Amazing that a company in 2014 is trying to avoid the internet....... Morrisons Supermarket tried this with old man morrision who said " we don't do the internet" its cost them millions stihl problem is that the internet shortens supply chains That means some dealers/suppliers get cut out But if they don't use the internet they lose sales just look at number of guys on this thread who've gone husky At some point stihl ( head office) will notice stihl ( uk) have screwed up and they willhave a FRANK AND OPEN DISCUSSION andolicy will change Until then the future is husky That reduces prices and keeps them competitive Clever policy for stihl would be to go heavily online at very competive prices, suck retail profit into head office, and appoint Repair Agencies who just do warranty work for them......

Wondering what you got up to as a kid? When we were about twelve..... On fine sunny day We build dam across a stream, used bricks we found in bottom of stream and build beautiful curved damm about five feet across and four feet high, faced it with mud so it was 100% waterproof, based it on Aswan dam in egypt that had just been built Though I say it myself it was beautiful When we left the water had risen about a foot....went to school as usual next day During the day there was a shower, but didn't think anything until..... Came home from school and turned on tv, news from the north featured a flood ....fire engines pumping water, guys in dingys ferrying people across, A road closed....buses with water over their wheels .....the whole bloody works Kept my trap shut till now...... It was a beautiful dam! Wondering what you guys did

Set up a production line and you'll be a millionaire in no time at all

Closed this company over twelve months ago Just seen email from paypal Some scalley has claimed he never received goods ( he did) and they are proposing to refund him £350 They made a habit of this and some people have learned how to get their money back for stuff they have received ...... It was a constant ongoing probem with credit cards ........and is probably getting worse

I'm looking at installing wood fired central heating Cutting my own logs How would this apply to me? Does this apply to me? Every time I look at government schemes I seem to be paying a premium price for everything, to the point where their contribution isn't worthwhile..... Can someone convince me that I should look at this?

I thought this had stopped years ago There was fashion then to swop wheels and tyres, so they'd nick your new tyres and replace them with wheels with bald tyres ...who'd be 100% sure when it happened?

Did about £20k a month with paypal, but through website Website was a sod to set up ( or so techies told me) but once set up worked great Never used their card reader but would expect it to work fine, Charges are very high, but if you need to make a sale you grit our teeth Back office was fine, and you can do payments in set amounts per month ok If you split payments over say six months it works out number of days and takes them at equal periods , so if your execting pyment every 25th of the month you might actually get it on 27th Very fast clearance ino your bank, like twenty minutes..... You can set it up to clear into bank automatically every day I liked it

There didn't used to be mot on recovery truck All sort of exceptions Try to get insurers to chase it up He shouldn't have been going that fast either......eejit Glad your ok Get a quote for replacement truck asap, make sure its top of the range with all the accessories you had, if it hasn't got them price up for new accessories ......don 't undervalue your truck, your looking for a forcourt price settlement, not a trade valuation..... When they make you an offer, ask them where theres one like your for sale .......chances are the assessor will have guessed.....
