Hog would fit right in. <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. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air

I was always puzzled about most of the moaning & whingeing about bad service because being very carefull about what I buy & who I buy it from I'd never really experienced it . . . Untill my first visit to a Royal Mail Collection Office. My, what fun we had.

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. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19

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. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air |
