    Posted By: bloodymediaSee, Drakkenmensch, your argument is invalid because tinker knows a city where it takes 3 murders to get an extra street light.
    Yes, and dammit, now tinky has to hang out on another corner.

    Posted By: CrastneyI think what's more likely is that you'll get a polite response saying that 'someone else has already brought this to their attention' and that 'wey're looking into it', or alternatively, that '..there's nothing illegal'/'there's nothing we can do'

    feel free to harrass some poor office worker though, I'm sure they haven't got better things to be doing with their time!

    Fuck off Crastny... THAT IS WOT THEIR JOB IS... fucking halfwit....

    And Tinker... Dublin is not the Bronx.. Not even Birmingham or Liverpool for that matter, and an advertising standards agency is not the Police.. its an agency in charge of upholding good standards in advertising.. Jesus fucking wept.. even 007 could probably get his head around this!!!!

    @ joshs. Whatever you see as wrong of course. You put plenty of words into my mouth, but I am not going to return the courtesy. Tinker

    Loonyman. I never suggested Dublin was the Bronx. I understand exactly what ASA's are all about. Go for it. Tinker.

    People who work for the Advertising Standards Authority, a body that is set up to purely deal with complaints about false advertising, has better things do with it's time than investigate a complaint of false advertising??

    What do you think they should be doing with their time you retard?

    Thank you joshs. Your eloquence -as ever- speaks volumes about your personality. Go pick on someone your own size- if you can find somebody that small. Tinker

    You can bet the lads are fully lawyered up, and probably know the requirements to stay within the strict limits of the advertising law. I think this explains a lot of their behaviour. They haven't actually advertised anything for sale except the test platform, the Hall effect probe, and the memberships in their secret society. I don't know if they have actually sold or even really advertised for sale their "technology license", but if they did, there's nothing there that says they have to provide you with any technology. The terms clearly say that you, the licensee, are supposed to develop the technology.

    You might be able to get them for advertising for sale something that they don't actually have for sale, in that measurement platform. I don't think anyone's ever seen one of those in real life. There certainly wasn't one at the Waterways demo, now was there.

    Of course they could give you a fish today and satisfy your hunger but better to teach you how to fish so you never go hungry again.

    An advertisement -in the UK at least - is only what a lawyer calls 'an offer to treat'. The existence,or non-existence of any goods offered is not a matter for the law -unless you take money based on it - and do not then deliver the goods. An advertisment does not of itself constitute a contract of sale. Tinker
