The T shirts are ready for printing and orders have come flooding in. The T shirts are designed by Big  H and will be printed by a friend of mine , near Portsmouth, Hampshire , GB.

A large hand for the model Anna SPS who will be hoping to see you all in the shirts come June.
The cost of the T Shirts are £9 each or 12 Euro which includes P&P within Europe.


If you would like a T shirt , please send an e mail to Robbo@selfpreservationsociety.fsnet.co.uk

Or send a PM to either myself or Smokie .

Once you have made your choise , Please send your cheques or Euro's in CASH to

Phil Robertson
100 Bevis Road
Portsmouth
Hampshire
PO2 8AT

All MONIES MUST BE RECIEVED BY 30TH JANUARY


Any Problems contact either me or Smokie

THE PICTURES OF THE T SHIRTS ARE ON PAGE 5.

See Robbo's post further down for the full list

For everyone's benefit, an informational post.

The shirts will be available in the stated colour (white) and the stated sizes (M - XXL). Seeing as thse facts are not debatable, I'll keep this thread relatively clean by removing posts which discuss these issues. No offence intended to any posters.

There is a wide choice of sizes. I'd suggest if anyone is in doubt, just get one size up.

Don't worry if it's a bit tight, you might be mistaken for a prop in the England team.

Were their shirts snug or what?


PS I seem to be receiving OK on smokie@stones.com, or you could try geoff@chilipepperprod.com (note chili has only 1 x l)

Don't use the c.a.tshirts @ntl or whatever it was as that is well and truly knackered

The Union Jack can always be covered over with a transfer of anyones own making.  Paper available in PC world, and presumably in other countries as well.

Great work Robbo, well done.
I'm looking forward to receiving Anna's rear.
H

For administrative ease...and for your convenience...

Cheques to arrive with Robbo by 31 January 2004.

£9 per shirt.

Please state SIZE and POSTAL ADDRESS and CA NICKNAME with order.

Cheques will ALL be cashed during first week of Feb

T shirts to be ordered from the printers during second week of February for all cleared and complete funds

So send 'em now, post date to end Jan if you want - Robbo will save them up. That would be much easier for him than receiving hundreds all at once.

Any chance of doing an online transfer direct  to your bank?

Saves me having to find a cheque!  But if it is easier for you I'll dig out a cheque.  Or use one of the wifes ? ;)

Up to Robbo - but my view is that it is easier for him to track etc if you send a cheque

Xcuse me not sending you any check....  ;)

Please Note

The list above is the whole order as I know it.

My filtering rules deleted one (or possibly more) t shirt emails this morning (rules now deleted!)

If your order isn't present, or is incorrect, please email me or add to this thread

Please note I have updated the list above from Robbo's spreadsheet and it still is supposed to represent all orders received.

If you need to change your order or it doesn't appear in the list, please mail me (smokie@stones.com).

Please also note that payment date is now becoming imminent.

Happy New Year to One and All!

A civil war later I still do not know what the price of this t-shirt in Euro is p&p.... ::)

Bartus(who is missing something here....obviously....)

1. How is it a civil war if you are from another country? ???

2. I suggest you read Robbo's post in the Xenophobe thread below (and written an hour before you posted above), where you will note with annoyance that a special surcharge of 18Eu is being imposed for payment in unloved Euros. (except probably for Gilles, HGB etc who are all top people). Plus the Tee at 9Eu I guess. Hardly worthwhile buying one is it? :-\.

3. After your juvenile display above, I think that your continuing expressed desire to have a CA tee speaks far more eloquently about your sensibilities as a person than any contributor could here.

What a dog's cock! :-*

Andy, please stick to words with less than 6 letters, it makes your posting read easier and yourself look less cooky(o = c)...

Bartus(who thinks he stepped on some bloody bloody toes)

Go get him Robbo, have posted our cheque to you today for the Liverpool crews T shirts and suprise, suprise it is in the Queens shilling currency.
Take care.
Brian.

Robbo

So to be a pain but can I amend my order to 2 x  XL please.

The cheques in the post tonight!!

Please PLEASE can everyone follow jpchenet's good example and restrict themselves to t-shirt relevant posts in this thread.

For some strange reason I do not seem to get an answer to my initial question about a price in Euro. Rather strange...

Bartus(who wants a t-shirt as well)

Easy solution...
1) Go to the bank and change your Euros to 10 GBP (whatever the rate is, no idea at the moment).
2) Put the 10 GBP note into an envelop adressed to Robbo. Don't forget to include your adress
3) Wait for the postman (however long it may take)
4) Receive shirt

Maybe Robbo is so nice and buys you a beer in June for the extra Pound you spent for the shirt. Or you just happily pay it to compensate the extra hassle and cost he has for sending the shirt to the Euro zone. Hey presto, job done, everybody's happy... :D ;)

That is a double waste of money cos first I make costs to change to Pounds and than Robbo makes extra costs to change back to Euros in order to be able to buy a beer in June....  ::)

Bartus(who is rather pennywise)

Hmm, you're right there but didn't you know that LM is one of the biggest "throwing money out of the window" events in the world. That's why I love it.  ;D

Braketest - Robbo is just an ordinary person who has volunteered to get some tee shirts printed for fellow members of the site. Obviously he does not want to be (nor should he be) out of pocket, and he is putting in a lot of his own time and effort to make this work. The shirts are being made and supplied at cost, there is no profit anywhere for anyone on this site.

In fact this whole forum is run voluntarily - no-one makes money from it, so you could call it a hobby for us all.

While I understand that you want a tee shirt - who wouldn't? - and I also appreciate your concerns regarding the cost, I've already been trying to avert World War 3 on your behalf, but quite honestly this is starting to take more time than I care to spend.

It would be helpful if you came up with a suggestion or two about how you COULD pay, or how you are prepared to pay, to get a shirt. I'm sure we can work something out...

Robbo / Smokie -
I may well need to raise my order to 18 possibly 20 t-shirts.

looks like :-
Medium - 2
Large - 11
X Large - 5

I will confirm and send my cheque by the end of this week.

Ta very muchly.

 List amended - smokie

Hi, Only registered on Club Arnage today but have been a L'mans faithfull for the last 8 years ( I know,slow learner ). Am I in time to order a couple of T shirts both large and whats the payment process.
Cheers. ???


Details of cost and how to order are in the earlier parts of this thread

OK. I've managed to keep my posts to this thread on the theme for long enough.

Bartus/Breaktest/Patience Test.  

