    That was my problem! 🙁

    We’re not exactly in the town centre, or even on the main road. I remember one particular deceration that took about 4 years to sell.

    We’re a specialist shop…. for specialist customers 😉

    ‘I bet Don, the retail colossus, has had his shop lit up since halloween’ 😉

    Re: Anyone Sell Xmas Lights?

    Was I the only one that stood up and clapped my hands after watching that?

    Seriously though…

    IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS!!!!

    I saw my dear mother yesterday, and she said she’d drove past the shop, and she thought it was time for the lights already! 😕

    I remember last Christmas; it was only a few months ago!

    Nobody has put lights up in their shop yet have they?

    Bah humbug!

    Cat’s diary:

    Day 183 of my captivity…

    My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture.

    Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my
    captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost
    succeeded – must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to
    disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself
    to vomit on their favourite chair – must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

    There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in
    solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and
    smell the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of inducing “allergies.” Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

    I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The
    dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is
    obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my
    every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety
    is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time.

    The old stocklink (if this software is similar) was pretty awkward for me. I could only get it to work through a 10 year old external fax-modem.

    But that was before I’d turned into a PC genius! 😉

    My pharts-scenter rep came into the shop today, with a big smile, a new car and a pocket full of dreams.

    He’s been so depressed recently when I’ve seen him, I wondered why he was so happy.

    Well he turns out he’s not my PC rep anymore…..yeap, he’s my Qualtex rep now!

    Software should be released next week apparently.

    Re: Another joke.

    A primary school teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.

    It’s hard to believe these were actually done by young kids, because the last one is classic!

    A big pat-on-the-back to Sean, for an excellent and professional presentation (wasted on the likes of me). It’s amazing how much tech info you guys have for it already!

    The washer was nice and heavy, so you can tell it’s quality! 😀 Having been delivering Bosch for the last few years, I’d says it’s just a little heavier than one of them; and you can see why, when you spot the size of the concrete weight around the front. 😯

    Goatboy’s summary: A nice tidy machine!

    My only dissappointment was when he didn’t leave the ISE with me, so I could sell it 😉

    Roll on February!

    Re: Hotpoint brushes – laminated vs thin.

    Errr….I can’t find that other post. Maybe a mod will, and move these posts there 😉
    ———————————————————————————-
    We used to ask the customer how much washing they did, and fit the black ones if it was only a couple of washes a week. But we end up fitting so few black ones, we just phased them out eventually.

    I’ve had 1 or 2 splitting white ones, but not that many. Not enough for me to try some other brushes.

    What I do see, is alot of burnt out armatures because of non-gen brushes, fitted by DIY tards!! 😕
