Just so you know i've already considered weeing in shoes! ;) My company has agreed geographical territories with one of our suppliers which has worked for the last decade and if i get an enquiry which is in their area i pass it on and vice versa. A few months ago i found out that one of my suppliers staff had undercut us on a deal in Ireland so naturally had some harsh words with the owner of the supplier and the member of staff (who incidentally knew exactly what he was doing!), i left them in no uncertain terms that this isn't on and they were to pay me compensation for stealing the business in my area. All done, all cleared up as far as me and the owner of the supply company is concerned. However, the last few months with the suppliers member of staff have been very difficult purely down to his attitude since this b*ll*cking a few months ago. I've just come off the phone to him where it was like getting blood from a stone (and has been for months!) with regards to any conversation where i asked him how long are you going to keep this bad attitude up for? His answer was that he no longer wants to work with us - which he has to! Before i do anything rash and reiterate this to the owner (which i feel i need to), what would you do? TIA!

Is all 'sales' business as shady as this one sounds?

For the most part, yes.

The 'ise' vs 'ize' thing is bollocks I'm afraid. Both are fine.

I think that’s the first time that I’ve done trolling!
