Got a thing through the post this morning inviting me to collect Screwfix's new catalogue and collect a FREE boot bag, so I did, and its makes an even better helmet bag!! I asked if non registered customers can have 1, yes they can just by goin g into a Screwfix branch and picking up a catalogue, so there you go! I like Screwfix anyway, especially as our B&Q has just closed down!
Had BM's in the past, R45 too low on power, Ex-plodicas R80, carbs for-ever going out of tune, bleedin' heavy and clumsy, 'borrowed' a K100, like that, pulled in top from about 10mph, nearest I've had to an automatic geared bike! Had to give it back to the stock in the bike shop I worked for, bugger wanted to sell it, totally un-reasonable in my book! Would'nt have another BMW now though.
I'm lucky having Greyhounds, very short fur just wipes off easily, dont get too muddy in Dechmont woods as they put pretty good paths down making it easier for the aliens to land, would'nt want them contaminating their space ships! (if you are into alien stories Google Dechmont woods/Robert Taylor/Arthur C Clarke)
Went to my local screwfix enquired about the bag, yes we have loads left, offer on until 24th Sept but to get one you need a voucher that was sent to you !!! No voucher - No bag
The chap I asked said if you sign up you could have one! I cancelled them sending me bloody stupid emails on 'how did we do?' 'spose its upto individual managers, isn't it wonderful to have power? Got so many I got fed up with them, but they still send me post mail.
Sent an email asking what have i to do to get a voucher - got there reply below - Dear Terry Thank you for your email regarding promotional offers.

If you got a tool bag that they gave away a few months ago and not used it like me, the 'floor' bottom panels are an ideal fit in the bottom of the 'helmet' bag, helmet base protected and the bag base too! Re: the eligibility for free gifts, I saw a chap signed up and got a bag, so it seems to be discretionary, I spend bugger all over the year, some rawl bolts to bolt my bike cover down and 3 tubes of cheap silicone sealant, face must fit then. Normally got a Greyhound with me when I go in and he gets lots of fuss, perhaps all customers need one?, he gets the sympathy free gifts!
Got my Screwfix sale paper through the post today, went up to get some screws All 40p's worth) and asked them if they had any bags left, they gave me 2!!!!! Just give 'em to me no question, strange how some out-lets are so fussy!
