Perhaps all I need to say to brothers Nigel and Nicholas Roberston (Directors) is what goes around comes around! It couldn't possibly have happened to two nicer people. Remember Ronani Ltd 2002 - serves you right! |

Needless to say they trampled all over me. I lost my house, my business, most of my so-called friends and my Patented invention. They have got exactly what they deserve in my opinion and now I know, there really is a God! |

Goes for any shopping..I'll look but this is the only way I'll buy anything is to call them direct...get an confirmation purchase order number. Send them cash perferably through an certified check....particularly on small items. It saves me an lot of hassels in my busy life to do things like this. I started doing this when I couldn't talk directly to an customer representative...and got bounced around in the world trying to nail down someone to help me...most often taking days and hours out of my time. First thing I ask anyone is..Where are you calling from right now..how's your weather?..and they ususally tell me. As for larger purchases, my banker knows me first hand, the minute I walk through the door...he knows my personnel banking "style" also. There are to many same named people in the world as we are not to do it any other way. There are no less then five people in this area with the same name as is my hubby. Mnay of my credit cards because of them simply are not "Oregon"....coded to keep us separate...makes our paperwork "specially" noticed. I've learned form the past that sucees is often difined by what another can get away with underhandedly. somethings I've had pulled of on me, or know about...(1) Faking success....that's when you turn your company over to "employee profit sharing" so it's stock goes up overnight, right before you sell it for an hefty price...(2) ..cutting down others hours the month before an business goes under, that way if you pick up their hours, as was done on me and unemployment benefits are based on hours worked, they've been working time plus half weekly, they get pro-rated for an hefty unemployment check..while you get nothing for the wee hours they you gave to work...in short they stay home pikcing up full wages...Oh yes Ron, I've learned how shaded the world is out there..these are barely the "tip of the hat" to the underhandedness of life these days in the work field. One reason it's all but "tanking" these days as it all catches up with everyone. (3) finally... being called in to re-design your department,with plans to put it in all new the way you think is most work effective and efficient ..and then finding out they took those plans and rebuilt an new facilty instead , and your deparment is going to get none of it..though your employees paid for it times over with "cut-backs' in their working benefits. Oh, yea..know all about what your saying here...look how many people now have hardly to none....or "no"pension plans. Social Security doesn't begin to cover the prices of today's needs...but even at that, remember when "Bush" wanted some years back to dissolve Social Security by putting it into Stocks and bond investments..if he'd been allowed, where would we be now...we are headed there nearly as it is from all the "lies"... unless it stops. Stock market was it lowest yet as of an day ago...it can't get much lower without "tanking" completely. AIG took an 67 Billion dollar lost its first quarter...and wants more Govt.money..everyone wants more money they never really had to begin with these days it seems. |
