1 Send hlb(= haydn) a Private message (PM) saying orlright I'll have one. DON'T
just respond to one of the posts saying oh go on then, cos it's too hard to findem all in amongst these posts.

2. hlb will eventually reply to your PM with a PM to you, to say ok send cheque to (his address details). It's first come first served at the point the cheque turning up. So prps put it in a red envelope in handwriting that looks nice so he'll open yours first. It's probly gonna be £15 quid cos we forgot bout the VAT.

3. It's gonna be best for you to send a stamped addressd envelope with your name and address. This way hlb's wife Tutt can just send the stuff off without fiddling on the puter seeing who's what, or writing out a million addresses.

4. Later, the burgee turns up at your house. Nobody cept haydn knows where all the burgees are, and he'll have lots anyway, aned he won't have typed out any addresses (cos you sent an sae) so it's all nice and private. And he's in Altrincham or somewhere miles away anyway.

5. If he hasn't enuf burgees yerl have to wait for some more to be made, depending on how it goes. Or he'll rip the cheque up so t'wont cost you anything and v decent chap anyway.

Re: £12 plus vat =£15..? nm

Ah but we may have to alter sizes around a bit to make it look right and Pauline says she needs bigger ones to go round her thingy when making bikini out of them!

Re: Wassit look like then?

Bloody hell. I've been waving it about all over the place.
And if you go to Boat Ones site it's there only bigger.
To qualify you must of course read all 120 odd replies lower down.
Then PM me when you decide.

Well I've PM'd him twice asking for his address to send cheque to, told him twice on the thread that I want one and what has he done?

Bugger all.

Not heard a word. Silent. Zilch, Nada, Nothing.

So it looks like he's using the same sales technique as everyone else in the boating business.

If I have to wait much longer I'll end up getting SWMBO to knit me one.

Tch I dunno, just can't get the staff these days

Knitting

Well why do you think he's not replying? Should be obvious, Haydn and Tutts are far too busy knitting and embroidering to answer your silly PMs, are the local sheep are cold and bare!!

BTW Don't get them wet or put them in the wash, they'll shrink just the same as nuts in cold water!!!

Re: Knitting

Still trying to catch the bloody sheep!
Tried Dirty Harry the donkey hair but it wont knit.
Slight change to program.
We've got White sheep. Black sheep and black and white sheep. No blue ones or yellow ones!!
Will they do.
Who supplys all the different coloured sheep anyway. I cant find any.

!Just become aware that not only are folk moanin cos your not responding to their frantic need fopr a flappy thingy but youve also nicked my little flaggy for your personal use. I saay old chap, I know your from north of Watford and niceties tend to get lost in the nitty gritty of down to earth day to day life but how would you like it if i nicked your little thingies without so much as a by your leave!
Sorry, had to mark you out of order as a pennants (pennance?......)
Normal service will be resumed as soon as colaholic lets me know youve satisfied his desires.........OH...The Power.............its delicious..

Re: Oy mate thats my burgee!!!!

But I've not pinched yer flag Tony. I said some place that you'd druddled it. I'M JUST ADVERTISING IT FOR YOU.
Of course you get the royalties. And comision.
The Flag is on it's way. Then when I've got the sample. And ironed out the wrinkles. Made sure that its got a proper bit of cord to tie the bugger on with. Then I'll tell you all how much and where to. Else there will be cheques flying about , back and folwards. I needed to know about how many flags wanted'ish. To pay for the set up costs and spread them about a bit.
Please alter sign. To say. Dont get knickers in twist. Flags on way.

Well. This wasn't quite what I had in mind. But suppose it will do.
I feel like one of those blokes with a sandwich board round his neck!! Oh hell I've changed again. It's a bit like being Jeckel and Hyde. With tree different pictures in one day!!

Dont forget to order your Burgee. PM me.
