A little bit of humour usually stolen, a little bit serious, a memory or two, the odd rant, and somtimes am argument just for the sake of it.

WeatherSeal. Never Deal.

You visit your newsagent with your 45p ready in your hand to buy your daily paper and you are told, "That will be £10. today, but, as we have a special offer it is only £5."

"Oh, you think that is too dear do you? Well, buy it right now and the cost will be, best we can do, £2."

"OK, I have the editor on the 'phone, his special offer is £1."

No, that is not the way to sell papers, it's not the way to sell anything.


"Best price for eight double glazed windows supplied and fitted please Mr WeatherSeal representative" I say.

"£14.900." he says.

"Do I look daft?"  I ask.

"£9.700" says he.

"Far too expensive" says I.

"£6.500." Managers special offer just for today.

"Good bye" I said.

It was maybe unfortunate that he was accompanied by a young man that had just joined the company that day and starting his career as a salesman.

With a deduction of, so far, £8.400 just how much profit do this company hope to get from us mugs?
