<p> </p>
<p>I have been purchasing Mathmos lamps since around 1995 and have noticed both customer service and product quality nosedive at Mathmos over the last couple of years. (This could equate to Cressida Grainger loosing interest in her business, with the intention in the near future of selling it.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As far as I am concerned, quality started to go downhill steadily from around 2000 when Cressida Grainger bought the remaining share of the business from David Mulley and started to make cutbacks (altering the formula for example).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It obviously infuriates you when do not like something that you hear and therefore launch a stinging personal attack on another member instead of communicating directly with the person who enraged you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You are weak bully.</p>
