stingiest people in the world?

In my experience, Yorkshiremen (and especially Sugden) aren't stingey. This is stingey. What about the Yank who bought an "a NOS Audio-Technica Soundburger portable turntable" from me - I listed it as unopened - Now these "vinyl discman" thingies haven't been made for over 15 years - this one had been stuck on a shelf for all that time - and after paying me and receiving it OK and telling me how it was in perfect nick etc. he froze the Paypal transaction because the foam ear pads on the phones (which are of the type you get on giveaway phones on planes, anyway i.e. a bit of foam and an elastic band) had deteriorated. I then sent him a replacement pair which cost me 10p aand about 4 quid in postage. He accused me of not mentioning this fact in my listing "for obvious reasons" - what a wan*** ! In all my future listings on ebay, I will ship anywhere except the colonies. I can now believe all those exhorbitant lawyer "damage" claim suits that you see on Yank TV programmes.

Hey Chris,
One bad apple dosn't ruin the bunch. BTW we are Americans not Yanks. Colonies, wake up dude there hasn't been colonies since we kicked some ass in 1776. Then we saved you from the Nazis, remember? Just think we could be bopping to Techno with our helmets on doing the goosestep.
Kings and Queens Royal Families and you make fun of us. Look in the mirror. Oh my!

Rollo,
Please take it as tongue in cheek. It was not my intention to ruffle any feathers and least of all here on the most respectable hi-fi forum that I know of. I would hate this to become a slanging match and as I started it, I would like to finish it by begging pardon if I have offended anyone.

Hey Chris,

I am very well thanks - Loving fatherhood:) The hardest and the best thing I've ever done! Thinking about another :eek:

Hows the business going? I see you are serving the home cinema market too - any insider info on screens? I am looking at a 1080p kuro 50" plazz for after xmas, but I have only seen one at an exhibition (IFA).

cheers //craig
 
In my opinion, Sugden are helpful, honest (at least they said they wont ring mobiles, some just dont ring) and spend money wisely, ie, on good products that are reasonably priced. Cant ask for more.

now MF are a case for scrutiny after their last little stunt with their cardboard system checker. who really listens at 110 db - very clever marketing but hardly honest - gimme the Yorkshiremans approach anyday, and I was born in the smoke.
 
and regarding Americans, I have nothing against them but a friend once noted
they all came from somewhere else &
no one stopped em leaving:D
