Eukaneuba gave you a bag of dog food ? Barbour gave you a free jacket ?


I am assuming that Landrover gave you a free car to take away all the freebies in ?

mags (as in magazine) literature as in info hey not asking for much please read thread and dont interprete it your way

I don't know if it was you - but I was there when, In all fairness to Nigel, he dealt with a bloke who asked for the current issue after taking out a subscription as a freebie.

in other words he tried it on to get an extra free (current) issue after having a decent saving of 6 issues for under a tenner - fair play - you don't get if you don't ask.
But the same guy then flounced off like a floozy when this was refused with not even a thanks. Come on guys - politeness costs nothing after all.

At no time was a badge asked for - indeed all weekend we were giving badges away without being asked.

So, if not having a badge is your problem - send me a SAE and i'll personally post you one.

it was not me as i did not take out a subscription as you said in your thread

[billrobo]

Can I have a free badge to? Huh? Huh? They're dead good them. Gawn mister, be a sport, you can afford it etc.

The badge every one keeps refering to is or was a small temptations for the young ones of our sport to get some how involved in for my youngest son aged 9 i do take it they where for the young ones and not the older ones but there is no shame in having one after all i do have lots of old wagbi bagdes that tempted me when i was going to this shows 30 years ago

<yawn> Grow up.

Seriously, one thing that REALLY gets on my tits is people trying to get something for nothing. I suppose if you really must ask then do so, but to go on to make a song and dance publicly when you don't get what you want really does make you look rather petty. And cheap.
