    Instead of Hireonomy ... why not Overweenomy, Stupidonomy, maybe ... Lameonomy or Dumbonomy

    or better yet ... Tesconomy ... The biggest the best and we sell underwear.
    Noncompliantonomy

    I quite liked hieronomy. Youthful optimism and naivety.

    They're certainly not very good sports.

    I suspect that your thanks are insincere.

    And you said you were different from other agencies!

    I guess that the main two which annoy me are:
    1. Ask for my opinion and then complain when they hear something that they don't like
    2. Think that the law doesn't apply to them

    Are we allowed to point out the other areas of their website which still don't comply with the Companies Act? I can think of three or four, but I'm not an expert in such things like their design agency and whoever is responsible for their legal compliance.

    Are we not to mention areas where the websites are not compliant? Give us the word and it shall be so.
