Couperman Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Sheila, No I'm afraid not! The assembly went as so...............with Cathy standing by with Didgycam: Step 1: Attach the foot pedals. 'Which footpedals would be those' came the cry from the camera crew 'Nevermind' said the engineering division, 'Just pass me the rest of the fixings' 'Which fixings be those' came the cry from the camera crew. 'Put the Camera down please' came the cry from the engineering division as I realised that Omlet had just won my latest coveted MFI award!! The Camera crew also pointed out that she was an Engineer before me but could see that this was indeed a missing parts issue! She then reverted back to her current job 'Teaching' (it is half term) and informed Omlet that we had only been supplied with 'The Big bits' Omlet Aplogised and promised to send the remainder by return post. So we will see what arrives tomorrow! Hopefully I will be returning spare bits to Omlet. ps MFI would never ever ever get a coveted Omlet customer service award!! Not angry, Just dissapointed, Kev pps; starting new thread: Uk Manufacturers do we have any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 ...Hope it goes better tomorrow!! I can imagine how incredibly frustrating that must have been. At least you tell it with humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 The funny thing was it had tipped it down all day untill the cube arrived then the sun came out!! I wasn't looking forward to building it in the rain!!! It is not a big deal, other people on here have had a worse day than us with poorly Girls and stuff.
