Greatly amused by...

Sounds like Belgium

 

Is that how many full-dress Harleys there are in the UK?

 

Well 1 out of 2's not bad.

 

Au contraire, my little ginger chum. From the tone of Hog's recent
"non-troll" trolls and all the other nonsense, I'd think he'd be ideally
suited. Checkout at B&Q, for example, always seems to be staffed by
shouty window lickers. Hog would fit right in.

 

Well hardly but you know exactly where I was coming from so why argue
the toss

But I am a consumer

Do you have an angle on this?

You also are suggesting I'm not a consumer. Which of course I am, in
spades. And a tight one who likes a nice bargain.

Of course when it comes to selling my goods and services I'm an utter
hypocrite.

How odd, the B&Q till-trolls here are lovely individuals... tis a posh
new B&Q, mind, wiv a coffee shop.

Having said that....you've just made me think of an alternative....
Royal Mail Collection Office.

And on that basis, damn, you're right.

 

then don't be a dick.

Either I don't, or, you're complaining that someone is making profit on
a product you aren't prepared to sell more cheaply in an industry that
you don't wish to be a part of.

Because I'm bored and you're being a (bigger) dick.

of our precious oxygen, yes, yes you are.

 

<shrugs>
Most aspects of my life are just as I would choose them to be and I
don't know anyone with less stress factors. But lets not talk about
stress fractures.

And FWIW B&Q staff seem to me to be jolly nice folk and not deserving of
your comment. Belfast and the two near me in York seem to recruit older
folk, who may have previously retired, and they couldn't be more
pleasant or helpful.

Eh? I said the retail branch seemed just fine to me.

Oh hardly. Only people charging more for a product I might like then I
think it is worth. This *is* UKRM FFS.

Haven't you noticed that most of us are IT/Technical type
employees/businesstypes/contractors. That's because we are lazy and self
indulgent and wouldn't dream of taking up the stress and hassle involved
with manufacture.

Purple bolts eh? Were you fucking Charders?

Really? I though they closed Retail for MO only. I used to live
nearby.

I'll leave the good advice up to Lozzo and Darren but I think access to
routes to market is the key to said business. A random eCommerce site
being no more than piss in the wind.

I'd hazard a guess you'd be completely wrong though Hog.

I know half a dozen people who'd buy one of those if they knew they existed.

I was at the York one this very morning. Two *lovely* ladies wearing
tight red T-Shirts, pleasant as you like. New electronic signature PDA,
both parcels within 30 seconds.

So I now have a nice pair of ice stud for boot things for the
Elefantentreffen and another different pair to trial for rear wheel
fitting.

I was of course expressing only my hopes. You only need to see how many
HD's come out behind a Road Captain of a sunny day to realise some
unpleasant facts of life.

Certain shopping trolleys, with a few minor mods can be fashioned to perform
as the above.

Cost?, just go to your local canal and browse the selection.

 

See I've had some Renntec stuff. Have in fact. Good it is.
That "mover" looks poorly made by comparison.

If anyone has a large collection of Performance Bikes magazines, they may
remember the bike mover made from a trolley and the rear paddock stand
likewise fashioned.

The Renntec product looks similar to the image in my jaded memory. It may be
well manufactured. It may serve its owners in the manner it is meant to for
many years, becoming as valued to them as my mercury Carbtune is to me. I
don't know as the video refused to play for me, so I am basing my
comparison on a still image only, therefore have limited information.

It may well be a shonky pile of loris droppings.