The very early posts of this thread clearly state the cost of the t-shirts. Subsequent posts have covered the additional costs involved if you would like to pay in Euros. Big H has given his time in coming up with the initial design, Robbo has given his time in making this design accessible to the forum members, Smokie, Chris and Grand Fromage give their time in moderating the forum.

I know several have already posted similar messages but please........if you want to try to start a "flame" thread, go to the kiddies forums where they belong.

If you genuinely want a Club Arnage t-shirt then please act as though you are someone who the volunteers of this forum would be pleased to see/meet wearing one. Should this be the case, I will happily purchase one on your behalf and swap it with you for Euros at the Champagne Bar on the Saturday of the race at 21:00 when we all aim to meet each year for a drink.If thsi is not the case, please, please, please, stop this irrelevant agitation of good people!!!

Before last years race, I gave up some of my time to have some Club Arnage window stickers created from the designs of the forum moderators. They were not necessarily to everyones ideal taste, and some people posted to say so. However, all the posts were constructive, and in no means condiscending!

Here's hoping this can be VERY quickly resolved so we can all meet up for a drink in June?!?!?!

Cheers!!



SORRY MODERATORS!!!

Just for you all to understand....I am a La Mans regular that has missed 2 outof the last twenty races. I have been visiting this site for years and I have been using the info to travel around Le Mans and I do appreciate this site and THAT is why I wanted and still want to buy a t-shirt. My initial question about Euro's was answered with a load a insulting garbage and that is what made me decide to adapt myself to what seems to be the standard: kick back wen you're kicked!

It seems to be too complicated to get one in a currency that you will all need in June so I'll be sending a 10 Pound note to Robbo and hope he'll mail me a t-shirt.

Bartus(who will register the nick patience-test lateron today for your convenience)
 

Bartus, on behalf of CA, I'm sorry you received a rough ride on your first post. That's not to say it was in impeccable style. Everyone needs to also appreciate that things can take on a different meaning when read rather than heard, and that their particular style of humour doesn't always travel well across languages and cultures.

It's one of the reasons that, in the past, I have deleted posts which could be construed as offensive. I've been criticised for this, so on this occassion I've let it run...and run...and run.

But now I've had enough.

So, with that out of the way, and now we've all had our say, can we draw a line under it, shake hands, agree to buy one another a beer in June and move on please?

Any more unfriendly posts by anyone on this topic will be a waste of your time as they will be removed.

Yeah, right. Like I give a sh*t.

Poor misguided fool.
Good work on the T-shirts though (just to stay tenuously 'on-thread').

Robbo

You've got my order for 4 t-shirts (and a cheque I hope).

I'll probably want another 4 - don't know the sizes yet - I'll let you know soonest

Cheers

DB

Same problem as ol' Bartus I'm afraid - I exist in the world of the yankee dollar - but here's what I'm going to do. I'll nip to the bank and swap over the nearly 40 f**k*ng bucks it's going to take to get hold of 20 sovs and I'll mail it to you - if you would be kind enough to use the outstanding 11 quid to mail the shirt back to me. Will that work?

I'll need XXL if available, as I'm fairly hefty.
Please let me know.

Righteo Robbo
I'll get the necessary done. I can do Sterling or Euro, which do you prefer? (I thought the punch-up with Bartus was because you couldn't do Euro's - I must have misunderstood).
I'm not scheduled to be in Europe before June.
Please ensure that the Mini memorabilia does not include dog turds, piss of any description, or razor blades sewn into the neckline.
Regards
Matt

Matt, do you want the t-shirt before June?? Otherwise I'll stand the £9 for you and you can just collect it on the weekend of the race and settle up then. (The same offer still goes for Braketest)

You may even be lucky and the dollar may recover slightly against the old strerling in the meantime.

Or if Matt was REALLY desparate, and the shirts were ready by March, someone might take it to Sebring...?

Matthew - what the farg are you buying one of these shirts for?  It'll have enormous chlorine burns in it by March and will be totally unusable....

Can someone give him some advice about pool care?

Is the trip to Sebring included in the £2.54? :P

I am very touched by the thoughtfulness of those who have offered to help me with my CA T-shirt dilema - particularly JPC - your offer to stump-up for my shirt and collect on the day, is extremely generous and I very much appreciate it. So much so, that I'll do you a swap. I will be attending the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Daytona 500 and the 12 Hours of Sebring and possibly the Indy 500 prior to Le Mans. Would you rather have the 9 quid, or a shirt of your choice from one of these classics - or a 6-pack of Grimbergen?
If you decide on the shirt, let me know your girth and I'll get you sorted.
Granted, US racing shirts tend to be somewhat more garish than the restrained tones of Big H's design - but the artwork and quality are the bollocks. If you decide on the Grimbergen, I cannot be held responsible for any subsequent unpleasent consequences.
Please let me know JPC
Matt
p.s. Additionally, this strategy will ensure that I do not conduct any pool maintenance while wearing my CA colours (I burned a f**k*ng great hole in a $70.00 Rolex polo shirt, due to my sloppy handling of chlorine - thanks for telling the world, Dave)  

Robbo-

Thanks for your work !

Two shirts - Large - please

Chq in post today (2nd class post - can't afford First now I've paid ferry & ACO !)

Well done Robbo.

Robbo: Thanks for sorting Matt's  t-shirt. Additional cheque on it's way.

Matt: The idea of a US based shirt sounds great, and thanks for the generous offer. As I have no idea on designs I'll leave myself in your hands. Size is XL. Thank You!!  Does Dave want one as well??

Dave's missus is currently going about the business of ejecting their first born, so I suspect his mind will be on things other than CA shirts right now. But, sod it! If you don't mind 'giving me a push' until Le Mans, lets get him one too. He's not quite as humungous as me so XL should just about go over his man-tits.
I'll get you a Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona shirt in XL and Dave will secure one from Mobil 12 Hours of Sebring - you'll be the envy of La Sarthe.
Alternatively, we could do combo of shirt/baseball cap - whichever you prefer.
Thanks again JPC - you're a star player.

No problems Matt!!  :D     And the second shirt sounds great thanks!

Robbo, that makes my allocation 1 x  XXL and 3 x XL

Second cheque on the way for the difference.  :)

Has anyone elses' Mrs been in labor for 4 f**k*ng days?  Took 30 seconds  to get this started 9-10 months ago!  This is driving me insane.  

