  6. Someone has forgotten that a job means you work and customers buy stuff to pay your wages...
     
  7. Yeah to an extent, but respect is a two way thing and I've been in dealers and heard the way some customers talk to staff. If you're being completely bloodthirsty and rude, then yes the dealer might still want your business but you're not building a relationship there. The customer is the lifeblood, but people nowadays are often very entitled and the internet's made everyone an expert...

  8. When I bought my first Ducati back in 2012 I said to Martin at Ducati Manchester “treat me and look after me well and you’ll have a customer for life”.

    He does. They do. I meant what I said.

    I also consider them friends now too.

  9. Its why I use Snells. Do I get the best deal? No. But they are always helpful, we have a bit of a laugh, nothing is ever too much trouble for them.

  10. It’s the same in every industry. Even the bankers are complaining that coke use is down and hookers are special occasion only. Modern poverty

  11. Same deal with Italia in Lincoln. They trust me and I trust them and it's a highly agreeable situation for all. I felt happy to send a good friend there for his Monster last month .

  13. Man-Buns?

    Well exactly what are they all about?

    I would be very lucky if I could grow a crumpet on my head - as would most of us on here.
