Or is it just negativity and dis-stain that pulses through your veins?
I suspect the 'Victor Meldrew' of the audio world is after a spot on 'Grumpy old men'

I love the grumpy old men programs and the grumpy old women are even funnier.

I have a mission :eyebrows: as a Super Hero - to write (about) the wrongs of the industry - to show it starkly the way it is in the face of the growling flatulent slurpers.

"Is it an Emu, is it a pregnant Warthog - no its Super Muppet"

While you're at it Richard why not include other shysters like Marks & Spencers, WH Smiths & Woolworths? They all mark up what they sell too. How dare they? Surely these places should be run as charities. The staff there should work for nothing and just be glad of the opportunity to be of service. Rather than find all your clothes in one shop like M&S, surely its far better to approach each manufacturer who supplies them and ask for 1 pair of socks, one jumper or whatever. I'm sure they'd be delighted to deal with each individual customer on this basis. Perhaps they could have commissioned reps on the road lending out individual pairs of pants for home trial. Do you realise how little pants cost to make? It's an outrage. Something must be done!

Hehehehe, nice. :)

I quite like the idea (albeit preposterous) of a pants rep, not so keen on the demo pair though. :(

:lolsign:

Right, enough is enough. No more talk about dealers and retailers now. It's time for an alternative subject matter, Richard.

The choice is yours! :)

But any more references to dealers will simply be removed. I trust that you will have the sense and maturity to comply.

What's your next ranting subject going to be then? :smoking:

Marco.

So we end up with a circular argument. The answer brings us back to dealers. Sorry Richard, no cigar. Try again!

Yes from me to points 1 and 3

Mike.

Excuse me asking, almighty moderator, but what has this got to do with the thread.

you obviously dont use ground planes in your designs then?
and it wasnt meant to astound you , i was trying to prove a point.
lets see some of your handy work, ohh sorry, we allready have...:(

Richard,

I am not mighty in any way.

1. I have bought direct from China via ebay.

3. I have bought items with a British name on them that have been made in China.

Quite simple really. At least it was until Steve deleted your post above.

Cheers,
Mike.
