"STILL WATERS RUN DEEP"

Between about the 11th April 2015-14th April 2015 we were probable the most HATE people on the cut and the most talked about after I posted a phone conversation on my You Tube count between Mr Alan Baxter and a member of the Canal and River Trust.

Some of the comment that we revived were unbelievable and the post finally was take down by "Narrowboat Users Group" after being posted by Mr N Brown Founder, Legal Officer, Secretary at the National Bargee Travelers Association.

•  Stunning. The level of communication from someone perporting to be a 'professional' beggars belief. There's a training opportunity waiting for someone to suggest how to hold a customer service call with customers. This is a fine example of what NOT to do.

  •  Why did it take 5 months to fix it? What was wrong? I can't see this as a win myself and bandying "I just bullied a crap enforcement officer" around ain't going to play well with the opposition

  • there was no foul ball played in the conversation i heard,just like a football or netball or any match the opposition are there to be beaten,and the person in question was making a call just to introduce himself(apparently)well after 2 minutes his attitude changed,like the man said(seeing as he called on a mobile phone so call wasnt recorded)well hey ho it was,and will never stand up in a court of law

  •  No the opposition are not there to be beaten in this situation; they are there to be negotiated with and Mr Garner was trying; albiet wimpishly, to do exactly that. He got bullied and in other corners of FB the CC haters are having a ball. Epic Win... Not!
