I think Ewan did step over the mark this morning, for his sake and a certain suppliers sake I removed the topic, it was a Sunday morning and i really didnt have the time to sift through all the posts.
Although Ewan did step slightly over the line this morning, I often admire his stance, he is like a Jeremy Paxman character, I just wish he wasn't as bashful at times.
If suppliers come on this forum they must have equal treatment and face both the praise and the objections, If it was all lovey lovey it would just be horrendous.
I like Alex and his company a lot, he is always there even after closing hours to help me out , I am even a nightmare for him as i test his poles to destruction, Personally I think he shouldnt have to justify his prices to anyone, but by the very nature of a forum he is going to leave himself wide open to praise and criticism, It is just the nature of the beast.
Have you watched Watchdog recently, you should see retailers etc get a grilling over such trivial matters, only last week Centre parks were being asked to justify there price hikes during the summer holidays, the answer for me was simple if you thought it was too expensive, don't go. Simple !!!!
