Your window to Justice

Happy Birthday Karol by way! We couldn't make her meal in swanky London town on Saturday with Kerry still suffering but hear that Karol herself had succumb to the same belly troubles. Hope you're better sis-in-law.

Watched some frogs get frisky with each other on Sunday as we walked round Stanmer Park (as pictured) trying out my new wide-angle lens.

Double-crossing salesman
Last night we were subjected to a sales pitch for some double-glazing. "You buy one ye get one free" as the annoying baldy Northerner says from SafeStyle who got in there first. With Kerry's sales training experience and my own marketing background it was almost embarrassing and was amazed that the same shitty, shifty sales tactics are still being used but dressed up for the 21st century. All we wanted was a quote for a kitchen window and it took 100 minutes. The salesman mentioned we could get a discount for using our window as a website case study then rang the 'marketing' department (just some worthless call centre pleb) to ask what special discount they could do for just us being in the special promotions area - lucky us! Kerry could actually hear the conversation and it was almost a pretend conversation. Later, when we started pressuring him on the price he called them again and used them like an actor has a stage prompt with script. In the end we were thinking about some french doors anyway so gave them the incentive to get a deal. Of course all this just puts you off getting another quote from somewhere else but the quality of the windows were good enough so we'll just negotiate a good price instead.

If you purchase from this company, you will just encourage them to continue using these type of crappy sales techniques in the future. You'd be better off getting a nice local company in who will offer you a better quote, far better product, and better service.
