WI Notes
Mr Bass from the Trading Standards Office came to speak to the WI in October.
The Trading Standards Service aims to ensure a fair deal for consumers and businesses by fairly enforcing trade laws, dealing with complaints about unfair practices and offering face to face advice. The areas it covers are Weights and Measures, Food, Safety and Licensing, Fair Trading and Loading of Good Vehicles.
Mr Bass advised us of all the things we should be wary of, such as letters telling us we have won vast amounts of money, phone calls persuading us to have a new kitchen etc. (we've just done some in your area!) people selling things at the door, or having "just enough tarmac left over from another job to repair your drive" etc. etc.
Some of us thought the talk would be boring, but we couldn't have been more wrong. Mr Bass made it very interesting and amusing.
On 15th November, Sarah Warmer will be talking on Gift Wrapping, so if you want to find out various ways of wrapping your Christmas presents, come along and join us, 7.30pm in the Village Hall.
Just a reminder about the Gay Bullied Award: nominations should be in by the end of November.
