    Yeah – is that going to appear in every one of his posts??? Some of the advertisers on here have paid good money for their ads (as we are reminded anytime the issue of applying ‘electronic eye bleach’ is raised…. 😉

    Obviously too crappy a business to understand target market perceptions and do proper marketing

    Yeah but no worse than the blatant promotion of Ragley, On-One, Superstar, several bike shops etc. But that’s ok, no?

    And it’s just a link, you’re not obliged to click on it. Several people have their username link to their businesses anyway.

    It’s Capitalism, innit? Every dog for himself.

    Cheapest coffe online? Maybe. Your offer of Douwe Eggberts 250g at $6,39 +p&p plus 2 business days for picking and 3 days for shipping plus shipping costs OR I go to the local supermarket pick it off the shelf and have in my hand within 10mins for 2,50€. No contest really, must be the advertising costs which are bumping up your prices, no?

    And OP are you waiting in line at the local soup kitchen?

    I think to begin with some people start with a bit of banter and then throw their links into a relevant thread. Not stick it on the bottom of everythread, relevant or not, from day 1. Of course some people abuse the thread.

    Yeah, it’s cheeky, but in fairness, Troutie has used this from as a means of promoting his own business, albeit in a far less blatant manner. I don’t think Troutie expected things to take off so well, and I don’t think he deliberately used the forum to get free promotion, but he has benefitted from using STW, without paying for advertising. Not knocking Troutie at all, good on him, but I’m just using that as an example.

    The only thing that San4os is guilty of is being crap at being subtle.

    I feel hoodwinked I’ve just spent $50 of cheap coffee I didn’t want and I still don’t know where Pook was 🙁

    I think SuperStar can be accused of abuse as he clearly set out to use the forum for marketing, I’m not sure if that’s the same for Troutie though, he was a hobbyist and it grew from there. If I recall Ragley was set up by Brant after he had become well known for his exploits with On-One.
    As you say, you can choose to hit the link or not.

    I still want to know where Pook was, still think it might have been something like a passport office.

    No he was in the DVLA, but he’s edited his post.

    As PeterPoddy says, slagging people ff is far more interesting. At the moment, we’re attacking poor Don Simon.

    Mind you, he does deserve it for his gratuitous and unnecessary use of different sized fonts. 😀

    You’re just so oldfashioned in your backward little island, you should embrace Europe.

    Well, it appears the resident grumpies have spoken…… a ban after 1 post for san4os – is that a new record?!?!?

    Well it doesn’t, it’s arse!

    Since when has Europe been COOL?? I know it may have somethings that it can be complemented about (eg weather, bigger mountains, some decent beaches, interesting history, better looking birds (in places) etc) but it is way off being cool!
