Nice one Paps. I bet that took a while to compile !

The thing is, do they all work ?

Yes, it did ( I hope that all of my effort is appreciated ).

And yes, they all DO work as I have tested all of them !

I have just added the "Write To Them" site so that you can easily write to your own MP !

Give it a try and remember....They are there are OUR servants !

One of the communication managers of the Consumer-Focus site has kindly answered an e-mail from me about our mutual desire to try to make things better for the British consumers and to that end she sent me a very concise and alphabetised list of help addresses that adds beautifully to the list I have already complied.

I would like to officially thank that Consumer Focus agent for these addresses as every bit of information we can glean that shows us how and where to complain about consumer abuses is just another arrow to our reparations quiver.

Here it is again if you missed it in the main list:
