I'm still scarred by the memory of having to wait 28 days for my Beano dennis the menace fan club badge

I seem to remember that there were gnasher codewords in that wallet, but it was a long time ago and I'm struggling to recall the details.

28 days is nothing, Steve had to wait 9 months for his latest delivery even though she was made in the UK!

I suffered a brake in back in September and consequently wound down the business. Before hand I looked to see if I could replace what was taken but there was hardly anything... No Husqvarna battery tools. No  Blowers nothing..

I never believe the internet, when I order it’s by phone the first question is is it in stock?  The second when can I have it and the third who’s delivering it, what I like is honesty and I value this above price,I like the person who answers the phone to have some idea what I’m talking about and not be passed around, I realise this service costs and has to be paid for

Mail order forms used to say "Please allow 28 days for delivery"

I remember those days. Imagine trying to get away with that in this day and age! 😃

Apropos of nothing.
 

I remember going into a arb shop over a decade ago, some kid kept calling me ‘mate’ 

 

I told him ‘I’m not your mate, I’m the client’ (I was at nearly 50 at the time) he got quite offended.

We also get the odd diva flounce into the shop from time to time. 

 

I can't say anything as I probably do use the word mate far too often.
