In a few months time I shall be ordering a made to measure Conservatory to
fit on the back of the house.
Anticipating that the manufacturers will require a deposit to safeguard
their manufacturing costs, how do I save my deposit if the company goes into
liquidation, I feel that the likelihood is high in the present financial
climate.
I've heard of bonded contracts, has anyone any experience of this type of
protection.
Could I do it through my bank? would a bog standard bank manager be aware of
this procedure.
Any (relevant) suggestions gratefully received.

Don

I should try asking on uk.legal.moderated: I'm sure you'd get some useful
replies there. Such as, say, using a crdit card.

I had a conservatory erected last year and a selling point of the company
was that no money was required until completion.

irrelevant.Maybe my ISP or news reader isn't working properly?

Why don't you pay all or part of the deposit with a credit card as we
have already suggested to you?

I can sympathise with what this Footnote says but the format of that
website is not the way to solve the problem. It is far to aggressive,
both technically and personally, towards the people that it wants to
convert away from Google groups.

I am technically competent as far as the PC is concerned and I've
tried a couple of times to use other applications for using the groups
that Google present to me, but for one reason or another I've found
that I'm familiar with the Groups structure and I cannot get on terms
with the format otherwise presented.

If you want to get involved with a website which has the aim of making
life easier for all, then it needs to be far more user friendly and
more supportive of those that are not familiar with all the terms that
the site authors are using. It also needs to link to tutorials in how
to set up these alternative applications that it enthuses about.

As we're veering in an off-topic direction, I've used usenet for years
(since 1994 in fact, I used to use some software called Pine back then
as I recall). I've used all sorts of newsreaders over the years, and I
am now an avowed Google Groups user. If some people can't see my posts
through choice I don't mind, I'm sure I miss many that are much more
useful than mine anyway.

Cheers!

I hadn't looked at that web site for a while and you're absolutely
right. It is very negative now, but it was not always so. I will be
removing it from my sig.

I am the opposite in that I find a offline newsreader much easier to
use. I have used google groups and find it a pain. It is hard to
quote properly and almost impossible to customize. But then I have
been using usenet since way before the web existed.

There are still tutorials and guides there but the front page would
probably put most people off from looking further.