Cheers on the shirt jpchenet.  Sebring shirt it is - assuming that she's had the kid by then!  Appreciate you taking care of this.  I look forward to my permanent Guinness stain down the front.....

Hang on in there Dave, but whatever you do, don't suggest she's making a bit of a meal of it.
Go kiddo, go!
H

I'm off to Dublin for the day on Friday so could obtain some of the real stuff and pre-arrange the stain for you if you like Dave??   ;D ;D

Nullo problemo Robbo, thanks very much anyway.

I may be just under the affluence of incahol but has Robbo's address disappeared from this thread???

Trying to post the cheque to you Robbo for the Harper's shirts and can't see it anywhere. Maybe the clear-up police who have removed the old attachments (BRING BACK ANNA!!  :o) accidently removed the text as well??

oo'er, so has the rest of the post. Bloody admin people. I'll mail him.

Thanks Smokie

They were obviously just doing tooooo good a job creating some disk space  :)

Bringing back Anna

[attachment deleted by admin]

Robbo,

Hi Robbo,

Sorry to be a pain - can you add 2 more to my requirement please: 1 medium and 1 large.

Another cheque in the post today (23/01/04) to cover these.

Hopefully not too late and thanks for the fine work you are doing on behalf of us all.

I have removed lots of my posts to clean up this thread.

The list of who has paid is correct up to today 23/01/04 .

If you have any probs PM me or e mail me by clicking the little icons to the left under my MG racing picture.

Ha! What a relief to see that het majesty employs trustworthy mailmen and my money has arrived at Robbo. Dis you see the Euro-sign on the 10 pound-note?  ::)

Please put me on the list for an XL, thanks in advance!

Bartus(who keeps on looking at his mailbox to see when the t-shirt arrives)

Providing i get all the monies in , last 7 0r 8 groups left then its order time on Friday 30th Jan 2004 .

Should be posting them out from 15th Feb onwards.

People wishing to take to Sebring can be sent first , please just let me know.

They also didn't steal my 10 Euro note...
... maybe they didn't know what it was  8)

Just waiting for DreamRacers , Powermite , Grand Fromage , team Sharp, Stu , starbar and a ew others who dont seem to post very often.

Only 41 t shirts left to pay for ..........

Mine was posted yesterday Robbo,1st Class

PM

I may well  have missed this earlier on Robbo but how many CA t-shirts can we expect to see in total at Le Mans this year????

Jp -

I have orders for 165 of the little devils.

Only Mr Grand Fromage left to pay.............. :-[

165 of them. That's going to be a great sight at the Shampoo Bar on Saturday night!!!   :)

I think it's time that Nick and I found out where the shampoo bar is. We knowthe ACO Welcome Area. Where d'we go from there? Map anyone? ???

Bill

Here you go!!

http://www.swr2002.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/maps/Shampoo.jpg

There's loads of useful information here http://www.clubarnage.com/yabbse/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=274

Its 167 now with a few late additions - Mr Cutler  ::)

But alas , i am still waiting for money. Only 22 t shirts not yet paid for.

Big H i am still waiting for your additional cheque.

Grand Fromage - I am just waiting

Starbar - Are you alive ??

as well as Pepe , Kate Shaw , Sneckter ?  , Brad Wills , and a few others.

If we hadnt done the ordering this way i could now be looking down the barrel of nearly £200 out of pocket.

Oh well at least 145 T shirts at the shampoo bar. most coming from MB i thinks

-----------------------

  I/we hope  ;)  still not heard anything about camping passes yet  ??? :(  if anyone gets 4 spare can I have 1st call on them  ;)

    There maybe a slight delayof a few days as i am still waiting for money. I have re e mailed them all to tell people. despite promises of payment....    

Thanks jpchenet, I know now, just up the slope from the ACO Welcome area near Dunlop bridge-ish! OK? We'll be there in our tee-shirts. Not shining and polished though, possibly just upright!!!

Bill ;)

The T Shirts have been ordered. Only Mr Davies still to pay.........


168 New T Shirts should be here in 2 weeks and posted after that.......


That includes orders by Rick Cutler and Miss RS2 babe as well.




If anyone esle wants a T shirt, and stumbles on this thread later, e mail me and i will sort it out.

As the numbers will be lower the T shirts would now be £10 inc P&P .

A true star - many thanks for organising it - a major feat and use of your time, for which I, for one, am very grateful.   Ta  ;D

Absolutely.  Couldn't have put it better myself :D

Top Job Robbo!!

Robbo-
Brilliant - thank you.

How soon after Le Mans do we send them to your house for washing and ironing? ;) ;)

Many thanks Robbo, please accept this on behalf of the nation.


[attachment deleted by admin]

Thank you for your comments.

Dryhen -


!!!!!*%^&*$££ to your washing idea

As the owner of the printers cant give me an even lower price so that i "get a drink" out of it , he will be printing up a few mugs for me.

Anyone for merchandise

Probably....

Seriously........YES.  A CA mug would be excellent ;D

A mug will be lovely. How much does one need?.

Stu

You and your big mouth Robbo Yep. I am interested in a Mug....
    Ta.
       Ian

Robbo OBE,
Yes please, a mug for my mug would be splendid.

Robbo, go on then one for me also will go well with the t shirt
Thanks for the effort you have made, great job.
Brian.

A Mug would be great. It will certainly get everyone at work wondering why I sleep half the day , being that it will say 'real men do it for 24hours'

Cheers.

MUG

Yep i am.

I will ask about the design.

Although it was only going to be for me first.

You and your big mouth.   :-X :(

I know a nice little pottery company in Stoke on Trent!

What is that we're meant to be doing for 24 hours?
Yours
Worried of Surrey.

PS
- and does it mean I'll have to start taking up these offers of engrailing?

BIG H - it would appear that i am kitting everyone out in matching , shirts, socks and MUGS.

Next year , we can get Gazebbo's , Trailers, Mini's ,Monkey Bikes and hopefully our own brand of beer or wine.


Or i will just get the T shirts for this year.

Mugs - maybe for a few.

And what about a supply of custom designed socks!!!!!!

Wishy

No-one suggested beer glasses with CA logo etched or printed on?

I have enough probblems with Beer  Goggles without "Real Men do it for 24 hours " etched on. I would never get rid of em

Coyote Ugly

Oh go on then, I'll have the socks as well then...

Bill

ps
How big are the Gazebos, will they be good enough to bring home for the back garden, or will they be left for the pikeys?

Own brand beer? I like it, some of that too ta.
 :D :D :D :D 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D ;D

I must have a quick rant.

