I only wanted it so I could succeed at an Ideal breakdown for once. I'm bound to get it eventually, with every single part I need to hand!
 
So, there were six winners. Atouchofgas has thrown his back into the pot, so another name needs to come from Ideal tomorrow.

But I have only named four winners.

That must mean there is still one more winner to announce tonight! Doesn't it?

I can see another winner lurking on the thread. Not saying much, but he is apparently India's answer to George Clooney.

Winner number 4 is MASOOD

Yes, I wish that I could offer Mike something more than a jacket. Sorry Mike, unless you get lucky tomorrow when I go back to Ideal for another name, all you have to show for stalking me and taunting Croppie is a lousy goodie bag. I take it that's an XL?

You should have put Bertie up!

Normally XXL, I keep telling people Bertie is the slim one in the pictures.

I was (am) a bit overcome!

I know exactly where this one is going, too.

Regular customers of mine, truly lovely people, have just had a baby, so they're down to one income. Their old Performa is breaking down with alarming regularity and just last week we had the "don't throw good money after bad" conversation. They don't have much money but they have a VERY photogenic house and a very cute baby, they are articulate and genuinely nice people. A marketing person's dream...

Going to call them tomorrow!

Its an Ideal..............that means two years of trouble free and five years of trying to get through to ideal to get someone out........at premium rate.
 
If this turned out to be rays greatest ever wind up I wonder if he's taken it too far to be forgiven?!

I don't think masood would get away with.....it would be immediately obvious when the next sprog pops into the world and has his ginger hair......
 
Right, just to remind everyone what they signed up to, before I name the final winner.

OP said:
Each stage of the install will need before and after shots, and Ideal may wish to video some parts of it for youtube, so your customer needs to consent to this. Ideal may also want to be present for commissioning or at other points in the installation, and reserve the right to withdraw if they think anyone is abusing their product.

I will be asking the site admin here to create a dedicated sticky thread for this product review only. You do not have to give the product a good review, but please be constructive - Ideal accept that they are taking a risk here, but they have faith in their product. What I would really like to see is the "story" of each install unfolding over the days and weeks, culminating in the 6 final reviews.

The reviews will be in the public section of the forum, and the participating installers can use the material for promoting their own businesses.

So far, this has been all in the arms, and been a bit of a laugh.

When the actual review threads come out, can I ask everyone to keep sensible, and avoid banter and "in jokes" and keep on the subject of the Vogue boilers?

Those threads will be public, and will be closely monitored by Ideal. I will also be pointing other manufacturers at them.

If we can get a professional, sensible thread going on, I don't see why we shouldnt become the "go-to" site for manufacturers with new products to launch, which means more freebies for you guys, and more coverage for us and the manufacturers.

That doesn't mean that we all have to say how wonderful it is - the product has to stand or fall on it's own merits. If its carp, then lets say so, but constructively!
 
Sorry Plumber0808 and PJF Plumbing - can you please let me know your jacket sizes?

The last of tonights free boilers goes to BOD
