Why dont you just say its owned by Haymarket Publishing instead of pretending its run by some ultra cool team of people, that are obviously far too hip to be actually named and photographed. Its all to make you think its some kind of entrepreneurial enterprise when really its run by Haymarket and the Heseltines....still think its cool ? Daddio

I'm afraid you're now being childish. Don't get carried away because people supported your argument in the other thread. rolleyes

Whoah there, hoss.

It's never been a secret that Haymarket owns PistonHeads. The people on that page are very hard working employees of Haymarket publishing who were PH'ers before they were employed by Haymarket.

I won't stand for personal insults to the team in this forum. You wouldn't talk to us this way in person so I don't expect it here.

You supported my post (it wasnt an argument) because you new it was correct

Your answer is off topic, did you not go to debating society ?

and finally how can anyone called MagicalTrevor accuse me of being childish !

Why not just close your browser and visit sites that you feel are run more appropriately?

no membership fee has been paid, I am a good customer of Pistonheads having placed several paid adverts

The OP is an observation that I have made, and is open to debate, as are all posts

If it is deemed to be of an inflammatory nature by a moderator then remove it

Well it wasnt clear to me through using your site for the last few years

I didnt accuse the staff of not being hard working did I ?

I made an observation which you can take in a number of ways

Is feedback from a customer not important to you at Pistonheads ?

The giant corporate money making machine that catches the unsuspecting in vicious premium rate phone number scams appears to be quite patient.
Or the mods are asleep.
Or they realise that allowing him to continue whining like a child because he is unable to take responsibility for his own actions, continually arguing a point with no chance of resolution and a blinkered inability to see that he could ever possibly be wrong will eventually lead to him finding a new home in NP&E.

The reason ALXJ is still able to post is to prove that we don't simply ban people that speak negatively, there is a line that is close to being crossed but as yet it hasn't been crossed thumbup

ha ha someone from the debating society has arrived

In response a lot of what you say is correct

except I know I am in the right regarding the phone charges, and until they are compensated I will shout from the rooftops

I wouldnt want anyone else to be scammed...what about you ? Do you care ?

Nope don't really care about your loss, i'm more annoyed by you thinking this is some great conspiracy to rip people off.
When i was looking for cars i saw a "weird looking mobile number" that had an icon next to it saying Phonesafe and not being a fool i thought "phonesafe, i'll just check that" apparently saving myself £60 in the process.

You didn't, lesson learned so suck it up. PH do tell you it's premium rate (but just in small writing quite vaguely) if you miss that then gutted, but you missed it. We can argue semantics about the wording but the warning is there.
However you clearly are not in the mood to man/woman/person the fk up so good luck with trading standards. thumbup

I've met a bunch of the PH staff. They seemed like a good bunch but then again we were all a bit drunk.

You're probably right though, they're owned by Haymarket so they're clearly scum.
