Oi!! He doesn't care what you think looks right, you don't count mate, you
are only a prospective customer. If he wants to make concrete pots, he will.
Just you remember, it's "his" business.

So there.



This is getting amazingly spiteful. School bullies in the playground stuff.

Sorry you feel this way Sacha, but the O.P. is clearly still in the
playground.
F.F would be well advised to look at your site and learn from it.
A joy to behold.

Because this is a sight 'for the customer' and where the customer is king.

I worked with a chap once who had a policy of 'When the customer shouts
jump, I jump and on the way up I ask "How high Sir?". If I want slag the
stupid ******* off, I do it behind his back, not in public". I adopted the
same policy when I went into business. Maybe that is why I am not a 'has
been' as Foxfield called me, but a 'still is' by virtue of the amount of
people still calling for me.

Concrete ornaments have a good lifespan but do erode quicker than stonecast,
other than sandstone etc.

I agree with you that concrete pots are unattractive. I also dislike the
finish that you get on garden ornaments at places such as Sunday Markets.

Now that is odd. I could have sworn that you said you were toooooooooooo
busy to come back onto this newsgroup and respond.

Orders slackened off? I wonder why.

Oh god - more boasting. Your insecurity is palpable.
What an excellent precept for success in business - telling the world you
slag your customers off behind their back. Somehow, Mike, I cant see you
as a mentor to anyone.

Feel free to think JUST what you like.

Don't tell me that you have never sworn about an akward customer behind
their back because I won't believe you. My customers knew just where they
stood with me. Maybe that is why I am still contacted by my old customers.
Why my Christmas Card shelf gets bigger each year.

You must be know know who I am and what I am. If you don't like it, fair
enough, bye. You have called me quite a few times and I believe you have
killfiled me more times that I have had hot dinners, but somehow you ALWAYS
come back and respond. WHY? You took a swipe at me over my postal address,
"Oh he just gave his name and Post Code" That's all that is needed for most
people.

Sacha now killfiles Mike for the n'th time :-))

The homepage picture was posted on alt.bin.pic.gdns sometime ago, as some
sort of joke, if I recall correctly.
Is this the latest joke - albeit on a grander scale ?

Yes I feel it is. I think there is a 'bit' of seriousness behind it, in
that
it is a hobby hoping to take off as a business.

Mike
Cynical bunch aren't we? Yes, the penny farthing was meant as a
light-hearted image but I didn't envisage that anyone would seriously think
that we would be using that means of transport!

I am actually just a Single Dad trying to earn a few shekels making and
selling ornaments.

If you have any serious enquiries, please email them to me or post them on
this Newsgroup and I shall endeavour to respond.

Have you considered buying a cheap digital camera, a copy of HTML for
dummies and wnadered over the sites of anyone else?

The tiny thumbnail size pictures don't link to a larger picture and the
styling of he site is about 20 years off mark.

The bad picture quality is most urgent though

kiss my arse you acrimonious prat

Nevertheless, pleased to see the web site has been altered and improved a
'little', so there is hope yet for the business. Just take a little more
advice and you will be OK

Also observed. but a long way to go yet .
Prices seem to based on distance from place of manufacture - pity we don't
seem to be able to find out where it is though.

The goods are crap and are free, but you pay inflated prices for postage and
package. How's that for a new marketing ploy?

I still think his middle name is Ratner :-))
