durham light infantry Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Election night will be the first late night. Come along and escape the media frenzy with trains and fast food. Any mention of politics or the election will cost a 1 pound forfeit for charity.

Sir Hadyn Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 All the best for it Mike, I still have some bits and pieces you might like to consider that we spoke about!

puddlejumper Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi Mike Brilliant news for you and brilliant news for modellers in the North East of England (and everywhere else I guess). It is a fantastic little shop and I am sure you will do very well there. Cant wait for the opening day and watching you encourage your customers to spend their money wisely with no hint of any Arkwrightisms So hold onto your cash gents as Mike is back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted April 18, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2010 Simply holding on to your cash is not enough, an excuse like not having any is no use either. Gold teeth (he has pliers) and even kidneys (model shops stock scalpels) are suitable currency when Mike is around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-farms Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I suppose the key question no 1 has asked is. What goodies models/food/celebrities etc. will be on hand on the opening day? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durham light infantry Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 I suppose the key question no 1 has asked is. What goodies models/food/celebrities etc. will be on hand on the opening day? There will be food and drink available, and I am working on suppliers for some opening day goodies. I also have a number of purchase led incentives to keep you happy at all times. There will be a website too, which is currently under construction and should be going live at the same time.

And I'm sure everyone will give you all the help and support - just remember us all when you've made your first million! Here's hoping! Thanks Fiesta. I don't expect to make a million, nobody ever will out of model railways. I just want to make a living and enjoy it at the same time. It's bloody hard work at the moment, and scary and exciting at the same time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiesta Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 You'll be fine Mike - you have a lot of people behind you wishing you well probably more than you realise - and if you get up on a morning and look forward to going to work - well that's what counts. I think it will do well and hey next year - who knows - Shop No. 2!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
