It's wet out there.
It's going to be wet out there a lot more.

Do you sell anything that could be useful either now or in the near future?

Does your store have survival gear, emergency equipment, boats, dehumidifiers, pet carriers, waste disposal kit, altimeters, cleaning equipment, sand bags, torches, blankets, dry bags, emergency chargers for mobiles, camping gear or anything else even remotely usable in this sort of emergency?

Yes?

Then why aren't you promoting it?!

Do you selling SMOKING related items?

With the July 1st Smoking Ban coming in for England, there are a lot of people trying to give up smoking. So, do you sell:

1. Nicotine patches, gum or other replacement devices?
2. Do you have self-help books, CDs, DVDs or other hypnotic devices to aid people?
3. Do you offer direct therapy, out-reach services or advice to people trying to kick the habit?
4. Do you produce stickers, signs, notices or anything else which says "No Smoking" or "Smoking area this way" or similar?
5. Are you an artist using ash trays, fag packets or other smoking paraphernalia to create your art work?

Yes?

Then why aren't you promoting it?!

Some excellent points being made there Damian, perhaps a note on the KT with your suggestions would help too? I've taken your suggestions on board and will rake out the 'quit smoking' items; we've had that ruling north of the border for some time now.
