Alex,
just why are you protecting diplomat and allowing them full access to this forum to tell lies untruths ?



Geoff I know who I am working for and have no reason to lie! :P

Now, your statement "allowing them full access to this forum to tell lies" is a libellous accusation in my book.

So now I demand an apology.

I feel an edit coming on.

Yorkie I think you have done the Diplomat bit to its limit and past it.

What we have managed to ascertain is it a a company given a new personna after being called Ace Communications (mind you such a naff name needed changing) and since then it is a long way behind with posting its first accounts as Diplomat (9 months next week).

Now we are all free to make our own judgements. You have made yours, Andy7 has made his and I guees I have made mine.

Lets give it a break now.

Mr Yorkie, I don't think I'm protecting anyone.

I believe you have got your views on Diplomat, across many times.

However when posters keep posting anon, those at the other end of the criticism haven't got a clue who has criticized them. Therefore they can't really defend themselves, if they haven't got the full picture.

Saying this person or that person is at it, isn't really fair, unless you come up with concrete evidence.

Just posting a six word message saying 'don't trust them their at it', gets us nowhere.

Andy7, is trying out the system, if he comes back and says that system is crap, then that will stay on the site, as it will if he says it great.

I can understand your frustration, but why not put on a sandwich board and walk up and down their stand at the next taxi show. :wink:

Alex

If Geoff could be so kind as to provide us with some body measurements, we could make up a troll outfit for him. :P

Well high and mighty from the Dip2.

Why don't you tell us when your accounts are going to be registered with Companies House?

Then we will be able to make our own assessment about Yorkie's comments.

Sorry Guys I am back.
I just rattled through the many posts on this forum.
Some constructive, some totally childish.
It does however sound like you were missing me.
Sorry for those who thought I was avoiding you, our forum is a tad more busy than this one at the moment and as you all know the customers come first.

Just to kill the speculation once and for all here are all the companies that I have been and still am involved with.

ACE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS LIMITED 3238831 16/08/1996 - current
Supplier and manufaturer of two way radio systems throughout the UK and Ireland.
This is still called the same name and is trading very well...

MASTCOM LIMITED 03254403 25/09/1996
Owner and landlord of communications towers and cellular masts throughout the UK
Theres a new one for you to gossip about

DIPLOMAT UK LIMITED 03530455 19/03/1998 – now ceased
Failed partnership venture with other software vendors
But I guess you all know about that one

Windowview Ltd 03909903 19/01/2000 - current
Owner and developer of Midas, Diplomat Navigator and associated software programs.
You should buy shares in this one

Diplomat Data systems Ltd. 04289594 18/09/2001 - current
Manufacturer and distributor of Mobile data terminals and hardware.
The one some of you love to hate.
Sorry if it offends some of you but it is doing very well. I beleive Navigator now has more end users than any other booking and despatch package in the UK.

As far as when we file our accounts at companies house!!
I cannot even answer this question. This is entirely down to our accountants. However if you check out similar competitor companies you will find their accounts are outstanding for a similar amount of time. I think this is quite normal so nothing to get too stressed about.

So there you have it..
Sorry for the delay.
I must go and stuff more CDs in envelopes.

I notice that there are a few users of Navlite registered on this forum but I guess they are scared that the resident troll will attack them if they have anything good to say about it.

If you have any more questions please feel free to email me.
I cant keep reading this thread because it is now getting far too long just to have a quick nosey at.

I do hope no one is suggesting that my postings on the subject of Navigator are biased in Diplomat's favour by my having any connection with them. I am trying to be factual with my statements, and give an honest opinion and appraisal of the product from the point of view of a small operator.

Of the people, I can only say that to me, all of the Diplomat people I have spoken to, have all been very helpfull without exception.

If I was of the mind to, I suppose I could give my history of all the other suppliers I have had contact with, in an equally honest manner. But, as I am afraid it would be quite derogatory in some respects, I will refrain to going into too much detail about lying salesmen, and seven month waiting periods to even get replies to initial enquiries. I could say that two suppliers told me that I was "too small" one supplier was trying to sell me a system that only accounted in US dollars, while three suppliers have not even bothered to reply to my initial enquiries, other than giving me mobile phone numbers to call, as Mr X, Y, or Z, is "out" at the moment.

Can't see that Diplomat Data Systems Ltd filing of their accounts would be particularly helpful.

Might not Windowview's and the former Midas accounts be the most interesting? Which Company was actually the partnership?

Even then, how do we measure success these days, in financial terms, or moral ones?

I measure my success in how happy I am. Which, is usually best measured on a Friday night around 11.30pm.

Anyway, I am really looking forward to Telford. Make mine a Chicken Salad sandwich please. Chicken being the operative word, as I try and refrain from making derogatory remarks about people unless I can myself substantiate such remarks. Litigation is best undertaken as an observer. It's cheaper that way.
