I'm sure most would agree, we can usually tell with an encounter like this that it's going to be trouble, instinct!

FTP has done very well for himself so far so I'm sure he did what he felt right for his business at this point in time. ;)

Mind, 18 months ago he might have been grovelling at her knees for that initial chance!!! ;D ;D ;D

It's just that at times you just get 'that' feeling which shouts "steer well clear"

...go with your instincts.

I'm sure that FTP has made a business decision on what he observed...hey we all dump customers for various reasons... I dumped a lady last week for repeatadly using the word' logically' to me when she said I should have done something that we had never agreed upon.

Cheers
Dave.

I hate that word and anyone using it around me will be shot ;D and for repeat use of that word they'll be beaten with a SL-X35ft until all the new type clamps break!!

Repeat use of 'Basically' gets a thorough rubbing down with a copy of the racing post ;).

I have now attached it to my computer so that I can control the flush, waste and good water rates via a wifi remote link through a proxy server within my DMZ.
