MrsT bought ours and she had troubles getting the consultant to deliver it without a demo - she paid and wanted it - but they wanted to give the demo...

I can understand that. In direct marketing, it's the next sale you line up that is more important than the sale you're making, if you want to keep doing business. But yeah, from the customers point, it can be annoying. Also living rural, you get to be a bit more patient as you realise yourself that travelling long distances is not something you can do on the spur of the moment, and you always try to combine multiple activities into the one trip.


Luckily Easter & school holidays is giving me other things to do though, as patience really isn't one of my strong suits.

Russell.

Congratulations Russell - you will love your new baby - mine has been working overtime since last Sunday when I had the demo - I keep on thinking of new things I can try and so far have done 23 different breads, sauces, meals, yoghurts, jam, ice cream, mayonnaise - the list goes on but you will find out how obsessive it becomes yourself.  Good luck, Mil

MIL do you have a large crew to eat all these goodies? That is my problem, getting rid of the things I cook. The neighbours won't answer the door to me anymore. :'(

Poor Cookie, I can just picture you walking up the street with a plate of food in hand and returning with said plate of food and a forlorn look on your face.  Maybe you should move house and get some new neighbours  :-* :-*

I understand your impatience Russell.
I actually haven't ever had a delivery demo!!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Same here. I can see them looking through the shutters.

I don't think I've actually tried any of Mrs Cropley's ideas as yet, but you never know. Perhaps anchovies and chocolate cake may be tasty!

Ho ho ho... laughed out loud! Only funny cuz it's so TRUE!

I must have been the only one who jumped for joy when the kid next door was diagnosed gluten-intolerant  :o  All I could think about was how I could make her some gluten-free cookies in the TMX!

I had teenagers at home when I bought the Bimby but now it's just me, the Bimby, and the neighbours  ... (maybe that explains all the FOR SALE signs in the neighbourhood....)
