Richard Joss - Man of Many Monikers

How exciting: some more background about Richard Joss - the mastermind behind the scenes at Studio & Stage.

This great material comes courtesy of Anon Y Mous, who is another unhappy customer I have been corresponding with.

Briefly, this is a history of the complaint made by Arthur Ward, a photographer based in Belfast, who bought and never received an item from Richard Joss, who at that time was trading as Rib Creative Ltd and/or Studio 20.

There are some interesting parallels to be drawn between Art's experience and mine (and others who I've been in touch with). What was especially interesting was to read the language style of the emails that were sent to Art - very similar grammar, writing style, chosen expletives etc. They could have been written by The Mysterious Christopher Knox.

Reading more deeply reveals that Mr Joss may have used different names at various times, including Richard Chadwick and possibly Russell Dyson. So what's to stop him calling himself Christopher Knox? Or Jenni? ;-)

Mr Joss seems also to be trading under the name of Accolade Photography at an address in Bingley. (2 Adelaide House, Crosley Wood, Bingley, BD16 4QF if anyone's interested). It's a block of residential flats. His phone number is 01274 406574.

Why not give him a call, see if he's well?
