Maybe Grace M would be interested?  ;)

Oh you can be sure she is very interested in our "retreat".  No doubt  she will be there just not in her own skin. Wouldn't it be lovely If HO provided a goody for our bags as a thank you to all of us loyal customers who promote our Themothingys  so successfully on this  popular Forum.  They must  get lots of sales from this site. Be a nice jester or is  that gester?   ;D ;D ;D

Love your wit and sense of humour Gert !

Mmsie......it might be a good idea to remove those details from a public forum.....leaves you wide open for spammers.
Use the PM button under the users name you wish to contact  ;)

Debbie why do you think HO has it in for this forum?  To me it is all about  the machine. We promote it. We conjure  up recipes. We convert. recipes. We gladly share everything.

After all their official forum is not a forum at all and the web site is not user friendly apart from being boring as.   The information there is not always current or accurate.

We have over 7500 members here with the vast majority  being Thermothingy  owners .  We encourage consultants to come here and share their expertise in an open an honest way while HO Au  discourages them from being here and thus preventing them from using this most comprehensive resource.  Also the consultants could give us accurate info on promotions and the like.  Why ever not?

If HO Au has a beef why don't they come  here  and sort it out. Tell us what we are doing wrong so we can fix it. Seems simple to me that being  friendly  and cooperative would be in the best interest of the customers.

And since this is  NOT an Australian forum but an international one why do  we not hear of  other Thermothingy countries banning their consultants from using this forum. Seems we fit nicely with other English speaking  " official" web sites.

And are we not lucky to have Tenina, a former recipe developer  for Vorwerk , here to help us so generously? Lucky for us she decided to  go off on her own and away from HO Au  because no doubt she would not have allowed to be a presence here.  

We are in the fortunate position  of being able to openly support those who support us by buying Tenins's cookbooks and Helene's spatulas and now her wee scrubbies .

Maybe HO Au should delegate one of their staff to openly monitor this forum so they could right any wrong info and provide the latest info.  Would not that be better than using spys to troll these pages and report any perceived criticisms?

For goodness sake we are all adults including Amy. :-))  Well at least these forum members are.

A soonfull of honey.

Honestly, I think they are just very envious of this forum.  I cannot understand either why a business wouldn't use every tool available to them to support and promote their business.  If this forum is where there customers are then this is where they should also be in a positive way ! I for one despise their controlling mentality demonstrated when they banned their consultants from coming here and following Tenina on facebook etc etc. I also struggle to understand why it is that they support such recipe books as In The Mix and yet completely shun Tenina's books. Why ? Tenina is as you say a wonderful generous spirit and I again can't understand why they wouldn't want to support what she's doing when after all she is supporting their product. What I also find difficult to understand is that they didn't invent this wonderful machine ........... they are just the Australian Distributors for it !!

There's an old saying Gert "You attract more flies with honey"and this rings very true in this case ! It will cost them business in the end I think and then they might realise ! Eventually consultants will not tolerate that kind of carry on !

I can't read. I read Gert's statement as three forum members and it says these forum members.
That is what happens when you flick the forum on on the iPad as you go by, instead of sitting down and checking it.
