They phone me to say they to not accept postal orders which we have a row and I tell them to issue me with a refund as a postal order payable to Salford City Council is no use to me. They then ring me back to say they thought I had ordered it over the phone, sorry what planet are you on, and it will be sent out to me. So be careful all with them.
