I had a delivery yesterday from them but couldn't open it as I had to dash out straight to work.
The first thing I noticed is that it had been packaged ''differently''? Everyone on here who has received their package from Williams & Co said it came in a box (except you want to assume they were lying). Mine came in a long tube like.

Anyways, this morning, I opened it up. Took out all the bits I had ordered, then TWO packets of some kinda sweets popped out. The kids were having their breakfast at the time, but they made a bee line for the packets. How on earth did they know what the packets contained instinctively? Funny thing is, missus told them to put it back, telling them it was some kinda plumbing product, and not sweets? They ripped the packets opened regardless and yep, it woz sweets. Missus now told them they can't eat it as they have just had breakfast. You will all have a stomach upset she pleaded. Fat chance. They went 4it.

Trouble is, before they left for school, they told me to hurry up and place another order. @@Don't go buying anything from the shop counter again dad. Just have it ordered''. This is madness. What was RAY thinking about when he went down this route of free treats in all ordered packages/fittings???

I have decided to recycle the tube. I will cut it down to about 8 pieces and sow some award winning carrots in them.

CHEERS RAY. I don't know how you do it, but I like it (well, the kids do 🙂 )
 
LOL.

We didn't have a box the right size and shape for your order VI. Fortunately, our neighbours here are a carpet warehouse, and we have a deal with their warehouseman to scrounge the carpet roll cores, which I think we used to protect some lengths of CP tube inside.

We can start sending fruit and vegetables if you like? 🙂

No, do not send fruit and veg. I intend to grow mine. Initially I thought of what to do with the tube, then realised it need not be binned. Just go to the allotment and use it. But it did serve the purpose it was meant for. My pipes were well protected and all orders met.

SATISFIED AND HAPPY. cheers. Just keep up the good work
 
if the cores are cardboard you can grow prize carrots parsnips and leaks in them
note to self read the whole thread befoire typing
