Iain give us the time & date that you will be dancing naked at the town hall so we can get the local news team on to it. There are a lot of old ladies and young girlies after that lad and its them who make up the majority in voting. Big tits Ruth got my vote every time.

 

A lot of hot air being blown in the direction of a new poster, hope he can stand the heat and keep from getting scortched. Keep with us Tackhead they are just Pussycats realy. :D :D

so tackhead you are guilty of double standerds then i.e if you had a quality watch you would not take it to a shoe repairers ,you would take it to a jewelers. so why dont you direct all these chefs with there knives to a qualified sharpener as some of there knives can be of a good quality and cost a few pounds and the same could be said for keys why not send them to a locksmith and the same for yor engraving.

i will tell you why ecouse it puts money in your till , and thats exactly why the guys on here do watch repairs and i for one would use a few of them for any work i needed doing that i could not do myself ie .lee for watchs tell for keys and planet for engraving even though i have only used one of these guys a the moment i woul still trust the others to do a good job for me

just as a "Bi" product of this thread, I recently joined a forum & had a dig at something on it! as a member here it would have been OK, but as a newbie on another site my post where read differently to the way I'd written them & I was gunned down.

 

I always admire any new member who's prepared to give us a run for our money, you go for it Tackhead it wakes them all up!

 

Stick around & you'll learn a lot about the industry that WILL open your eyes, stick around even longer & you'll find yourself changing your business for the better as a result (written from experience).

Some bold statements there 'Tackhead', but be warned. You cast a blanket approach over the members of this Forum when you castigate them for following 'Timpsons' [-X Many have made a good living out of it :)

 

Please give them a little more respect as intelligent businessmen and Forum members, they only take on extra services that they believe will enhance there businesses =D> So the next brainwave idea will not neccasarily be adopted [-X

 

Be cautious in your tone, unless you enjoy falling on your own sword :-{{{

By the way, I "watched" (lol) the seminars at the cuttingedge shows that Timpson put on about watch batteries (did you see them tackhead?) a few years ago & from this little acorn I grew a tree.

 

I have put in 2 movements & 3 batteries this morning but haven't been so busy on shoes.......

 

Thank you Mr Timpson for giving me your valuable time at the exhibition a few years ago. I don't think this would have affected you, but it has affected me! \:D/ & enhanced the entire industry.

 

I think that from this small olive branch training I could now teach others a thing or two about the watch side of the industry.

 

I now do...

 

batteries, straps, strap adjustments, glass, movements, mechanical watch repairs, case polishing & cleaning and pressure testing keeps you busy don't it...

Me knifes a bit blunt from trying to cut round them big metal heels, you know Rimforts.

:D :D Saw a demo in Tescos yestyerday, lady was sawing through a Hammer head with a filleting knife and bread knife to show how the steel never needed sharpening, got a fair bit into the hammer with a lot of filings, then proceeded to slice a tomato into wafer thin slices. :shock:

 

I thought at the time "I wonder why xminit dont have those knives" :D

If joe public can get knives that dont need sharpening why cant cobblers, would save a small fortune on sharpening time alone.
