I can't elighten you on Mr. Ashe as the tyseley shop was before my time. Geoff Eardley was around that lot wasn't he? He's still running matches in Tamworth I believe.
Teepots reading skills may be limited. Why would I not approve of you as a tackle shop customer? I presume you ignored my observation of customers in the main & the fact that I enjoyed my work. My point was to illustrate why so many tackle dealers are thought to be miserable.
I take on board the elequent point about jumped up shop assts, the snide comments though are unnecesarry. Just a thought, but some sales assts may well actually have superior product knowledge, through visiting the manufacturers, supplier training, advice and the like. As you ended the pitch about the joys of mail order, what exactly do you buy from your local then? Terminal gear? Bait? Demand a discount as well do you? Hmm. Mals no.1 customer no doubt.
