Not saying you are not a trusted trafer Gary, but is it just another trusted trader money making website?

Like most of all the other similar sites :-\   

How much is membership ? what checks do they actualy make ?   and as for which magazine I personaly think some of their findings and reccomendations are a load of codswallop :)

I seem to recall them placing  a cheap steam cleaning mop or c/c machine top of the ratings, along with  vanish ,highly rated :o     and no doubt dozens of other consumer products, ok Joe public does appear to regard Which as gospel ::)roll   so may well be a benifit , myself  i cant see it making any difference.

as it happens geoff they want to know the ins and outs of a cats arse,very thorough vetting,you have an interveiw go through paperwork ask you about procedures,ins,liabilities etc
ask you all about your knowledge of legal situations,code of practice etc
i think it will be really good as the great british public like the which brand
its a pilot scheme but i suspect it will be big,same price as check a trade etc
