I've added my recent email to them; let's see how they react!

Hello, I am contacting you regarding the Neverbend fork. I purchased one a few years ago, but haven't ever got around to doing much with my garden. Somehow inspired this year, I decided to go about the task of preparing for a full growing season. Being a non-gardener, I read a few books, and was informed by all that the most important tool is my fork. As I read more, I found myself constantly congratulating myself, sometimes slightly smugly, that I had been smart enough to select a quality item, in the shape of my Neverbend fork.
I sought out advice from other gardeners, and whenever tools were mentioned I nodded sagely and pointed out that I was no fool; I had invested in a Neverbend fork. Some seemed bored, but I would swear on Alan Titchmarsh's grave that a few were impressed by my selection.
Anyway, after much fannying around, the fateful day came when I had to brave the cold and turn over the soil if I was to be prepared to sow in spring (that's gardener's talk, apparently). I headed out, Neverbend fork in hand. The first half hour passed like a whole day; it wasn't as simple as those television bods make it look. Still, at least the Neverbend fork was light and pointy, and did the job. I laughed at those fools that had skimped on a few pennies and bought inferior forks. I imagined them cursing their poor selection as the soil refused to yield to such weak tools.
Then it happened. My Neverbend fork bent!
Now, to give you some background, I am not a hulk of a man that bends Neverbend forks at will. I am heading into my later years with a head of grey hair and the inability to stand without making a grunting noise. I do little exercise (part of the reason for starting gardening), and at a mere 5'8" tall, I'm not what you would call a giant. My hands do not bear the rough callouses of a hard day's physical labour, and my ethic is "slower". To bend a Neverbend fork is, therefore, not something I had anticipated in my gardening plan.
I was on the verge of heading back to my comfortable sofa to see if I could flog my collection of gardening books on E-Bay, when I spotted a sticker on the bent Neverbend fork that stated it had a ten year guarantee. I am contacting you to ascertain whether the guarantee is for some mere trifle, such as the handle falling off, or if it indeed covers the bend part of the Neverbend designation (although I suppose a Neverbend fork should be covered for eternity with regard to bending). If it is covered, I would appreciate some assistance in how to go about getting an unbent Neverbend fork in exchange for my bent Neverbend fork.
Having never bent a Neverbend fork before (try saying them when you've been drinking), I await your advice with anticipation, as I'm having a hard enough job retaining interest in gardening as it is!
Regards
Pete C
