hey

i am harolds grandson, scott. i owned & enjoyed working at greenways for 13 years before selling up to andy, whom i wish the very best. you guys are out of order for criticising. have you been that side of the counter? in the main, the customers are great, but some of the punters involved in fishing are the dregs of society. think about these; dennis @ kingsbury, terry @ bac, mark @ fosters, avery @ bloxwich. etc. are they known for their friendly demeanor? most have been dealing with prats all of their working life! it gets to you after a while. you try to make a conscious effot to be nice, but if the last guy you served was abusive, you can't help but be rude or defensive to the next fella.

we've all been asked to return things to suppliers as faulty, when they were purchased off ebay, or worse still, not faulty but neglected. we've all had punters who have very little product knowledge actually thinking they know better cos they may have worked part time in a shop in the past, or have fished for 30 years. decent angler makes you a product expert?? crikes, i've driven a car all my adult life, doesn't make me a mechanic. and as for bait? jeez, some people think that really light casters are great, others like them crispy red, some think squatts should be served neat & moan they're being robbed [they're served in sand, otherwise they perish], the list goes on. give the guys a break.

most independents are not limited companies, they'll be funded by borrowng at some stage in their lifespan. could be secured on the family home? imagine how quiet it is in january, snow on the ground, dark early, see about 5 people all day, then some tosspot comes in to tell you how he got a great deal on his daiwa pole off the ethernet, or market. you can't help but get racked off with these guys.

all the best
