    there’s a good few sign firms called impact mate. the one from the boards you are maybe thinking on is Impact Sign Solutions, who supply the trade with vehicle livery. however, the Impact i "think" you might have seen will be Large orange text ?

    hope your getting thru your workload easy enough on "my territory!" 😉 :lol1: :lol1:

    safe travels mate.

    Now look Harrison, that was a polite joking reply, don’t you go starting turf wars now. :lol1: :lol1:
    anyway, we train our staff to pee against all our signs just to let others knows who’s on who’s patch. 😉 :lol1:

    Phill stood his ground and didnt pay the ransom for the safe return of his sign. we shown video footage of the poor thing in an orange boiler suit being lowered into an insinerator screaming its wee head off, but nope, he didn’t cave in, that Fenton is one heartless tough cookie!

    anyway… 😉

    Don’t think you can throw me off the scent using the old "Double Bluff" Rob. I know it was one of your mob that took the sign. Too much of a coincidence that on the day the sign went awol one of your lot was in the area. Now you think you can convince me that it wasn’t you by pretending that it was…. only your not pretending right? 😕

    I am being invaded!!!! (:) (:)

    Actually I’m getting a lot of business from the other side of Manchester at the minute. The local market is polluted with sign shops and it makes fierce competition, someone will always better a quote.

    The recent customer base I have found all say the same thing. Their local sign shop went bust, and those that are there take too long to get back to them! It’s my little gold mine!

    Thanks for the offer mate…
    Wish i could, but trouble is, when I am out on the road i normally cram as much in as possible. travel thru the night and often fit signage during the night also. by time i get to places like london i can have two depots done already. a break and something to eat then on with another depot. by then im ready for my bed. :lol1: might seem a bit odd, but zero traffic jams, roads are quiet, sites are empty and you can just get on with it. 😀
    i could still have time to pop by, but ide probably be sleeping once i sit my backside down. 😉 :lol1:
