It's like the dreaded words 'new and improved recipie' on one of your
regular groceries,


Agreed, lates one Cauldron Foods Lincolnshire or Cumberland sausages.
Now rubbery and rather too herby in flavour.

The packaging states: "We'd love to know what you think...
addressphone no. or visit our website www.cauldronfoods.co.uk. I
can't find anywhere on the saite that allows you to let them "know
what you think".


Another "first" is http://lilleytileandstone.co.uk/

I've recommended them here before as good Mapei suppliers, but since earlier
this year, they "improved" their website, meaning:

a) The main thing has been done in Flash (FFS, I thought people had got over
that nonsense - and don't they realise that Google can't find *anything*
anymore?)

b) Their Online shop that used to work perfectly well is broken and non
functional, despite me emailing them about it on 17th April.

What possesses people to take down a website in order to develop a new one
in place? Where do they get their cretinous web developers who can't develop
offline and then to top it off, can't finish the job?

Utter utter cretinism.

Since then, they've lost my business to Tile Giant who can get all things
Mapei and I can go and collect...
