The problem is Haz that you have reacted quickly to criticism and come back with a comment about not wanting an Asian lad to succeed.
Now I don't know about what has gone on locally to you and between you and another poster local to you but you have drawn that inference about your race/nationality before anyone else mentioned it.
Down here in Bristol, Asians run four of the local rank of six shops near me. Good luck to them as all I see is a hard work ethic over long hours presented politely and professionally. My neighbour is from Bulgaria and runs a facilities company. Opposite is a Romanian vet.
We all get on fine and they are all younger than me. Don't rise to the bait and don't see ghosts which may not be there.
For the record I have no issue with Haz and I'm not a hater of him or of anyone else of his race or any other race for that matter. He operates in a totally different area to myself so neither of us are in competition with each other. The first time and last time we met each other was at the NVQ training course. And yes, I have no idea who got an NVQ certificate or who didn't on that course.
From a business perspective some things he says on the forum about his business don't make sense to me. I once queried the amount of water he says he uses a day for the number of vans he has on the road as the figures he quoted didn't make sense to me. I commented about it and got the old response of being clueless.
I didn't take that to heart.
I purely asked for proof of his statement about MB400 being better than MB115. Where the hater came from and the flashing up of the race card I have no idea.
Again just for the record, we know there was a shortage of resin recently and I had a wait for a shipment. I was looking around at the time for another source. When Haz posted his post my first thought was; "Goodie, another supplier I could tap if resin was an issue in the future, and on my doorstep as well."
Over the years I have heard salesmen hype their product up to get a sale. I'm the first one to ask for proof of the statements they make.
Haz, I'm sorry if you have taken my postings as having a hatred for you. I haven't. In fact, I have the utmost admiration for the way you have grown your business even if you run it in an unconventional (to me) manner. To add; if I spotted you working opposite me in a road, I would stop and have a chat to you the same as I do with any cleaner I see. I personally don't have an issue with you at all.
