Try General Banner they are in the UKSB toolbar we use them all time customer service and pricing is really good plus delivery is quick. 😀

[Gary Hamilton]

Our answer to any calls like this is simple.We say to them you give us the work and we will pay you once we have completed it as you dont go into asda and pay for the goods then go back when you need them :lol1:
They soon retract there offer and dont bother us again.

Hi Nigel,

Just wondered how you got on getting that printer down them stairs and if the pub next to hotel in Newcastle was any good,promise wont tell anyone if you enjoyed it in there but you did make a nice couple 😛

On a serious note though thanks for all the help and advice you gave me on tuesday and next time I wont forget the beer

Gary

hi Peter
We take payment by debit and credit card as well as cardholder not present (for phone and email orders).
Since offering this what we have noticed is that most customers prefer it and it saves us on paperwork .
The other plus is when they confirm order we can take a deposit or full payment straight away especially no account customers as almost everyone has a some "plastic" on them.
Down side is the transaction charges by the banks but we have a notice up saying that a % charge will be made for using chip and pin up to now we have only had one or two comments .
Your comment on it becoming a cash free society is totally correct and before we know it we will be paying via thumb print from our accounts for all purchases at least we wont lose the loose change to the wife’s hidden money jar or in the street on the way home from the pub 😀

[Gary Hamilton]

great and i will be the other bald bloke looking really confused. :lol1:

[Gary Hamilton]

I will be calling at your stand tomorrow in newcastle so will if my sidekick remembers will bring you a beer.
Really looking forward to it as well as its normally my son that goes to them but the workload to heavy so be gentle and dont confuse me with too much jargon
Gary :lol1:

[Gary Hamilton]

dont you know anyone with a larger printer that could run it off for you.

[Gary Hamilton]

BTC all the way service and price are really good, they also supplier xpress film and lots more.
Another company we use is Ralawise they are good but delivery a bit dearer for before 12 delivery.
As for a heat press I would look at rental to start and see how it takes off ,you can rent them cheaply from target transfers and a couple of others for about £16 a week and there no long term commitment either .
Hope that helps
Gary

Hi
If your on about Hp printers have a chat to Jill from William Smiths,the hp8000s is really good but she will explain more and can arrange a demo for you.
One thing I will say is only get one if your getting the work in for it otherwise sub the work out and take your cut as it may sound good to buy a printer but what money are you going to get from it
Gary

[Gary Hamilton]

depends on how many you want but try listawood ,target transfers or BMS .then also you have Ralawise or BTCactivewear
Hope that useful for you
Gary

[Gary Hamilton]

Sorry Martin typing error missed a key(i posted reply from my notebook pc and the buttons are very sensitive) should of been GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHTS: 2,917kg ,nice to see you quick off the mark but just think of the fuel economy if it was 2.917kg

Thanks
Gary 😳

Note to myself read your posts 3 times before submitting!!!!!!!!!!!! (-)

Hope this will help clarify a couple of things as far as speed limits go for vans as I am a DSA registered driving instructor alongside running sign company and get asked this question a lot.
Firstly a citroen dispatch has a gross vehicle weight(laden of 2.917kg) so even if empty comes under the ”2ton” rule”’
It’s always been possible to drive vans under 3.5t on a standard car licence – and consequently many van drivers assume that the same rules and speed limits apply to them as when they are driving a car.

Unfortunately, that’s not true.

Car speed limits only apply to vans of under 2 tonnes maximum laden weight – meaning that any Transit-sized van is excluded.

Instead, a separate set of speed limits apply; for vehicles with a maximum laden weight between 2 tonnes and 7.5 tonnes (all Transits, Sprinters, etc.).

Here are the speed limits that apply to Transits and similar vans:

Single Carriageways: 50mph

Dual Carriageways: 60mph

Motorways: 70mph
hope this helps out could go into more detail etc but if unsure best bet stay at the lower of the limit for the road that your on and remember it takes longer for a van to stop than a car

[Gary Hamilton]

Yeah i think he will be ok as i have decide not to let him take company cheque book as he got a habit of buying everyone drinks on company at parties then puts it down as networking .
He has already commented on how could pull a few good looking girls but dont think his 2 girlfriends (long stoey) would like it :lol1:

[Gary Hamilton]

WE started off in our garage it lasted about 4 months then the council stepped in and told us to shut down as it was not the type that could be run from a garage due to the increase in vehicle traffic etc.
All the neighbours thought it was great to see someone working as they passed and loved to watch a car etc get signed up but it turned out one neighbour didnt like the idea of someone doing better than them.
It all turned out well we got a small shop just round the corner,ok it costs but it put 2 fingers up at the neighbour that moaned and the others still come and watch the work been done.
So as the others have said keep neighbours sweet and wait to see if council call but dont call them play dumb if they turn up and then have a word with the offical he will guide you for free so saving you money to find out
:lol1:

[Gary Hamilton]

noel,
do they have a webiste heard of that stuff before but not been able to trace it that how ended up getting the evostik stuff

[Gary Hamilton]

try tar and glue remover also evostik do a glue remover that really good.plastic blade and loads of elbow grease then give your dad the bill.We just done a transit covered in reflective and once it was eventually done buffed it over with t cut it looked like new .but if you want a machine to do it look on jag they got a machine but it expensive so if it going to be a regular thing maybe worth buying :lol1:
