No more blowaways?

... Bitter .... Jealousy ... Axe to grind

A chap writes a small sarcastic comment and suddenly he's the devil reincarnated!

Let's all lighten up shall we.

It's not sarcasm - it's downright rudeness.

You are just on here to sell your polutunnels! And you accuse Sarz of being on someone's payroll. Very untoward and isn't exactly showing your company in good light...

And whilst I am here; I have 2 First Tunnels Polytunnels at 2 of my schools and they are proving very easy to put up, they were a good price, and they were delivered to the right people, on the right day to the right address.

'Small sarcastic comments' which suggest that a Moderator has some kind of hidden agenda aren't looked on too kindly I'm afraid.

If you want to do yourself a favour, try helping out people with polytunnel queries. If you're helpful, and people like you, I find it does wonders for your popularity...

I run my own small business and at times have to take part in direct face to face sales of central heating systems usually plus of £3000.

Rule No 1 when another companies name comes up never but never directly denigrate their products stick to explaining the benifits you are offering and always offer good advice freely, you will be better thought of and make more sales.

I have a fifty quid polytunnel and I love it.
It seems solid as houses in strong winds as long as the door is closed!

Forgot to tell you folks, Himself thought he'd got away with paying for it when MIL decided she would buy it for my birthday, but I made him pay the man who does/can to put it up. Well, he's so not handy it's only right and proper he should put his hand in his pocket.

Absolutely! [When I was a Mod] we would always give Tattie as an example of the way of behaving on a Forum - giving good advice and help and keeping the sales away from the general day to day chat.

... which is why I ended up buying from him, after all the help and advice he gave me on the forum. To add, I generally only support local businesses, too. Yes it cost me more due to postage etc - but all the advice I'd recieved was worth more than what I paid for the stock from him.

Oh yes, and they were lovely

They soon find they are surprisingly good at things when it's pay or do it themselves. Men need an incentive, you need to make it feel rewarding for them. For example, when my husband, dead now and not much more energetic when living, did something right, I'd ease up with the bamboo cane on the backs of his legs. Eventually, when he absent mindedly said "I can't do it" you'd see his eyes move quickly to my hand as it dipped down the side of my armchair.
