I spent less than 5 minutes in total looking at and deciding to buy a pole from China. Just out of curiosity. It then took one quick email, 2 minutes, and pressing the send button, 2 seconds, reading the reply, 10 seconds, and ordering, 2 minutes. You could hardly call that 'spending time'. Some mornings I spend longer having a dump. Maybe I should spend less time having a dump and grow my business in the time I've saved.
It ain't no big shakes, it ain't no huge decision and I don't understand what's the big deal. In fact, I don't know why I am defending my decision.
If the pole I have bough turns out to be naff, then I've wasted my money. Simples eh? Don't take much working out does it? If it's a perfectly good pole then I've got a perfectly good pole..... der.....
Is it that to some on this forum buying anything other than Gardiners is beyond comprehension and that anyone who dares to do so is somehow stupid and daft and a CIU traitor?
So how did my decision to buy a pole from China go to not DIY fitting a van and having 'professional round management software'? Is there a hidden connection I am missing?

To quote the phrase, in terms of this topic, I'm out. I can't be bothered to further argue the silly points being made.
