This topic was recently aired on CBC radio daytime.
A phrase that was used by the expert , Phil Edmunston ( a consumer advocate ) was ' condition for service ' - meaning a product has to be useable as expected or advertised. A reaonable length of time for service is also guaranteed on the purchase.
The length of time varies w/ the item.
Obviously , cars formed the bulk of problems b/c of the large capital outlay involved. TG , it wasn't my car being discussed
Imagine burning 3 L of oil in under 2 months or being on the road and filling the oil reservoir at each gas stop.
Weather : glorious / sunny and bright , still cool - very cool last night .. methinks its fall
We watched the ' Kings Speech ' last night on regular TV , I guess thats what you call it , I mean w/ commercials. Excellent film and true , which is always neat
Speaking of commercials , at the movies we got bombarded by every kind of ad - food concession , upcoming TV shows and of course future movie releases.
I'm glad things are working out in Northborough , Mass.
How is our mobility in Norton , OH - should be straightening out by now
As I type , I'm on hold ( running into 15 min, now ). Our Bell bill ( internet , phone and TV ) didn't include all the promo discounts that we were promised. much of the discounts showed up including free long distance , which is good.
On the home front , we are about to lay out some money for upgrades and repairs.
1. New eavestrough on the front ( sagging and useless )
2. Running run - off lines ( 3 " PVC ) under the interlock , the stones will be lifted and reset and or cut and reset
3. The dryer venting will be switched to metal ducts
4. A cracked hall ceiling will be plastered to cover the cracking along the joint lines. In the ' old ' days 1970 ? , the drywall came in 4 x 4 sheets - more sheets , more joints. The contractor admitted that this might not work but he said it was better than re - drywalling due to the mess.
Better start saving the pennies
Have a good'un
