Title: Intrigued by this expression

 " I have no connection with XYZ models , just a happy customer ", how do we know that ?
Could be taking a bung or even be the proprietor !  Imagine Richard Branson saying the same of
Virgin Trains...... :D

Not sure what your point is ???

If someone says they have no connection it generally means they are not the proprietor or related to them or have been paid to give a review but are, in fact, just informing others of good service received.
It is entirely up to the reader to decide how much truth there is the statement.

Just having a laff, but the point is valid, rather like Trip Advisor.

I have just got back from a week away, and am inundated by questionnaires.

I just delete them and don't get too worked up about them.

I am now a Trip Advisor  1st class with oak leaves etc, I have always given
honest opinions good or bad, though I know there have been legal cases
where proprietors  have given phoney reviews of  competing guest houses,
hotels etc.

Ah - but how do we know both of those statements are truth? ;D

Rather like the Liar's Paradox-   Everything I say is a lie, but by saying
that I'm telling the truth ! However my word is my bond, I always play off
a straight bat,  have no axe to grind , play the white man , treat kings and
commoners equally and all the other timeworn phrases used by rogues
since the dawn of  time !  :D