There are people out there who have missed the payment thingy .

Despite very rigourous checking, i will have 20 un paid for t shirts in 12 days time.

You know who you are. Come on front up
RS2 Babe - I still havent recieved your dosh!!

This is NOT ON people. It is outrageous to think that Robbo might (even temporarily) be out of pocket on this.  Forgive me for butting in, but there it is.  

The threads upto 100 posts. Only 350 odd begind the commer thingy.

I will sort the T Shirts out, if not they will be sold on at MB campsite when i arrive at £10 per go.

Word has it i have a few mugs. I do , but i will be giving them away to a select few. Gilles , Smokie and Grand Fromage to name a few. If they are cheap , and you guys really want one , PM me and i will see what i can do.

Thanks for the words of wisdom about the T Shirts. The one person who has done a real dirty will get a visit if they cant find a good excuse.

I cant name names as the regular posters have all paid up and monies cleared, so naming people wont help , unles you know Schecter from Germany........

Robbo, just checking, you did get the money for mine and Nick's didn't you? (look at me getting paranoid now)

Bill ???

Robbo

There is no way you should be out of pocket, even temporarily. I know that I am not the only one on the forum who feels this way!

Come on people. You must know who you are!!  Check your bank statements. Make sure your cheque has been cashed and not "Lost In The Post"

Robbo, rather than wait until June, I'll take a couple of "extras" off your hands if needs be!

Robbo,

Smokie tells me that I am on your list of people that hasn't paid. Is this so, please let me know, as i sent a cheque off to you on Thursday 29th January. Did it not arrive ?

Thanks
Chris

Robbo, just a suggestion, could you not post a list of who has paid and the cheques cleared that way those that have sent money would know that it has been recieved putting their minds at rest and it will also jog the barstewards that have not.Only a suggestion.
Brian.

Those who haven't paid have been written to more than once, so if you haven't heard you can put your mind at rest.

Other avenues for contacting people have also been explored.

Although the problem is very significant for Robbo's cashflow and sanity, it isn't widespread, and we can easily find a solution.

I'm actually working on the CA wine subject...

if you need any tasting done contact me!!!

Ah well thats my mind at rest.  Incidentially I might need a lrge one in addition to those ordered if any going spare.

Chris 24,  i did put your cheque into the bank. Sorry got mixed up with the SPS money for LM.

Thanks to Colin Brown for the dosh.

I will post up at the end of the week what shirts i have spare. It gives those who kep forgetting to send in the money .

So Chris GR 31 - you may be in luck.

Robbo

MrsRS2 has just advised me that she has ordered said items but has left the payment issue down to me.......

so, in those famous words "cheque's in the post" (honest).....don't get rid of ours..........

cheers

 ???  

Robbo,

Bearing in mind GF runs and pays for this site out of his own pocket, maybe if there is any profit, we could consider giving him his shirt to say thanks.

Just an idea anyway. What do other folks think??

He ordered 7 , i am paying for 2 of those and he's getting a free mug !!
And he will get free advertising for his web site on the SPS trailer.

I personally cant fork out much more.

Had a few beers with him yesterday evening,...
... he promised me  ;) befor to start drinking  ;) to send to you his money pretty soon.

The  T Shirts are printed, and now sat in my Front Room at home.....


I will start sending out the urgent ones , Smokie , Chris GR31 . If anyone else needs them quickly please let me know.

Robbo,

I'd like a teeshirt [large] but it sounds like you don't have any left. if you get enough interest for a 2nd run then include me in.

If by chance a large becomes available, I'll have a cheque in the post sharpish....

Dickie

Robbo,
I would appreciate mine before Sebring if possible.
Thanks
Chris Clark

Send a cheque , i have a large .

Mine isn't urgent!  Not sure if there is another Chris around whose might be urgent!

Most of the T shirts are now ready to go to the Post Office.

for those of you who were either meeting me or wanted to meet at a Pub , wishy / Zarce , let me know when you are available.

Zarce. I am working today from 4pm , then the same on Saturday , are you any where near Havant / Hayling Island ??

Are we considering a meet up / drink / exchange then.  How about this Saturday / Sunday or Wednesday / Thursday next week?

Can do , but as Monsieur zarce lives / works near ish , he was going to collect.

Steve

I have hired the fork lift to take your lot to the posty man

I wanted to put this on a new post so that its clear.

Figures  / Accounts for the T Shirts


T Shirt cost and Postage , inc Envelopes and Plastic wrappy stuff, VAT

£1436.43  


Total monies recieved and Cleared ( inc GF's when it gets here )

£1439.06  

Which maked the total profit to go into the beer fund......


 £2.63

Robbo, I have a beer or two waiting for you at LM.

I think we all do!!

   Thanks  Robbo

income £1439.06, costs £1439.07 = misery
income £1439.06, costs £1436.43 = a finely judged success !!

Proper Job, Robbo - well done and thank you!!

You filthy capitalist profiteering bastard! ;D ;D ;D

Top job mate. As to collection, sorry not around today, stuck in the office with a load of crap to sort out. Tied up tomorrow too. However, could be around your way on Sunday?
Anyway, I don't need them right away, so maybe way till the others come down for a beer and meet up then In Essex on tuesday and Cornwall on wednesday (bad planning huh?) but the idea of a beer on thursday next week is good to me.

So I spose driving to Wales to deliver is out of the question then??

PM

Hmm what is that as an hourly rate spent on the t-shirts robbo?

I think maybe 5p per hour. My boss would probably settle for a new pay deal like that too.

Erm, speaking as someone who's had the whole winter off this site, I seem to have missed a t shirt opportunity. Is the the case or will any more be made available?

Lord Steve

There have been  a few late orderd so i will be getting a few more made up, PM or E Mail me your orders

you are a sucker for punishment! :D

Its for the 2 new people from the USA, they also paid top dollaer   ;D

The T Shirts have been POSTED.

They are in Brown Envelopes ( orders 3 or less )

Or Black Plastic wrapping ( orders 4 or more )


If they havent been recieved by 1st March , please let me know.

some have been sent 2nd Class , some AirFreight , some parcel force .

Any issues or problems , let me know.

* Note for next year - Get someone else to wrap these things for posting *

Hopefully they all fit the pre christmas ordered sizes

Well done Robbo, I'll go stand by the letterbox to take the small package from the postman.
Hopefully he won't put in a compensation claim for a bad back afterwards  ???

