Think another company I worked for also had issues with pts, we all received email not to use anymore, best I could find out was it was over an invoice.

Branch manager could hit profit margin if they screwed "non native" accounts. Perfectly acceptable within system an no one accountable.
Banned from having an account at Plumbcenter for refusing to pay a £40 late payment charge, although as I know all the lads there I still buy some boiler spares from them if they are competitive
Banned from having an account at Travis as I ran up my old mans account when he was in hospital dying of cancer and I tried to get his dream new build finished so he could at least see it before he went, he didn't see it and when the then manager kept sending payment demands to my mother (after me taking a copy of his death cert in to the branch) I had a bit of a word with him. Result was him moved to another branch in a different part of the country and me recieving a letter telling me my custom was not welcome, or something like that
The only time I go into Travis now is to get a bacon roll of my old mates missuss burger van

Had a similar thing with Grahams got a quote for 2" galv barrel they came back with a 75% discount so we went with them as the job progressed we needed a load more of said pipe so ordered from Grahams guess what they charged full list price, Told them to do one they wouldn't reduce the price and we ended up closing our account paid what we thought we owed after a couple of months they stopped contacting us never used them again fecking scumbags:cuss:

I thought about that but there was no seat on it. I have my standards.

Made up x2 c/c toilets and basins ready to fit in parish hall Men/Womens, few hours each night. Placed out of the way in the corner. Came back following day, went to move the toilet in the ladies, lifted the lid and it looked like the log flume in there!
I've often wondered what would happen if I actually did turd one out in the display toilets in the merchants. Now I know.
I still think it would be funny to do though. I'm not sure the sales staff would know quite how to react to be honest.
You could then ask if they had a bidet on display you could also try....product evaluation.

Can I suggest that you try it out at our Petersfield branch?
"Big Paul" has retired from the Iron man circuit, and it's been a while since he last towed a double-decker with his teeth, but I reckon he's still capable of shoving a full size WC pan (complete with steaming content) down a human throat.
Of course, I may be wrong. Bless the scientific method, that tests these things...
Good and bad from my local PC, two guys that work there.....one the manager top bloke and very helpful, the other seems a sandwich short!
If I go in and the numpty is on, you can see his lips start to mouth we haven't got that before I even ask for what I need!!??!
If the manager is on he will do his best to find it or get it in for the next day!!
It's also a bathroom showroom so plenty of display bogs to choose from if you're caught short :001_9898:

most merchants i deal with are ok, tho they will give you a good price to get you to open an account and then a month or so later the price will rise on most things unless you constantly push.
Plenty of items are cheaper in screwfix or even cheaper on ebay if you can wait for them. honeywell 3 port valve is a very good example. I dont know what ray knocks them out for but the merchants by me are mega expensive.
