Hi all I'm thinking of making an area in the new shop for people to have a sit down and a drink either while shopping or waiting for a quick repair, hedge cutter sharpened etc... A pub bench with copy of arb mags. Question is, if I put in a drinks machine with a choice of approx 10 different drinks would people be willing to pay 50p per drink or would they not bother. Let me know your thoughts as it's a big outlay but if people want it I'll put it in. You never know it might become a meeting place for people, I have no problem with people just popping in to grab a cup for a break.

That's silly cheep, but I've already got a case for mine. Might get a spare.

I've not used one myself. But sat on the board for other companies using one. If you get a good one, they will be worth the money all day long. If you can take an outsider picking you apart for constructive reasons and do as they ask before the next meeting then it will be worth it. If you don't do what they ask of you, you won't know if it would have worked in the first place. Make sure you get a few people to sit in with you to put an outsiders point of view across. Sometimes their are obvious things you can change, but you just can't see it yourself. I think about £600-£1000 per day is a good one. It's a massive decision to make and an even bigger commitment as they will give you work to do. Good luck what ever you decide.

As long as it's the same size it will be fine, I don't know the numbering on the Oregon plugs.

What's the verdict, who would want one if I had them made or imported?

Hi All The MS192 are all gone and Husky are low on everything.

I was told it's worldwide, but I'm not 100% on when it comes into effect around the world.

When they made the rule and we all signed the contracts, it was for all Stihl branded stuff. It would be good if they relaxed it to machines only. Maybe they will for next year, fingers crossed hint hint.
-
Some may run the risk, but we won't Stihl and us work well together and I want it to stay that way. 90% of you on here are pro users anyway so as long as we can have some proof it's not going to be a problem. If you look at it from Stihl's angle, they and we don't think it's right that someone can walk into B&Q, buy a chainsaw and use it, without a clue what they are doing. Stihl took a stance a few years back that EVERYTHING that is Stihl branded must be handed over and demonstrated to the customer unless they can prove they are a pro user. It was a bold move, but it's worked for them so far.

Yes mate same price as the normal one, and would take about 2-3 days to come in. If you need one just order the normal one and put in the notes that you want the orange one and I'll make sure they swap it for you.

Had a great day fishing and a good old laugh, just got in as my lot came back to the pub stinking of fishing and tales of the big ones. A big thanks to Mr Stockbridge for sorting this. To be honest I had lost a bit of faith in sea fishing in England until today. We had a lot of fish on the boat and a good time as well. Cheers Mick:thumbup: Mick got a few photos so I'll wait for them to come up.

I've confirmed with my guys, Me, Plippy, Mat, Alex and we are all well up for it. Can you let us know what time to meet and where, also what time we are due back. Going out for sickness pills and some warm clothing.
-
Hi yes they do now, not sure on pricing but they have told me they can do it on house.

It's a standard Petzl helmet, with a bit added on for Husky or Stihl to repackage label and sell. Just get a Petzl it's the same.

The 2011 catalogue was printed in Jan the new models (201T, 201 back handle, 241) are not in there until the new one next year. This happens every year as they are never quite sure when the new one will be on sale. They wouldn't want to promise something and then it not arrive, if you no what I mean.

Be careful when cracking on to you local barmaid, you might just end up marrying one. And my mate married the other one.

There is at least 15 pubs within 20 minutes walk from my house, I try to use them us much as I can, but it's messing with my waistline.
-
I'll look into them as well Mick, I used to use them on the London to Brighton bike ride. I know use them on a session with the wife:001_tt2:

Need a bit of feedback, thinking of putting energy bars and drinks into the new shop. If you was in my shop would you buy? I think it's more of an impulse buy in store, but I would put them on the website as well just to see if they sold. Let me know your thoughts, we are trying to cover new things in the new place and I just thought of this 10 mins ago. Let me know if you think I'm mad.
