    Correct me if I’m wrong. “Brand” a unique identifying mark left on cattle . Those cleaver cowboys did it so as not to get each others cows mixed up, after a while a guess not only did they know it wasn’t their cow but remembered that that brand belonged to cowboy weston or whoever. To me that is what a brand is an identifying mark. Taking this a step further an unscrupulous cowboy may see a cow with brand he recognises as being from a cowboy with a reputatuion for breeding good cows and being unscrupulous would maybe choose to steal or maybe rustle the cows with that brand as he recognises it may be a quality cow. These quality cows could be cash cows ut thats something else.

    damo2576 A great example of that was a few years ago clarks shoes did a tv advert for kids shoes the music was “white horses” from a tv show that remember as a child and as I was mr average late 30s 2 young children it struck a chord.
    Also if I remember correctly doesnt TJ advocate running red lights? Does this mean TJ is actually marketing all cyclists as unpredictable by way of his actions.

    To be honest the Garmin logo even when pointed out means nothing to me, I see it as a blue triangle thats it it says nothing to me.I own one because I read some reviews looked at the features compared the price and based my purchase on these.

    Sorry but I havent read the whole thread but I would like to add my point worthless or not. I work for a firm who manufacture hot and cold snack food delivery vehicles during a recent trial with M&S they ran our vehicle along side a competitors for 6 months. Our approach when designing the vehicle was to make the products easily accesable and on view as much as possible. They have alternated the vans week about using the same sales person, stock and route and found our van turnsover is £900+ per day. Our competitors only does £500. This tells them and us people buy with their eyes. What looks attractive sells. Things as silly as being able to see the top 50mm of a bottle of juice as apposed to just 30mm meant they sold 4 times the amount. Also M&S have the largest daily turnover of any of our 500+ customers and over 2000 vans and lastly the spend per head average is over £5. Branding sells.

    My uncle had the nose cone of a bloodhound in his garden in Bristol many many years ago, he worked for british aerospace all his life and also had some very interesting tales to tell down the pub.

    br Thats what I thought just wish I could find a company that does the foiling/vacuum wrapping thing really. Think I might try to contact some kitchen cabinet manufacturers to maybe point me in the right direction.

    I would like to see the newspaper distribution companies refuse to distribute or newsagents refuse to stock the paper. Also for the people responsible to end up in prison.

    The exact same thing happened to me a few years ago apart from the drivers wing mirror got clipped (oops) he then did a uturn drove past me and got out of his car and waited in a layby at the top of the hill. When I got there I put my bike on the floor to talk to him he then proceeded to tell me how damaging his car could be bad for my health and I was lucky “bigger blokes than me might hit you” he was around 6ft i’m 5,8″ I asked him if he fanced his chances he then drove off. This still makes me smile as I avoid violence like the plague usually.

    Technology to manufacture light bulbs that dont fail has been around for many years it just doesnt make commercial sense.

    You may be surprised but you dont have to be rich to buy woodland. There is quite a lot of it for sale, I was talking with my boss the other day he lives in the south lakes and buys and sells land and seems to know what hes on about. He was telling me he had been offered woodland for as little as £1 an acre, grassland has been £2500 an acre for a while and you can make money from it if you work it and woodland is seen as non profitable. Now I dont know the ins and outs whether you had to buy 100s of acres or it was just 2 or 3 but it crossed my mind that it may be more feasable than I first thought to do as you suggest.

    Companies set a price at what they feel the market will stand if all is going well expect an increase, if this affects sales then they can reduce the price. This is my simplistic view, the only way to stop it is by not buying from that company for a while.

    It saves installing a seperate switch for every component, not all relays are the same a simple one can be n/o or n/c depends on what you want to control some have times in them or current or voltage sensing as well. as a guide terminal 85 is earth 86 is the signal feed used to activate the coil, 30 is perm feed, 87 norm open 87a is norm closed. Hope that helps a bit. Also using a diode relay helps when back feeds become an issue.

    Cougar thats how it feels they get the opportunity to prepare (super duper 21 page power point presentation)I get thrown in at the end to bail out what they have agreed to but cant deliver on. For what its worth I think power points are very old hat and at 21 pages too long but dont know what the modern day equivilant is.

    5th element Why just because I dont shave on a daily basis am I an idiot?

    Dressing smarter is not an option as crawling around under and over vehicles on a daily basis.
    Moses at 40 Iam grown up but possibly lacking a little confidence.
    Being a small company I have to wear a number of hats.
    I have always felt that people who dress smarter than I have to for work must be cleaverer. Possibly an inferiority complex.

    surely with ice hockey being the national sport they should be able to lay their hands on some of those machines they use for cleaning the rink for shifting the water.

    Many years ago I tried a canal jump and failed landing in the canal bike and all at the time I was too scared to tell my parents so said nothing and hid my clothes at the bottom of the washing basket. Yes after a couple of days the smell was unbareable and I was rumbled. About 2 weeks later my trusty 3 speed bike gears started slipping and playing up, my dad agreed to have a look for me. Upon inspection we found lots of brown water inside the hub funnily. The lasting memory is of my Dad replacing all the internals one saturday afternoon whilst cursing me under his breath. He was a pretty calm guy so I guess they must be a bit fiddly considering his language. Good luck.+1 dunstick

    We used to get them at work on long term loan as a perk from Citroen UK because we bought a lot of chassis and I agree they held the road like nothing else I have driven the only concearn was if and when they did let go it would be pretty spectacular. Never had the balls to drive it hard enough to find it’s limits. My mates trick was to just leave his foot planted on the throttle from a standing start up through the gears along Esholt sprint to the corner and round without braking. We also had a golf VR6 and an Audi A4 T sport at the same time going back 13 years we were regularly seen racing the 3 against each other.
