cowers lane 583

Had an era style head, I think stamped "Wickes". 695 seems worth a punt, if the customer comes back , especially seen as I probably, have it in stock, somewhere.

Has anyone come across this. Just had a customer, everything about the key was 335b pro-fit era. But the bit on my blanks( both JMA and Birch) were too short. Cut it on a universal on the end. See if that works.

Thought I'd try some sovereign, black laces on a black background and virtually completely black packaging. Does not work for me, back to Dasco.

Stopped doing mechanical watches about 5 years ago, too much grief, one of my better decisions.

My whole business life seems to be a constant cycle of feast and famine.

Always just used UL1/U5-D

I think the moderators will move it.

You could try the "magic " Silca PH9, cb 6916, works on a lot of these type of older locks. Other references are Lwfu2 HD, LC-3D SKS. Is this in the wrong section? Mike.

Looking at Lee's post, going to not rock the boat. Leave the situation as it is.

Bit alarming when they put, "one off key" actually on it .

When running a shop, it's important to keep concise, and professional, notes, in order to avoid any unnecessary reordering mistakes.

So I've got a situation that has gone on for far too long. I've been serving this customer for the best part of 18 years. He's still essentially paying 2000 prices, although I recently managed to increase the prices a little. A £20 watch he is buying for £7, up from £5. A ridiculous situation I know. Completely my fault for letting it go on. I am very certain there is an underlying mental health problem, that's him not me. He sometimes buys a watch a week, never returns them, and doesn't care what it looks like. I am certain he is not reselling. Last week he came in for a high security padlock for a shop, I said they really start at least £30, and suggested some places as that is not really my range. He bought an economy padlock for £2.50, in the end. He asked for exactly the same thing yesterday, this time I just said no.

My average transaction time is 20/30 seconds, on paper not long, but feels very long when customers want/expect to tap and go. Is anyone quicker, I believe it might be down to my phone line.

Probably end up getting a human rights lawyer forcing me to change it to "compassion",

It's a word I've used once in fifty years. I've no plans to use it again, seems to cause too much fuss.