Oh Robbo, our hero  :-*  :-*  :-*

What a pleasure it was to be woken by the postman this morning, brandishing a plain wrapped parcel. And what a surpise for the missus that it wasn't something from one of those mail order places in Amsterdam but was in fact Club Arnage t-shirts............Yippee

Once again, well done Robbo for sorting this out for us!!!  Top job sir!!!!

Smokie, when are you off to Sebring. I have Matt and Dave Harper's t-shirts here. If you will be meeting with them when you are over there and assuming they want them sooner rather than later any chance we could meet up so you could take them with you??

Mrs. Gibberish tells me that there is a suspicious looking black plastic package waiting for me home.  Oh joy ;D ;D ;D

Robbo, what can I say :-*

I've just got home and there's a Post Office card on the mat saying there's a parcel at the post office to collect as the parcel is "too big for your letter box".....

.....I wonder ??

Run man....RUN

oh sh*t !!

[attachment deleted by admin]

No Steve..........down to the Post Office  ::)  ::)

Right, just got back from the post office.

Robbo, why have you sent me your dirty washing ??
Do you want the collars starching ??

But seriously folks, bloody excellent job (proper job??).  They're very good, I haven't 'modelled' one yet - not as good as Anna.

Thanks very much Robbo, sterling bloke.

(does anyone know a good hernia specialist?)

Steve , i will be interested to see what your club badge looks like on the t shirts as well.

My lot have got their CA nicknames n the back in red lettering

Yes, I'll be working on that pretty soon now.

Gonna be doing something similar for my lot.  Right sleeve, and back.  Heres hping.

Thoughtful as ever JPC - many thanks! We'll hand over the Rolex and Sebring counterparts to Smokey, when we see him next month(Assuming that's OK with you Smokes......)

Thanks again Robbo,got mine this morning

PM

Got mine as well today.  Sterling job Robbo.

The only complaint is that they are not full of Anna!!

DB

No problem Matt.  :)

Smokey, I'll be heading up to Wembley on Friday so could swing by if you're working from home, if that's convenient of course??

Wish I could be joining you guys for Sebring  :(   Maybe next year!  :D

Robbo - many thanks, mine arrived courtesy of the Post Office today - top job and thanks again for organising the whole thing!   All the best,

Mark

Robbo, ours arrived today also, thanks for a great effort, just hope they look as good on us as they did on Anna.
Thanks again.
The Liverpool Boys.

My only complaint is that she's never been full of me !  :P

I will be organising a second print run. i have recieved a few more orders.

For those of you who have had to change their plans , let me know. The detailsare on page 1 .

The shirts are still £9 inc postage.

They will be printed at the end of March and posted soon after. Then its tough luck for this year.

sh*t, I never realised you were in to masochism  :o   ;)

Just another vote of thanks from here at Pretzel towers. Shirts arrived yesterday (Wednesday) morning and look great.

GREAT JOB ROBBO!!!  Great shirts, great designs!  THANKS!

Tried mine on this morning................Superb :) :)  Even the wife (of notoriously negative reputation) said it looked good.......but I needed to lose some of theold beer belly  ::)

Mine arrived this morning, good effort, nice shirt and fits fine, no to decide what to get printed on the back !
Thanks again Robbo

Thanks. Got mine too.

Mine also arrived this morning, thankyou Robbo for an excellent job in organising this, amd to Big H for the original idea.
Cheers

Yes, we shouldn't forget H for his initial design work  - muchos gracias one and all.

Got mine today, damnd fine they are too. Roll on June..... ;D

Well done....Robbo!!!!

I am suitably impressed by the brilliant service you have offered all the CA members who ordered T-Shirts.Mine arrived today......undamaged by our postal service.

It is all I expected and more........thanks a million and I will "run it in" before the Saturday night and hopefully we will all be able to recognise CA members at the Shampoo bar.........this year!!!!!!

Wishy

Idiot. ;)

Mine are here, they are ACE. Top job Robbo

The postman has found Suffolk !  Fruit of the Loom as well !! Brilliant - thank you.

  and a big thank you from us too,  posty delivered them today, great job, looking forward to june even more now  ;D ;D

T-shirts arrived safely this am - very impressive.  Should cause quite a stir if we're all wearing them on the Sat night?  8)

Thanks very much Robbo.

Mine have arrived now, forgotten why I ordered 3 X large but never mind!

My wife said they looked good, so thats great!

Got home last night after meeting with Steve Brown, Gibberish, JPChenet was worried about having ordered two XL's, but they fit and look great. Thanks again.

Another one arrived safely here, tried it on and went to the pub to show it off, a bit cold, but i was fighting the babes off with a broom handle,m all due to my new status as a fashion leader. It is well known that Crawley girls are choosy but the Tee won much praise.

Well done Big H for a classic design that will, I am sure, last the test of time and redifine the art of T shirt design.

Well done Robbo for getting your sweat shop on the coast to produce a product that so closely follows the design que's of the original.

I am sure we are seeing the birth of a new fashion house to rival Channel, Joe Bloggs and Millets.

Mine hasn't arrived yet  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Simes , i ran out of envelopes.

Not sent as yet :

SIMES  :'(
Perdu
Steve TTTD
Anyone who ordered later on

Waiting for the lady at work to re-order some large ones.

FAN-DABBA-DOZY (as the kids would say).

Which part of Crawley would that be Nordic?  Not Broadfield or Bewbush I bet!

Thanks Robbo, received mine yesterday!!  Excellent !! Not that I'm saying that I am a fat b*stard or anything, but i am glad i ordered the XXL!!

Oy! you leave Bewbush alone, it's great. My office is nearby and I go there regularly to use the Post Office. Well, I say great, actually I call it Hooded Tracksuit Town. The ground is littered with millions of cubes of broken bus stop glass, packs of Burberry baseball capped youths roam the precinct, just waiting for the opportunity to vandalise or thieve and generally it's drowning in the vomit of it's own ethos.  :'(

Incidentally, after a recent visit to Crawley for "refreshment" one evening, being somewhat "over refreshed", I found myself in a Crawley kebab shop at 11.00 at night. There was a typical Crawley mum with her two kids in there. Youngest kiddy was a baby in a pushchair, the oldest was about five, complete with mini tracksuit, shaven head and an earring. He was quite a live wire and was looking at the various foods etc behind the chiller cabinet glass. Suddenly his little eyes lit up as he saw what was rotating on the big stick in the window. "What's that thing, mum?" he said as he pointed exitedly "What is it?". His mother put a caring arm around his shoulders and said, "Son. That's the Donor Kebab". I like to think he had been shown the holy grail. :-X :D ;)

Ahh Bewbush or upper tollgate hill as he called it :o my brother used to live there until he moved to the west bank for a quite nights sleep, all you could hear are the screams and shouts of gangs of teenagers high on cider. Great place.

