I remember them as well when I was a kid, Horse and cart just like Steptoe & Son

Ooh very posh, the one where i lived didn't have a horse, he used to pull a barrow.

To listen to a lot of folk it may seem as if all this recycling business is brand new thinking,
Is anyone else old enough to remember the cry of the Rag and Bone man the original recycling agent

*Remember him? I am him!

Tell that to Tom and Barbara Good.
Ah, those were the days.

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?!

Anyone selling Wellington boots, raincoats, umbrellas, towels, flood barriers, waders, other waterproof or water resistant gear or the like?

I can't see your auctions.

Where are you?
Who are you?
What have you got?
And why haven't you told us you're there?

The one round our way seemed to have lost his woman, kept shouting Oh Diane. (That's what it sounded like to me anyway), probably old iron.

Good point though Damian, unfortunately the only thing I can offer is books to pass the time. Not much use really as they wouldn't be delivered untill after the bad weather has subsided.

Does anyone really think that this won't happen again?

Yes, it may be too late to offer items for coping with this flood, but what about the next one? People who have just gone through it will be more likely to buy stuff now in preparation for next time. Give them a few months to think about it and they'll decide that there's too much else to buy.

Strike whilst the iron's . . . . . . er, damp?

Do you sell SUMMER products?

Yes, I know it's cold and damp right now, but the summer weather will get here soon enough.

Will you wait until people are already buying from your competitors or will you get your stock under their noses right now?

Tell them what they're going to want and show them where to get it.

Do you sell:

Sun creams, sun glasses, t-shirts, sandals, shorts, swimming trunks, swim suits, snorkels, flippers, diving masks and goggles, buckets & spades, rubber rings, dingies, beach towels, beach toys, sun shades, wind shades, cool bags, picnic gear, electric fans, air conditioners, ice cube makers, walking clothes or accessories, garden games or anything else summer related?

Yes?

Then why aren't you promoting it?!
