Unless you have transgressed against the unwritten code, obviously. Then you get blacklisted. 🙂

Its really easy. Deliveries on our own vehicles don't come with biccies. So you get deliveries (presumably from Nigel in Southampton, or possibly StevieD from Fareham). You get the pleasure of their witty banter and repartee, but have to make your own calorific arrangements.

When we started the ecommerce thing, we felt the loss of control over the selection of drivers, since we obviously don't control the carriers choice of driver. The last thing we wanted was a customer's primary impression of us being a miserable git of a driver, so we started including packets of jelly babies with orders. Not many people can resist smiling when given jelly babies. But jelly babies get boring after a while, so we ring the changes, and a big favourite is the biccies.

Unless you have transgressed against the unwritten code, obviously. Then you get blacklisted. 🙂

And and here's me thinking it was because you loved us.

And and here's me thinking it was because you loved us.

There's a reason why there are signs up at Zoo's that say 'Don't feed the animals'

That's the same reason why Ray sends out goodies with his delivery's.

Congrats Ray!

Will we find your face now stamped on the boxes?

 

[Riley]

I fear ive transgressed at some point. I can't believe I haven't :wink:

 

[Ray Stafford]

Will we find your face now stamped on the boxes?

Not likely. Can you think of anything more offputting?

Whereabouts are you?

I fear a big pic of ray on the works vans would likely put me off my vinegar stroke

 

[Ray Stafford]

Funny you should say that. As I was parking my Hyundai outside the solicitors, I couldn't help noticing a Ferrari and a Porsche 911 parked outside. I asked the senior partner which was his, and he replied "both".

Seriously.

I got his bill today.

Suffice to say I fully expect to see a Maserati join the Ferrari and Porsche next time I visit.

Whereabouts are you?

Dundrod, just been to Ballymac for meal after watching point to point and losing money on horses,

Well done Ray. Well deserved. Hope your outfit grows stronger and keep prices reasonable as always. Have a drink on me.

Well done Ray 😛arty:
All the best with your venture and i hope you pull it off big time. You deserve it.
Forget the Maserati's. Next stop St Andrews. The let you in with a Hyundai and they are much more practical for the golf clubs :wink:
