lexo! :D

I don't give a stuff who is number one or not, that way I don't spend my money on other people I do not know - that is only the reserve for charity. Cor blimey, I hope none of you spent money to vote on the X Factor, too?!

Scottish travel company Globespan Group, which owns web-based flight and package holiday firm Flyglobespan.com, is in the process of entering administration after failing to secure a last-minute investment package, TTG understands.

 

A source told TTG that papers were in the process of being served to the courts and that a formal statement from Globespan and the CAA would follow.

See XL sticky in holiday forum if affected. Website appears live - I'd avoid for the time being - I think this has been on the cards.

S. V. International Travel Service, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Globespan Group, has also now ceased trading.

BA strike to go ahead - Travel Trade Gazette

Members of the Unite union voted 92.5% in favour of the strike, on an 80% turnout, in a ballot whose results were announced by the union at mass meeting at Sandown Racecourse in Surrey.

 

The first strike is set to take place on December 22 and continue until January 2, meaning 12 days of strikes over the Christmas period. The 12-day period was chosen to "maximise impact".

 

I feel sorry for all those that are going to suffer, and not BA. They splurged millions prior to recent losses, and even asked the staff to work for free.

Bank a little, hey.

Whoops...misread it.

I'm starting to believe you actualy enjoy this sorry-bottomed excuse for a 'celebration'. Admit it wormy, you love it!!

I'm hardcore - no friggin' decorations here.

The current model is seperate to the phone, whereas the new one will be just a phone...just like answerphones used to be seperate.

Hi

 

Thanks for the offer - we've a lot of work to do before we get to the point where we are happy to do public trials, but I'll let you know when we are there.

 

Best regards

 

Steve

Thailand why don't you volunteer to be part of their trials?

I think you missed the last line of my post, wino.

I don't get harrasssed though, of the couple of DCA letters I get, none know my number..shame!

I want one to stop BT, Virgin and the likes to stop godamn fibbing in the future! It's not just DCA's etc, it's the lot of 'em who use the phone thinking they can just say anything to secure a sale and threaten. I've had 5 ISP's since entering the www - and they have all told porkies!

Recording is the next step in beating these cretins up with hard proof - they've all been extracting the urine for too long.

I recently sent an email to Truecall asking when their all-in-one device would launch, as I know it will come one day - and I don't really need one right now, thus I can hold off for a while (I still want one now really!)

Their reply had a one-liner in it that made me grin from ear to ear.

Hello,

I am more than interested in purchasing a Truecall, but will be

holding back until an all-in-one is on the market. Could you give me

any indication as to how long I might be looking at?

Putting the debt collection industry out of its misery can't come

quick enough. Your product is genius, and all manor of companies that

rely on lies are to be whipped and filleted.

Regards

Thanks for your interest, and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

 

I'm afraid that the 'all-in-one' unit is likely to take a year - we are provisionally planning a launch in 2011. We are currently in development, but we will need to run extensive trials before we launch it as a product into the market.

You are right that the debt collectors are extremely persistent, and that trueCall is really effective. One of our customers has used trueCall to stop over 1,000 debt collection calls in just a 3 month period!

Oooohhh, 4,000 a year EACH! What joy..... the DCA's have enough problems without having to worrying about losing their best business model - breaking laws of the land, OFT guidelines, immorality and unethical business practices.

Can't wait until the OFT etc have great swathes of recorded evidence.

Kudos to all of you that have posted up your videos and sound clips of the muppets - I love it. I've offered to help them with their trials!
