Let's hope it's rather more informative than the lex vehicle leasing company one. They didn't seem to have many answers at all. 

Shame I am away

To be honest, I wasn't sure how to take criadon's post. I thought it was tongue in cheek so I responded in a similar vein.

Looking again this morning I am now not so sure so here is the less flippant answer.

There is no discrimination to members (AFAIK) who do not use CT. No special offers, no extra competions and no special treatment. If they were I would offer exactly the same argument that I have against the club's use of Facebook. We all pay the same so we should all be treated the same.

It's entirely up to the individual if they wish to participate in FB or not, it's the club discriminating against those who choose not to that I am banging on about.

Apols to cariadon for my naughty answer if I did miss read his post yesterday.

I did think your first answer was very selfish as I know of many who do not have internet access or even a fast broadband, and not even a local library or even have the know how to use a computer, so be thankful that you have the facilities and know how to use this forum.

Hopefully after I took the time to explain you no longer think my answer was very selfish?

I find it hard to understand that although an individual might not have the skills they do not know someone who does.

Hello, I use Facebook a lot and have just liked the page. Can we not ask a question or start a post on the page though? I find it easy to chat on Facebook and a good form of communication also a good business tool, I like to use it for advice along with the forum here and and blogs on the internet but noticed I can't start a new post on the new CC page? Thanks.

Must admit, i find it frustrating also when companies use facebook or twitter or the likes of competitions, there for rendering those who dont use these platforms through choice or any other reason inelegible.

I understand the need for them to have facebook accounts as they need to keep up with the current trends and have no problem with it, how ever it would be a lot better received by all if competitions and the likes were run on both a club website and facebook so there is the choice and chance for all to enter.

Have you asked this question in the Ask The Expert Live section?
