    Isn't this just dreadful....I don't know what to say, one hears about this sort of thing on consumer advice programmes, but you never think it's going to happen to you, or to anyone you know....what did they do, take the money and run?
    It's so awful that they exploit people's quite natural desire to give their kids a bit of a treat at Xmas... [​IMG]
    I hope you manage to have a good time somehow! [​IMG]

    Good to hear that Christmas has in part been restored and that the spirit of it is not dead. Good on you for accepting, what nice people.

    Sorry to hear this Windy.

    Did a little 'Google' on "William Rollason" farepak , surprising what other interests he has ... another being Kleeneze, so do not contribute to his pocket by shopping with them.

    If you copy "William Rollason" farepak and paste into the Google search bar, you will see what I mean.

    ...and it gets worse....

    Non executive director means he doesn't do any work - he just takes the money.

    Kleeneze - next time I get one put through my door, I'll put a note in asking not to be bothered by them again, and tell them exactly why.

    Trouble about going anti-kleeneze is that the people who'll get hit by your action are the little people who run the catalogue as agents - NOT Mr R. While I agree with the the feeling that suggests doing this - I don't think it would be fair to do it.
    Sorry.... [​IMG]

    Had a good read of that link, thanx Webmaster ;)

    Looking at it, it turns out that my ex's employers, Amtrak have got the distribution contract for all the Kleeneze stuff :mad: I better tell him not to rely on the overtime :( [​IMG]

    I left a v.polite answerfone message on that number that BM posted.
    Cordially inviting him for Xmas dinner of sausage and chips, and while he's here he can explain to my children why he stole their Xmas.
    I left my number in case he wanted to get back to me :D :D
    Took all my self control not to lose my temper but God, it felt good!!!!

    By buying goods from kleeneze it means you are still putting money into the pocket of the the culprit as no doubt he has covered his tracks well..those that want to go trailing round doors selling overpriced cleaning goods and working for a LEGALISED ROBBER as thats what he is well they can search their own conscience..perhaps they could buy his tacky cleaning stuff..
    Last night their was a little girl on my local news with less than a year to live her parents looked as poor as church mice and they had saved �£900 to give this ill child one last xmas..All year long they had paid in whatever they could afford going without..and the fat cat who has taken her hard earned money wont even loose a nights sleep as those sort of people dont ..they just dust themselves down and inflict misery elsewhere..
    their wont be any kleeneze on this property as i will tell them to sling their hook and their tacky wares !!
