Hi Stephen, Surely you can't buy customers for otherwise they would be perhaps be products or services, or am I now equally confused ?!?! Gibbo.

I don't think I would be buying the customers - there's legislation against that, going back to 1807 and 1833 - just taking them home with me. My willingness to do so would depend, obviously, on the quality of the customers on offer. Edited June 10, 2021 by Compound2632 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the 2 meters are straight and even the bottom edges line up, well virtually. One time I had to mount a plate on a wall for a customer. I looked at it and asked how he wanted it mounted, given there was two there already. In the centre he said, but, but how do want it mounted I asked again. The reason was that of the existing pair, one leaned to the left the other to the right. So I mounted mine square in the centre. In theory, I could have correctly aligned all 3 and indeed would have if it was my place, but it wasn't and I'm not legally allowed to touch those other plates, even though the same size as mine! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
