Within an hour of doing so I received an apology from a major company.

Send out a tweet about how unhappy you are with a particular product or company, and your problem gets solved pretty quickly. <br /><br />My son could identify makes and models of cars at a very young age, whereas I can never recognize my own vehicle in a parking lot.besomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626482527317809210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-35080420533615394012013-08-31T19:28:40.066+01:002013-08-31T19:28:40.066+01:00Triumph.

I usually write "if I don't hear from you within 7 days I will be going to Consumers Affairs/Current Affair/60 Minutes" or whatever else I can think of at the time. That usually elicits a prompt response.<br />I smiled at your remarks about identifying your car by reading the back, and being able to tell a red car from a black one! Ken still tells people about me choosing my cars because they were blue. Well, what other reason is there?Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-80526506125183229912013-08-31T09:04:32.350+01:002013-08-31T09:04:32.350+01:00Have you read the latest Isabel Dalhousie novel, T...Have you read the latest Isabel Dalhousie novel, The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds, in which little Charlie, a year older than your grandson, asks surprising questions and shows a facility for maths?
