What do you mean Non Approved? Like not part of SSAIB and NSI or just not part of SSAIB.

I am Scottish and Cheeky so you can figure which one you can stuff somewhere

Do they not also Issue on the spot fines. Like you must pay the fine there on then or we will charge you more. Plus they have that whole crazy rule about High-viz jackets and everything.

That be like there Service Level Agreements and Upgrading Stuff and etc?

The land it is on is actully made area a bit better. As all up that way is Retail parks and Houses. Apart from the Houses don't like Amazon being there with Lories and Amazon apparently said 'Tuff, we're amazon'

Yea properly florist puts a business card into the flowers and etc and next time you need flowers you just give them a call. Like I think they really make the money on the customers to upgrade to extra products and services for the Alarm and etc.

I know there a option to pay Extra to get a Same Day Engineer which is like £80 if your at fault. But generally they booking customer appointment a couple days ahead anyway so the computers plan our route well.

I love the TV adverts which have LOADS of small writing at the bottom of them. Like 'Actual Size is 1:500000000 of size' Thats just a service related thing, I do think its nice but at same time cheesy.

Very good point, Like I think they do the maths at looking at how often they breakdown which were at fault. I did once go to a house which customer tried say 'It just stopped working' 'yes, it would if you cut the cable!'

I try find a link but I just wanted to find out roughly why they seem to be so much of a £7.50 alarm is a bad thing. As the Alarm like £120 but I think most customers go for upgrades and etc.

Ah so ADT are still up there usual tricks.

I got Leaflet from ADT saying £99 Alarm fitted from ADT. That would infer that they would fit alarm for £99. *Cough SCAM* Again I just wanted find out why they seems to so much a bad thing about £7.50 a month alarm. As the alarm is very basic and comes with like 1 PIR and 1 door contact.

Can I ask you guys. Why do you insist on taking the mick out of the £7.50 a month alarm. Whats actully wrong with it? A*T do a £99 alarm which if you spread it over 16months its like £6.19 a month? Which basically all they are doing is a finance offer with the customer to spread the cost. They do Finance Offers with a lot customers as you may know that a £300+ alarm can be expensive but spreading that over 12/14/16/24 months can then seem more flexible and might mean you actully secure your property.

Salary is not always enough to live on. What I am trying to say is, Charge to make sure you cover your basics and extra to then grow.

They already said that Scotland would look at reducing Corp Tax and Vat rate to be more in line with European and Norway and etc.

They have always said that if we get independence it will not be a overnight thing as there loads things which need set up and sorted. They said it would be a 10 year plan before everything is independent. I sure most them view it as normal as we got Amazon up here and quite a few E-Commerance companies up here including a Sh*t huge Tesco Distribution Centre which covers like from Manchester to Highlands and Islands. Well the did admit that they have nowhere to put the Navy Subs down south as they don't have any free docks.

They did say that it would be a process which would then merge over onto a Scottish Company, May it be Public or Private or Public/Private

Plus my best tip is like everyone said is GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING + Your price is what you can live on. No Point working when you can't even feed yourself or pay mortgage. I know a sparky who charges a high Daily rate but he always busy and always got new vans and etc but he wants to charge higher so he can live a higher life. If that make sense.

I don't think it is, As I seen Big Companies using Local Number in marketing stuff. A*T does it on their Door to Door Leaflets saying your Local Branch is 01XXX and it really goes to there National Call Centre. They were saying Scotland would keep BT & Openreach due to its investment they said.

No, Not what I was trying say. Like for example if you claimed your office was in Glasgow, I would expect a 0141 number and which you can get a geo number and be anywhere in the world now a days. Our company has 03, 0800, Landline numbers but I would not say were a 'Cheap Alarm' company, But we just want provide a good service which if your giving a good service then your customers are happy. Have you never tried using a Local Rate Number and see if you notice any difference?

Yea but if you think about all the extra work we get like Locksmiths, Key Cutting, CCTV install, Alarm & Fire Install and Maintenance, Emergency Property Boarding (They metal sheets gets put on empty or evicted properties + all the SIA stuff they do. Soon the £7.50 alarm is really just a small thing.

But if you times that by 10,000 that still a lot £7.50s eh?

depends what part of scotland you were in.

It does get talked about between folk but its really not as a big thing,

However if i was paying you money I expect to be paying least a local rate number for any service.
