Since the last post - I temporarily removed this blog's posts. My main reason was as follows:
I had just watched a film called Meet the Robinson's
- SPOILER ALERT - DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW A PLOT SPOILER
IN the film was a rather sad little boy who turned out to be the film baddie because he hadn't been treated kindly as a kid. The hero went back in time and changed one action and the little boy then grew up to be a goodie.
END OF SPOILER
I enjoyed that film and it made me wonder whether Powercats Ltd were behaving so strangely because they were under too much pressure. So I decided to take the blog down to give them some breathing space. I know its a dizzy reason but sometimes feelgood movies get under my skin and it was worth a try.
But they contacted us with a letter which had changed the goal posts from the tentative proposal we had provisionally agreed to.
If you remember we made them an offer - they came back with Yes but can we have X Y and Z and we said provisionally yes. Then they said can we have that in writing(after the deadline), so we put it in writing and then they responded (after the new deadline) arguing with the actual conditions they had asked us to add into the proposal!!!
Oh and get this now it was wrapped up with a threat of them taking us to court because of this blog!!!
So we gave them one last chance. the dead line for that chance expired yesterday at 4. They asked for more time - AGAIN - until 4pm today - guess what - no deal has been agreed.
The papers are now being finalised and we are going to court.
We have had our response from the Freedom of Information Request from Cornwall County Council regarding Powercats and Cornwall Trading Standards - and it has been very informative and helpful.
We are not allowed to publish the responses as it is part of the terms of them answering these questions that we do not do so. However tomorrow I will publish the questions and anyone can ask the County Council the same questions via the FOI act and as long as you ask for the response via electronic methods then you shouldn't be charged anything.
But I want to make one thing very very clear. The truth is important to me. It is the one thing that I base my life on. It is my bedrock. It is what keeps my world in equilibrium. Whatever else anyone can accuse me of, there is no-one on this planet who can state that I am a liar without themselves being guilty of what they accuse me.
There is no amount of money in the world that would compensate me to the extent that I would be prepared to change on that stance.
My honesty is not for sale. It is who I am and without it I would have nothing worth anything to me.
There are those who appear to think that I and my husband would be prepared to sign a document for money stating something that we do not believe.
To them I say - think again.
