Experience Says It All

Good Deal Bad Deal - Tales of Woe - Some Good Things

A very old maxim "wisdom is useless in the hands of the young, and too late to be useful to the old" - or words to that effect.  If this be true, and the old boys in Rome and Greece knew their stuff - then let's get on with it.

experientia docet stultos: Experience teaches even fools

If this be true then let's get on with it. Join the parade. Try to change the worst of it with good deal bad deal. Let's try to eliminate the time wasting. Isn't it better to have a recommendation from a trusted ally. Isn't it better to be warned of some of the many pitfalls?

Use this site, good deals bad deals, as a catalogue of dirty tricks some play on fellow humans. Use it also as a source of good advice. Hear and see the good deals and bad deals as they come along. We all can help to turn it around. It's not done for any other reason than that the lessons should be there for the young (and older) cronies to see. Avoid becoming victims, avoid being another conned-man or conned-woman.

The compulsion to create this site was to publicly name a supposedly superior company as the really shoddy everything about them to be that they are.

Then dawned the realisation that there were more stories to tell. Tales of wicked and dishonest customers, some bloodcurdling practices on display. More of that later.

Whatever your reasoning, good deal bad deal is a serious attempt to reverse the imbalance resulting from some previous ghastly attempts to 'protect the public'.

This the beginning of some analysis for answering the who, what, how, where, when and why. That's our story and we're sticking to it.

If it hurts some feelings I for one will not be disturbed.

You have a tale to tell? Please send it by e-mail initially, whether as a customer of supplier, goods or services. It cuts both ways. Good deal bad deal.

Of course it could be fun. That's the plan.

PS I was one of the best at making mistakes - not seeking advice from those ahead of me and listening to some wrong (expert) advice which I sometimes did.

I'll tell you about it sometime. But don't you agree? The time for pussyfooting around is over.
