    Where did I say I was "outraged"?

    I simply pointed out that a chronic lack of professionalism and basic cop-on makes a company unsuitable to deal with.

    So because of a mistake by a marketing head - possibly in the UK, Spectra is not suitable to deal with?

    HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE:rolleyes:

    meh, you overthink things.

    Especially if its a service you use. It's really just a case of biteing off your nose to spite your face.

    You do know what else spectra does dont you?

    Speed camera vans. Try ignoring their correspondence and see how far you get:D

    O/P how many other companies are you currently boycotting ? Are the use of child/sweatshop/slave labour, conflict minerals, middle-eastern oil, Israeli/Columbian/Chinese suppliers or Arms dealing lesser crimes than a minor regional cultural faux-pas or are your standards of ethical consumerism so delicate and rarefied that you spend your days sitting naked on the floorboards of a bare empty freezing room ?

    So anyone who refers to 26th Dec as "Boxing day" is a card carrying member of the Oliver Cromwell appreciation society ? Get a grip FFS :rolleyes:

    B asic stuff my hole. your just looking for some rubbish to push an anti uk/english/ whatever agenda. Its not part of their business and has no effect on how they deliver their goods and services. If they want to call it Boxing Day then they can go ahead. It really doesnt bother me what people want to call things, I'll call it what I want and they can call it what they want. World keeps turnign and everyones happy.

    Shoulder chips are boring and annoying.

    None of this is correct. It is a huge marketing mistake to wish people a happy St. Andrew's day on St. Georges day, a happy Valentines day on July 14th, and a happy boxing day on St. Stephen's day. Who ever wrote that copy for Spectra should have checked who they were sending it to.

    I don't know anything about Spectra - if their customer base is mostly Irish they should use St. Stephen's day. If mostly English Boxing day, if both a hyphen.

    These things matter, as if something is not called Boxing day here. The fact that you don't care is irrelevant, losing even 10% of subscribers would be a disastrous result from a email campaign.

    So it does matter.

    On the page Spectra.ie it says in the logo "Spectra from Snapfish by HP"
    At the bottom of the page it says "About Snapfish".
    "Based in San Francisco, Snapfish is a division of Hewlett-Packard, the world's foremost digital imaging company and one of the most trusted brands on the planet"

    Hope that clarifies it.
    Boxing Day discussion can go in the other thread.
