To whom it may concern, I wish to object to your enforcement of a policy to prevent customers buying your products on-line. I feel your decision is incredibly short-sighted and shows an arrogance that is beyond belief. I run the estates teams for a large pharmaceuticals company in the UK which is equipped with your machines. We did actually just buy a new brushcutter from the on-line dealer which supplies our consumable items also. I do not have the time to visit the shop and have found their on-line/phone service to be excellent. I find I get better deals and value from on-line suppliers as well as the convenience to myself. Your decision to force me to use my local dealer means that I will still remain a loyal customer of the on-line supplier but no longer purchase your products. Oregon supply perfectly good kit as regards consumables and,as larger items need replacement, my budget will be spent on Husqvarna and Echo. Why you feel that you can decide for me where I choose to purchase your products is insufferable. I am also not convinced about the legality of your actions, feeling as I do that it represents an unfair restraint of trade. Your's (an ex-customer), Alan Lawrence

Speak to the people who serviced it. If they get snotty about it, you are going to have to prove it's their fault so don't go in all guns blazing.

Don't beat yourself up. You didn't panic, you let somebody equally well-qualified and less emotionally involved than yourself deal with the situation which is often the better option. As you know, it's important to keep the casualty calm in such situations and seeing his Dad's naturally worried expression might not have been the best way to do this for your son. I think you did a good job. Besides which, how popular would you have been if you got claret all over your costume?

Gave me a laugh the first time I saw it too.

Another vote for the Meindls here.

I'm sure I've seen you in similar in the Cross Keys.

I think you might be confusing that with The Blue Oyster Bar.

Firstly, my sympathies on your loss. Secondly, I don't envy you this dilemma. You are going to need the wisdom of Solomon and incredible diplomacy but you will manage. To me, the only fair way to do it is to dissolve the company with an independent valuation to ascertain the value of the business assets, be they plant or 'goodwill' ie reputation or pre-existing booked work. Without an independent valuation, one or both of you is bound to feel hard done by. At least if neither of you has a say in the valuation, neither can accuse the other of unfairness. Unfortunately, I suspect that neither of you will be entirely satisfied with the outcome either. Finally, I think Andy's idea of a trust fund for your niece is an excellent idea as long as you can afford it.

Your words are twisted enough without any help.

I think you might be on the wrong site for that, mon brave.

Isn't that just a tow-rope?

We have a thing down here called de-icer as well. I like to spoil myself.

Assuming you aren't processing the wood for sale, you don't need a risk assessment. As to leaving your van running for 10mins, did you do this and, if so, why?

Arbtalk will miss his intellectual gems. I thought he was an interesting mix of Einstein and Wilde.

Correspondence about a perceived civil dispute like this is highly unlikely to be treated as harassment.

I always look at the word 'troll' and think 'pointless social inadequate oxygen thief with a comically small penis'.

Oi!!! Le Sanglier! No!!!!!!!

Or you looked like you wanted a Brad Pitt?

The two are not mutually exclusive.

That's nice to see. Racist as well as ignorant. I'm so glad we all took the time to help you.

That's great news. Shame about the pub though.

No payment (financial or goods or services) for advice = no contractual obligation.

Nice pic! He was certainly entertaining that day. How are Rose and her husband? Hope he has made a good recovery.