 

 :-* :-*

Haven't got mine yet so will have to wait until I am back in  Jersey next Monday. I think Mrs RS2 (aka 50cc man) asked you to send them there and not France.

So then you will have Anna, Hannah & Lisa (moi) to model Tshirts and I so want one of those tattoo things but I would like the Audi 4 rings!

Thanks Robbo

RS2 Babe :-*

I have the joy of working in the High Street and its amazing how often we see the police going down to the Jubilee Oak!

Then of course there are the punch ups in the High Street after a few beers, and these start at about midday!  I also found a Crawley mother in the kebab shop, buying a kebab for her daughter and her.  The daughter was in a push chair.

Chris, didn't she ask for chilli sauce on the daughter's kebab?

You won't be surprised to learn the kebab shop to which I refered was the Matter of Taste in the High street, (part news agents, part kebab shop).

Don't you think Crawley has improved out of all sight recently? ???

Actually I do think it has improved a bit, but it will never become civilised because of the dumping grounds for human refuse aka Broadfield & Bewbush >:(

Mine received yesterday

Did I really ordered TWO T-shirts ?

Thanks for the Goodwood sticker too  :-X

Robbo, will you be slipping in some of that tape as promised?

I'm sorry to be last to get Nick's and mine but we were lateish ordering so "No worries!"

Actually knowing it hasn't been posted saves the daily ambush of the postie, you know, "Oi you, why are you stealing my Tee Shirts?"

Audi ring tattoos, nice new idea.... RS2Babe, where are you having that? Same place as Hannah's? :D :D :D

Only fifteen weeks to go, "I'm so excited" cue stupid voice like Disney advert on telly!  :)

No you didnt , but i said i would give you a T shirt for the help in November and you had already sent  money.  :)

Thanks again very much, Robbo. I received the shirts last week while I was away. The FOS sticker is in the back of the car and hopefully will attract some GHermans.  ;D

Robbo

T Shirt recieved...  Bloody good effort... Many thanks...


Kind regards

Dark Warrior

not gonna be able to turn around at Le Mans without bumping into a CA t-shirt wearing drunk.  Cant wait....!

And if other years are to go by, quite a few of the wearers will be from Liverpool, can't wait, I can feel the 100 day count down comin on quite quickly.

And we have another 12 late comers , meaning that we are at

186 T shirts so far.

Just today and tomorrow... tick, tick, tick...  ;D

Robbo and H good job on the T shirt front. just think of it I shall be 1 of 186 people wearing this symbol of ????..... looking forward to the confusion that will arise in the shampoo tent through blaery eyes

Murky Buckets.

Got it Thursday and had an impromtu fashion parade for the Mrs and the kids and the cats.  They were all suitably impressed.

Has anyone had any experience / success / comments about those print-on / iron-on sheets you can get from PC World etc?

I want to 'customise' our CA t-shirts with our club LM logo (about 4" square) and don't particularly want to f**k up a damn good t-shirt.

Ta very muchly.

STEVE

DO NOT DO IT.

My football club tried it in 2002 for a tour and most looked crap after they were ironed on.
The colours dont come out and they looked shocking.

You will ruin the shirts. -

Try finding a T shirt printer , they are popping up in town centres now and will do the business for you , although maybe a little more £££ than you had hoped to pay.

If in doubt , i can ask my friend !!!!

Yes Steve, we use them every year for the official Commer poster/teeshirt.

Generally they are pretty good. They're relatively cheap and easy to produce with a little practice. Get the iron really hot and press down hard!. You should be able to but some cheap white tees for a couple of quid. No point getting expensive ones as the longevity is poor and they are pretty screwed after the sixth trip round the washing machine.

Certainly good enough for Le mans.

I have used these for many years but be aware that they make the area on the T-Shirt considerably thicker. This means that you will sweat more if the picture is large and they are not very flexible.
Make sure that you print them weeks before le mans so as to give yourself more time to get professional ones done.

See you out in Londinium again soon

Nice t-shirt indeed...but you sent me the version with the union-jack on the sleeve and I ordered the one with our own red, white and blue...  ;D

Bartus(who fears to be attacked outof the blue on Le Mans)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Robbo ( who recieved a fake EURO note from Bartus )  :-X

Steve

I intend to do this with mine, but not just yet.  I'm trying to find an old one to practice on first.  I'll let you know how it goes.

I made t shirt for Le Mans last year using the iron on stuff from PC world.
Remember to print a mirror image of what you want !

The thing to remember is not to get the iron/ t shirt iron on print too hot other wise it burns/ yellows  the print. Keep the iron moving over the print at all times. They do start to flake / crack at the edges though after a few washes, and don't like being folded either.

Same one, probably the same women!  The Fastway works haven't half improved the town!

Mind you still no roadworks on my escape route!  About the only road there aren't roadworks!

I tried them some years ago and I found them quite sucessful.  Indeed still using the T Shirts for painting and decorating and the pattern is still there, albeit faded!

I'd suggest practising first though, you don't need to use a full page transfer, and as someone has pointed out the transferred part of the T Shirrt becomes thick and warm!

My guess is you get what you pay for, and I used the Epson transfers, don't know what the cheaper ones are like (probably identical product!)

Don't be silly Chris.  I keep asking, but I still can't find anyone who knows what the point of having those guided lanes is.  Seems bloody ridiculous.  Typical Crawley Council way of causing total mayhem!

Bloody fastway, don't get me started on that giant pile of kak, what a f**k*ng waste of money (£30 f**k*ng million), only goes between Broadfield and the dole office, every shagging shelter is smashed up, two lanes reduced to 1, f**k*ng traffic lights everywhere.
I love it >:(






[attachment deleted by admin]

I can't work out what stops cars driving along the guided route.  by definition of its wide enough for a bus it's wide enough for a car!

Anyway why shouldn't those on the Dole have a decent bus service?  Gets them to the town quicker to spend the money on tracksuits and beer!

The launch of Fastway was right outside our office window.  That was a really exciting event.

The Hawawian Tropic girls had nothing on that.  Oh hold on back to the real world!

To be honest I have nothing against decent public transport, and if I was always going to and from the same places at the same times I'd use it.  But in reality thats not possible!

