Rough Close ~ March '11

[Mesquite]

Hmmm..... I sell them at £20 ...lets chat on site....

the correct term is haggle John...

 

[Twodogs]

This is trade not retail,,,

 

[John Fenna]

Haggle - schmaggle - it is called "business", "the life-blood of commerce", "doing lunch", and a host of other things too

 

[John Fenna]

This is trade not retail,,,

From me - who makes no profit to speak of, who has a van gearbox and clutch to pay for, who works all hours for less than 1/4 'minimum wage', who works with arms that are in agony, from me he wants wholesale when offering me retail?
From me, who has no income save a little writing, a little sewing, a little trading, a little canoeing, from me he wants - what - blood?
If my poor mother was alive to see this it would kill her: if I had any, my children would starve in the gutter
Oi, oi, oi, already enough - we will talk at RC - if I can afford to get there.....:vio:
He wants...... trade.......irate:
