chela you obvioulsy have far too much time on your hands.[b]Out of interest if you were to walk into a shop and be be treated like shit would you go back. Or are you happy to expect poor customer service?[/b]
Of course I would now expect brant to come along and agree with chela, but then again most of us are aware what his customer service skills are like.
Depends, if after going to that shop for a while they went "tell you what, have a load of free stuff to go with what we do" I would definitely go back. If some of the stuff was not there first time and they cracked a joke about it (because I asked about it via megaphone outside the shop rather than calling/walking in) then yes I would still go back. I would just be a little embarrassed about my initial approach.
Oh, and I have won stuff from these "people", and they have sorted me out, both times, eventually 🙂
Think I'll go do some more gardening beats reading bullshit from littlesthobo and Gary_M.

Me too although the second prize I won company supplying the prize were the ones who failed to supply the item. After 2 years of emailing the company with support from STW they finally sent me it.
That just shows a red cross
Ah. Still, better than the gay porn Fredwhotist posed up once.
Not to worry.

I shall continue discussing bearing tolerance with Taiwanese factories 🙂
I was hoping for a ban then, but, ah well.

So would you if you got nailed to two bits of wood 😯
Top Gear pic, I see it, and now wonder what episode of Top Gear I missed, having Dave on Sky I didn't think it was possible to avoid them all...

Being nailed to two bits of wood would be preferable to reading some the shite spouted on here.
It must take big balls to follow the leader like sheep
As an aside, I re-discovered Pink Floyd's Animals in the glove compartment the other day. Magnificant album.

What is with expecting free stuff when a mistake is made? Has the mistake cost the original poster income?
Anyway who did win 'that' jacket?

No doesn't even look like he buys the mag.
I won some Michelin tyres from Bikemagic a long time ago. They're pretty worn out now but to be honest they seem fine - I think there's a lot of crap talked about tyres. Does that help?

Cost of a stamp maybe? But hey competitions aren't there to be won are they.
Mountains and molehills spring to mind.
As always, STW entertains...

At what point has the OP or anyone else stated that he wanted anything extra to the prize? I think someone suggested an entry to the event he missed for 2010 but that was just 'humour'.
All we did was comment on Chipps lack of customer service with regards to his humour in this instance. Its you guys who jumped on our backs because we werent following the sheep.
It's cause they all love chipps et al and want to be part of their gang 😆

No one has including me.

What are you talking about I gave a view based on experience.
for the record, I didn't win anything and also have received no trumpet playing.
Do i get £5?
I won a Muckoff cleaning kit on another site once.
It didnt arrive so i put up a similar post to the OP because i didnt have any contact details for the person arranging it. Funnily enough they said they had forgotten about it and it would be in the post and that was the end of it. I was well chuffed when it arrived and made sure i said thanks.

It is the one where they go to a track in spain? and test the M3 RS4 and some monster merc thing.
Big Balls. AC/DC. dirty deeds done dirt cheap. Marvellous.
Morning all,
I'm sorry that my quick reply seemed to be taken the wrong way. I'll make sure I only stick to factual answers in the future so that things aren't taken in the lighthearted and friendly manner in which they're meant.
We've been in touch with him now and are sorting out his £1000 worth of prizes pronto.
(However, harmonica solos are still available for competition winners who would like them. We still don't have any trumpets here...) 🙂
I'm with chela. This forum has become intolerable due to the weird sensitive nature of many folks. I'm sure they are only like it when behind a keyboard or they would really only be able to spend their life alone.
Oh dear 🙄
chela you obvioulsy have far too much time on your hands.
Not so much that I'm inclined to sit here all day and talk BS and whine and complain about trivial stuff.
Out of interest if you were to walk into a shop and be be treated like shit would you go back. Or are you happy to expect poor customer service?
You're not in a shop. And it wasn't you that walked in. And the man that did walk in wasn't treated like shit. And he'd got free stuff. And the poor customer service is a genuine (aplogised for) oversight that happened cuz the staff have other things to be doing, some of which pay for a forum for you to use. Which I expect you, if you're true to your holier-than-thou implied belief that we're treated like shit and shouldn't go back, won't be using again. Uh oh, you appear to have backed yourself into corner from which any comeback on this forum undermines your own argument. Checkmate.
chipps, is there a facility to upgrade for past winners? I have some Kona stickers I don't need that I could return?
(anyone need any Kona stickers?)

[/img]Chipps, thats great news and i hope the guy was well chuffed.
I think a big trumpet is fitting now 🙂
And in my defence, I'd like to point out that he had a reply within an hour of posting his message, at 8pm at night... And despite email being our preferred method of contact.
And Benji is getting him sorted with prizes as I type.

Oh the irony.
[i]chipps, is there a facility to upgrade for past winners? I have some Kona stickers I don't need that I could return? (anyone need any Kona stickers?)[/i]
I have some Maxxis stickers that I can upgrade you to. Or how about some Chub hub stickers?
i'll take a penny worth of harmonica please Chipps 🙂
Bah! I can't post pictures. Ignore this post.

Somehow I don't think that this is the end of the thread...
a bit daft considering the OP merely asked if he'd won a prize or not and would he be getting some kind of confirmation or something.
Anyway, I shall be entering the comp for that Lynksey frame, hopefully this episode will put most other folk off entering 😉
oohh, stickers swap shop?
*sorts through drawers*
ooooooo, Chub! Now there is a name. I guess all I would need would be something to put them on...
Bugger, I have spotted a flaw in my plan, I don't really put stickers on anything. Tell you what, give them to MrSparkle with my love, drop me an email with his phone number, I own a harmonica but would be better playing guitar at him. No chance with a trumpet though.
Both Chipps and Ben have now been in contact and I think it is all sorted out. I have found this experience a bit of an eye opener but I would like everyone to now consider this matter closed.
Thanks,
Mr Sparkle.

How do i enter that. The irony of winning that would be fantastic.
but I would like everyone to now consider this matter closed.
fat chance :o)
It were better it had never been started...
And I thought it was us guys, i.e all cyclists verses everybody else ? not each other FFS !!!
not each other FFS !!!
[s]love[/s] ridicule the one you're with :o)
It's a bit like: "Why do you rob banks?" - "Because that's where the money is kept!"
i think they should trombone you at all of your entries by way of apology........
Cock ups happen and emails can be a crude tool, people sometimes take things the wrong way, now can we all just get along, play nice and be happy in the knowledge we all have a common interest in mountain biking. “Lets all feel the love in mtb world” and now breathe slow & be calm.