How the fluck did we get onto bus lanes on a T shirt thread. I can see this turning into a human waste discussion shortly.
Keep the bus lanes.

Been away, will you be having a re run as i wouldl be interested, we can not visit the shampoo bar without one on, no comments Big H.
Paula. ;)

Yeah, I remember cleaning up this thread a while back so it stayed on topic. Have I got to di it all over again?

Paula , yes i am doing a few extra's. The details are on the first page of this thread. i want to go to the printers a the end of March, delivery in April. After that. Thats it for 2004.

Robbo,

Cheque finally went in the post over the weekend, hopefully you should have it today or tomorrow.

Abs

My cheque in the post so should be with you by tomorrow.

Now getting back up to speed on events ;D

got it , thanks

Robbo, I don't want to nag but Nick and I are still waiting. We want ours in time to have our logo on them too. I thought you had them ready, just waiting for envelopes or suchlike.

Bill

Robbo,

How many takers have you had for the shirts now, should be quite a sight on Saturday night. 8)

Yours is sat next to me as i speak. I have been VERY busy at work and have been only getting spare time at time like now ( midnight)  when i cant post them.

as soon as i get my next day off, i will post yours Grand Fromages and Simes out.

We have had 190 succesfully paid for orders.

Cheers Robbo. ;D thanks for the work put into this.

Robbo, thanks, that is all I needed to know. (Guess who's Wife is sitting in the background muttering about sending money out blah blah blah?) Nick asked me two days ago if I had haddem, so I hadta ask, innit?

It is going to be an incredible sight all these teeshirters in the Shampoo bar, mind you I don't expect to see them for long if the session gets serious!!!

You know, I don't think it's long to go now... ;) ;) ;) ;)

 8) 8) 8) 8)

SIMES , PERDU and Grand Fromage.

Your parcels were posted today.

Anyone who wants a t-shirt and ordered recently i MUST have your cheques in 14 days time. NO CHEQUE, NO T SHIRTS    


Anyone who sends in a cheques that arrives after 1st April 2004 will have it returned, NO T SHIRTS.

The second run was to help people out, not to wipe their @rses and chase up money.

 8)

Thanks Robbo, you are a gent, mate.

Right folks just in case you're wondering, Nick and I will be the blokes in the BRG Midget wearing Robbo's t-shirts. Houx Annexe unless the ACO decide they have too much room at Beausejour.....!

 :) :) :) :)

hats next year mate?

Baseball or flat cap ?

Or does everyone want  Socks ?

Or Shorts ?

Oh yeah, a white shirt should match with white shorts and socks quite nicely.  :P

A nice little thong would fit the bill. Just big enough to hide one of Felix's haddock fillets behind.
Did anyone say Brazil?
H

Might have a problem fitting the logo on though?


I have an allergy to wax.  ::)

i see youve cleared 1000 posts steve. well done. no new title though.

Gracias
-  title should be "sad b*stard who spends too much time on a PC"  :-\

Robbo, Can you confirm that you have my cheque?

Cheers,

Dickie

I have recieved payment from

Smokie

Don't know who else will wear theirs on the way down but as long as it isny too cold on the overnight Dover Calais I shall be seen wearing mine on Thursday night and en-route for Houx Annexe...

 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Cheers received my T-shirt today, a nice surprise after working abroad for the last week.

Good news wore mine for the last fortnight, when washed the curry, red wine and phuck stains did not wash out, Rab C Nessbit eat your heart out.

Bit late I know but any t-shirts left???

Don't worry junior yours is here waiting for you in June. I ordered them for all of us and Ian is paying out of the kitty.
Take care.
Brian

well done DAD

Cris was asking me if you are doing a new run - I think his pals want some - but he isn't back from Sebring until later this week.

Yep, 1 x XXL for me, set against MB costs. I will mail Chris to tell him.

Cheques recieved from

Tony Tonelli
Peter Starbar
Mick Wokingham Boys


Thank You


Just remember late orders to be recieved by the end of this month 6 days, after that its tough titty

Robbo, extra loud shoutings from even higher treetops!!
I just formally presented Nickk with HIS t-shirt and he was overw... thingy. Thought you should know that there are two extra satisfied customers now, thanks again.

I hear a rumour that ACO want to sell your special mugs in the shop next the Welcome area. If any left when we gets there (And if I have sufficient funds from my small beer kitty float!!) I could be persuaded to relieve you of one, face it these things will all fetch a bomb on eBay in years to come. If they haven't just been USED!

8)

Last few late order in .

When Mr Zarce and Ferrari Spyder pick theirs up ( ie No Postage ) i have enough to buy a crate of Export 33 or simular. Youre choice. it will be in my fridge at MB, early June.

Mr Zarse has collected his and he is delighted!

Nice to meet you Robbo even though I was worried you were about to arrest me at any moment and deport me to France.

I wouldn't be worried about being dragged to France now, I would be delighted.  ;D

Its the 1st April 2004.

The sun is shinning over the Solent and times up for this years T Shirts.

225 T Shirts have been paid for. Maybe all meeting at the Shampoo bar on saturday night ?

anyway. Thanks to everyone for a little faith about posting your money to a stranger. Thankfully there was nothing to worry about.

Enjoy and just remember Le Mans washing rules. DONT WASH THEM.

See you in June.

Robbo

Robbo, I think it is safe to say ta from all the 225's purchasers....

It is April 1st and in ten (yup just ten!) weeks I will be enroute for La Sarthe. Life is looking better!

 :) :) :)

Bill

Robbo

Forgot to say thanks - don't forget to come by our camp for a swim and a beer at some point (in June)

Toad

Hi, I've just registered. Too many entries to read them all. What does the teeshirt look like?
Any chance of 4 in time for this year's race (!)

 Robbo many thanks for the fine effort, we must have a wet t shirt contest at th eshampoo bar men women and children, all comers  could be funny

Mike, page 4 of this thread half way down shows two pictures of Anna SPS wearing the prototype shirt.

I believe the shirts have already started to appear on E-Bay. One went for £20 last week.
H

 Does that mean that we own collectors items, imagine how much a t shirt signed by all Ca members would be worth

Been out of touch for a while so Robbo, will you be posting my collectors item or do I collect from some point south of Bury (Lancs)

I post them from here, to arrive hopefully at your home.

Cheers Robbo and many thanks. And thanks for the easter greeting, Cool

Following excellent work from Robbo, I am now demoting this to unsticky.

