Sniff, sniff - the smell is getting stonger - innit??

By the way I use McDonalds most days and you get what you pay for there - never had a reason to complain yet! No doubt some people do and they may well work for Burger King!

Well done Lee for sticking up for UKSM - ONE satisfied customer out of 51,000?? If my maths are correct that is 0.0000196% satisfied customers!

I stayed at a B&B the other day and saw some of their labels on a few appliances, just green stickers wrapped around the power cords with just a simple "PASS" on the label and the next due test date - NO appliance ID number so quite how the report matches the appliances I really don't know! Perhaps Lee can enlighten us on how the system works?

By the way Rockingit your maths are wrong - You are assuming that 95 engineers are working 47 weeks of the year - EVERY DAY!
Without any sicknesses or absent from work? I only have 20 people working at our place and there is very rarely 100% attendance every week.

If you do assume that all 95 engineers work 5 days a week for 47 weeks of the year and still generate £13k per day - then that is actually just 235 days which equals £3,055,000 - if you then divide that figure by the total staff of 295 (include the office bods) then the avaerage yearly pay per employee is £10,356 - but, no doubt Lee could enlighten us both on where we are getting our figures wrong!
 
Obviously Lee is an easily satisfied "model" customer happy that all his appliances got stickers

He hasn't realised that the job has not been properly done

I don't know where he found the time to post on here if he is as busy as he says

Getting a bit whiffy in here isn't it
 
Be interested to know how many appliances Lee had tested and how long the "engineer" was at the premises.

Did they charge extra for socket testing - which was not originally quoted for Lee??

How about microwave leak testing at £8 plus VAT a throw for less than 30 seconds work?

Rotten eggs anyone???
 
Lee - I own and run a very succesful enterprise, thank you. It's because of this that an Engineer works 47 weeks a year due to annual leave and bank holidays, but you don't let all your staff have a break at the same time - and as we all know, when one guy is off, the others just have to work harder to make up for it. So, for the purpose of very rough guestimation, I think my formula holds ups. thanks all the same. And I was working ex vat, of course.

But it doesn't really matter, as I think the whole thing is BS anyway; I was just actually being fair to the claim of 51,000 customers. But anyone can have 51,000 customers if you want to sell something that (should) cost you 50p to buy for 2p. Maybe that's why you went bust the first time?
 
It does not matter what you say at the end of the day i have not had a message with a phone number to call to put rockingit right.

1.6 million out is very rough!

At the end of the day you are all too happy to write your thoughts. at the end of the day when the the dogs hit the road the view only changes for the lead dog....so as i have said previous, if you dont like it sell up..... And as for assuming i have anything to do with UK safety, do me a favour, get a life.
