Not today...but a little bird tells me they'll be doing the WEBFREE thing
as from tomorrow.
That's free delivery on orders over £10.
So some people might want to wait a day...

they didn't come up with it as a possibility, when I asked them about
dealing with both companies from the same account. I wonder if it actually
works for the 'type' of account that I now predominantly use, which is a
corporate credit card, rather than a monthly credit account, which I also
have, but rarely use ?

way that you'd put it, and was just wondering if you'd remembered me from
when I was doing all the counter and stuff at the burger place, and figured
it must be me that ran it, which then didn't stack up with having the
Farnell account :-)
Can you believe that last night was its first anniversary ? The counter is
still standing, so I guess that I must have designed and built it right !
Still doing OK a year in. Wouldn't hurt for a bit more, but I guess we
should be glad that in the current economic climate, we are still able to
pry the customers away from their football, to come and buy our wares. Few
new flavours of burger and milkshakes gone on the menu, and you can now have
onion rings instead of chips. We had to redo the menus so that every single
item says "with chips". We originally had it in big letters at the top of
the menu and on the menu board inside. We then added a sign on the counter
and one in the window, both stating that all our burgers come with chips.
And still just about every person that came in asked if the could "get chips
with that" or "does it come with chips". I swear that they can't actually
read ...

Glad the counter is holding up (it looked a good job) and glad the
business is doing ok, we're in a similar position here (totally
different sector) and I have to remind the other parties that doing just
ok is damn good in this climate when others around are dropping like
flies.
Agreed, people do not read, the only suggestion I can make it to have a
huge pic of one of your burgers with fries in the window and prominent
text such as, 'All our burgers come with fries!'. Add one beside the
counter and point to it every time they ask, saying, 'they sure do' in
the nicest possible voice they can manage after the 50th time. Maybe if
the staff make a joke of it their mates will take the piss and it will
be the standing joke.

around by the counter. He then called them over again, and pointed to a sign
on the counter which has a large picture of a milkshake on it, and said "It
says on there that it's £1.50 ..." "Yes" they said "But it also says 'when
ordered with a burger' " Clearly, he had been able to recognise the picture,
and the amount of money, but been unable to read the rest.
It's a sad reflection on the state of education now in this country. One of
my daughters is home at the moment, and she has been watching that dreadful
Big Brother thing that's managed to resurrect itself on Channel 5. I caught
a bit last night, and I couldn't believe just how thick they all were. Not
just one or two. Not even some of them. But pretty much ALL of them. They
honestly haven't got a clue about anything at all. No wonder nobody wants to

actually get asked too much for soft drinks, as the main attraction in that
regard is the 30 - odd types of milkshake on offer. We do of course keep
coke and 7 Up and indeed cherry coke - but only in tins. Gravy on chips
ain't popular in this neck of the woods. It's more a curry sauce sort of
area. But you can have the homemade chilli on 'em ! Not quite the same, I
know, but in the same ballpark ... :-)