Thanks from us all, won't we look the mutts nuts at the champers bar?  :) :)

Robbo,

Can you indicate an approximate delivery time for my Tee shirt? I hate to keep on [and on]

Thanks [again]

Dickie

Dickie . No , i am waiting for a call to pick them up, but the printers are busy with other projects as well, and my 30 t shirts are a little less profitable than the 10'000 for Portsmouth FC .

as soon as i can find out, i wil ask.

Thanks for that,

'Play up Pompey'

Dickie

No No No No No

Please contact me asap

Click the buttons to the left for e mail, or PM to me please.

everyone else.

The T Shirt lady hasnt started our order yet , a few small issues, will get back when the last 30 are done.

I am picking up the t Shirts from tthe printers on Monday evening.

You should be looking to have recived them by the first few days in MAY.

Sorry if people wanted them for Pre Qual.

Robbo,

Any idea of what parts of the world these T's have gone to. I know that a few are in the States and obviously one in France and Holland there must be more!

UK
?
?
?
?
?

Did Werner have one in Vietnam, or is he back in Europe now?

UK,
France
Germany
Holland
USA
canada AND USA ( by virtue of Smokie )Scotland
Wales


Seems to be the list

The man Smokie moderated my post before i could !!!!

I read on a thread that some of the nladies may not have t shirts!!

It maybe that i have 4 Medium Sized shirts available,

I had thought of trying to give one to Amanda Stretton and one to a Tropic girl, but the others , No Idea..

I would be nice to sell them all, to get my dosh back, but . Thats Life.

At this present time Amanda is the driver of a reserve car.

Not sure she'll run in June !!!  :(

Robbo

we may well have 2 more females attending in June who would definitely want the T shirts if they come.............

put them on "reserve" list and me or Mrs RS2 will let you know asap.....

cheers.

Mr RS2, you do know Robbo only has medium left, sounding better all the time.
Brian.

and if we wash them and tumble dry them they'll be just right for June!!!!

Haven't we all!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D

Brian.

I only have Medium left as there have been further issues with Payments

I will wait until later ( start of May ) to see if payment is forth coming.

Please no joking about payment ideas. I am a little PISSED off now.

Robbo, I was not having a go at you mate, my statement that you only had medium T's left was directed towards the size of the ladies Mr RS2 was enquiring about.
I have stated before that it is sh*t that the people that order and do not pay up, know full well that it may leave you out of pocket.
This then puts people off from performing any other great projects like you have just done.
So to all that read this who owe money pay the man.
On a more cheerful note if you do have a medium left I will take one off you.
Take care.
Brian.

It looks like you may be able to now as the 2nd TVR is in.

Brian -

I will let you know.

As a matter, should anyone want something next year, i would happily offer my services, but a few people would have to pay up way before i ordered.

I will give this person the benefit of the doubt at the moment.

The last batch of T-Shirts are now in my front room. They have been packed up into packages for posting.

They will all be going into the post system on Thursday morning, unless i can get there tomorrow morning.

If you havent recieved yours by Monday or Tuesday please send me an e-mail ONLY. I am away in Europe and Africa for the next few weeks so cant reply and dont want my mailbox full of reminders.

I havent had the "pleasure" of paula yet and wouldnt want to embarress the poor lass.

The last thing she needs is a horny late 20' male fitting a shirt to her !!!

But if asked nicely !!! ;)

I'm sure she would oblige.  She was VERY accomodating at PQ.  :-*

All T Shirts are posted out.

I have 2 mediums for giving to Paula and Jayne and 2 other mediums, for give away's.

Any issues with the shirts please PM me. They should all be with you soon.

The people for the mugs/ They are being done and will be in the trailer for collection at MB in June.

Thanks to those of you who have purchased and those who payed up in October and waited until Feb for the goods.

Hopefully they all fit well and you are please.

Roll on 2005 !!!!!  :-X

I think it's up to us to thank you, Robbo.

Indeed.

Just out of interest - like others we have had additional printing done on ours, courtesy of a local T shirt printers. They managed to mis-spell a name, thereby f*cking up an already fairly unique shirt. They offered to replace it by copying the whole design - the end result being not too bad but with some minor colour variation.

We therefore have the first counterfeit CA 'T' shirt  :)

That's pretty good service.
For the 20 t-shirts I had customised with our design, I had to sign a disclaimer in case they spilt ink over the CA t-shirts.

Yes - I thought so too. I think they had a similar discliamer about making mistakes (these are the heat transfer people rather than ink printers mind) but the poor sod who got the spelling wrong had already made the offer to replace, and I had of course accepted it.

Took a couple of weeks but a reasonable job. I was told by the operative concerned that he was close to getting the sack for making the offer as it was not company policy. I think that a little more apologising when things go wrong and making the effort to make amends goes a long way. I would certainly use them again so it cannot be TOO bad for business eh?

I am pretty sure that dream racers is using my printers for his web shirts, but havent seen them yet.

It's nice to hear stories like this where customer service comes through. Too often we only hear about bad experiences.  :)

It may worth expressing your sentiments re: level of service and therefore repeat business in the future to the management there. As least it may help secure the guys job a little more!!   :)

Steve your sure know I was.
Paulaxxxxxx
Stop trying to put Robbo off.

Paula,  I said I'd be discrete.

So I won't utter another word  :-*

Here's my special Felix's Chippy t-shirt

I'm taking orders if anyone's interested.

I did consider having "Eat my Sausage" on it, but the miserable old lady in the t-shirt shop took offence at that  :(

Paula, all this dirty talk is getting me aroused.

I'm off to check on my battered sausage.

I need one of these t-shirts  ;)

Already done JPC. Not just to try and save the poor sods job. In my view he should have been praised by his manager for taking the initiative and solving the problem to the customer's satisfaction, and I told them as such.

It's one of my pet subjects this customer service business. I'm not directly involved in this aspect of business professionally but it does seem to me that the 'customer is always wrong' (think disclaimers etc.) attitude that pervades all sorts of companies really is negative from all sorts of perspectives.

Well....Pretzel.

As you Know for good customer service I am only a phone call away!!!!...........If you want online help repairing your domestic appliance.....You only have to ask,and it helps if you which end of a screwdriver to use!!!!!!

Just ask Pretzel ....We have fixed his machine on the phone,without charges being incurred for technical advice.

(Sorry guys....not just a plug for my business as we gave already covered this before when Smokie asked a technical question a while ago!!!!)
