The Barn No Thanks Give me The Lemon Tree

I did not enjoy my last meal at The Barn Brasserie in Great Tey Essex.

For me to go out with my friends and have a relaxing and entertaining evening I need to be in a warm and friendly environment, one that has no stress and tension. My last meal at the barn with my fellow director was far from enjoyable.

The staff seemed tense and there were raised voices at times, nervous waitresses made mistakes with orders and people had cold food arriving as well. Our own meals were haphazard with Tina getting the wrong starter and my main course under cooked, the restaurant manager Chris Corke did little to inspire a good atmosphere.

Mesh Computers – Terrible Experience – Choose Dell

Mesh Computers- What A Terrible Experience

Well in my continued verbal blast against Rip-Off Britain I am today sounding off against Mesh Computers.

My experience makes me believe that I and many other consumers are being used as an overdraft facility or working capital by Mesh Computers.

The story so far….

I placed an order for 3 desktop computers from Mesh at the start of December and well before Christmas as presents for my children, the cost was £800 per machine and was paid in full. As the days went by the fourteen day delivery slot came and went, at 21 days I started to contact Mesh who simply stonewalled me and just promised to look into it then call me back.

Health On Line – Health Insurance

Health Insurance -  Should you or Shouldn’t you?

Of all the insurance policies I have taken out over the years this has to be the best decision I made.

My recent treatement would of cost me thousands of pounds if it was not for my Health Insurance from Health On Line, even worse I may have been at the mercy of the NHS which for me would of been a death sentence. Before you go accusing me of being dramatic about the NHS then think about this.

Tim Newcomb

After getting no satisfaction from my efforts regarding my daughter and her case I have decided to make the complaints against Essex police and also Tim Newcomb the police chief.

I have been informed that in respect of the complaint against Tim Newcomb that Essex police will in effect be investigating themselves as the IPCC will not initiate an investigation at that level. Whilst this marginalises any possibility to make progress or a fair judgement I will continue for my own peace of mind.

Barn Brasserie – Chris Corke is no Manager

When is a business a truly great business?

The Barn Brasserie in Great Tey, Essex has upset me only second to Essex Police in 2009, the way they treat their staff at this restaurant is really set in the dark ages.

Being a successful owner is more than just wrangling out profits, in a true entreprenerial business esteem is attributed to actually providing a healthy working environment where employees love to come and strive, where they feel part of the business, where they hold their peers in high regard.
