Haha! I think he's enjoying the job. I haven't managed to catch up with him for a proper chat for a while - I don't think he has his personal mobile with him during the day, and I've been working silly hours past couple of weeks...

Some L. Some XL. MJ was honest and went for XXL. I think Leo21 asked for FC.

Tad disappointed in a few of the later comments that it's been fixed I sincerely hope it doesn't put ray off in the future , I put my name in like everyone else.
i just hope it was due to getting caught up in the hype and a few sour grapes.
again Ray much appreciated fella

Not being involved other than an innocent bystander on the sidelines, cracking thread, suspense was killing me and I was just watching. I think the 'fix' calls were all part of the banter in the thread, well that's how I read it all.

As far as I am concerned, yes. I sent the original list to Ideal, and they came back with the 6 they wanted. No runners up or reserve - just 6 names.
So as far as I can tell, each of yesterday's rejects have an equal chance of being todays "most envied/hated plumber with a freebie". 🙂

Ray has any other of the big name manufacturers ever do anything this generous as ive known a few occasions where ideal have done good deads for custs etc but never hear any mention of another manufacturer doing the same.

Dunno, social media is still relatively novel in our game.
Lots of them have been very helpful in supporting a kids sports team that I am involved with, but I can be very persuasive. 🙂

Sorry Gasman - the offer of a jacket is withdrawn.
You'll have to put up with a 32kw Vogue boiler instead.
Dont leave us suspense like that Ray!
Does he still get his jacket or what? The tensions killing me!

That is actually less than I've been quoted.
I've got £1171 inc vat, with flue. Which is what? 40+ vat?
As for where I've been, busy with the child!

Well, either buy it from us, or use our price to beat up Plumbcentre. Either way, you're a winner, and I love the smell of squealing national in the morning.
Good man.

yes but this particular welsh man can run rings around you

You can fit it in your own home (or a rental) - but since the photo's and video may get used as part of Ideals promotional activity, then the customer will need to consent. What arrangements you make with them regarding sharing the freebie benefit is your business.

that is only coz croppie and I both think running will kill you in the short term

along with the graveyards the following friday, my missus actually came across a dead jogger a few years back when walking the dogs, he wasnt as fit as he thought sadly enough!
Oh that's nice LP!!
Congrats to the winners. Thanks to Ray and Ideal. I genuinely need a new work jacket. Ripped the armpit of my current jacket so it's come at the perfect time!

Well I had a turn up yesterday. Had to change a set of kitchen taps at a rental property. Got to the place at about 5pm. Taps handle actually snapped off. So said to tenant. I will pop to Homebase which is 2 mins away, but if their taps are twice the price of my merchants I'll be back tomorrow.
Got to Homebase. Prices for taps, almost twice that of the Toolstation catalogue. Asked a bloke (happened to be the manager) if they price match...this was on my way out empty handed, and was told yes they would. Which saved me a god awful journey through traffic to the industrial estate. I was shocked, but in a good way. You don't ask you don't get I guess.
On the same subject I asked for a CM927 at Williams the other week. Sold out. Went to my other merchants, asked if they could price match. They couldn't as they said they pay more per unit themselves. Which I believe as I've used them for about 18 years and know the blokes on the counter well.

Ideal are from hull, fashion isn't a mainstay of life in hull. Few years ago I got an ideal bomber jacket. (Right said Fred)
Baxi or bloke must play tennis on guys cliff rd with Slazenger rep as before they were Berghaus they were always shoddy !! Valliant Scruffs ones are ok but the stone islands ones from heat line are the dogs.
