Re: Anti-virus precautions
We have adopted the appointment system in both of our outlets, I can honestly say that it works better than the drop in system we had before and we are taking more money, the reason for this I believe is because it cut's down on time wasters, people who go to the trouble to book are seeming to spend...

Re: Is anyone going to the Spring Fair at the NEC?

So rather that just comment on this I will offer our method up, feel absolutely free to critique or point and laugh, I am a big boy and can take it.
