The reps around here are usually pretty good. They seem also to be eager to have accounts in San Francisco (we're two blocks from the Zuni Cafe) so they like to call on us. I'd imagine there'd be less enthusiam for a rep to make a 200 mile drive across the parched wastelands.

They also have the problem that they often have suits fly in, from their principles, and they have to squire them around for a couple of days, and need victims to inflict them on. If I provide such a service to a rep, they know that they owe me big-time.

As my old mentor Melvin Goldstein taught me, the easiest thing in the world is not to sell.

Or they were stuck in crusted medieval sales

OK - I just have to share this pet peeve.

No matter where I am, any time I buy batteries at Radio Shack I get the same:

"What are you going to use 'em for?"

I suppose there are a few people out there who don't know what battery they need, but this question is really, really annoying to those of us who do!! I wonder sometimes whether A) they're really interested in an answer -- any answer, or B) might actually be in a position to offer selection advice, or C) maybe it's just an internal joke to them.

Sometimes I just make stuff up.

I am in the US. But even in Germany I did not have problems. It was mostly other distributors over there, such as EBV or Spoerle. Some companies had direct support like Analog Devices. That one, BTW, was the absolute best.

In which case I'd narrow it down to the Bedford UK, office.

Why don't you find some HVAC group, or some scat-lover rectal play group, to annoy? Your coarse brand of humor, and your brand of technical expertise, might be more appropriate there.

The planes I've jumped from didn't have doors!

Ever jumped? I've done a few. But it's a silly sport, hours of prep and waiting around for a couple of minutes of drop time. I can ski all day, in between refueling.

Sailplanes are still on my must-do list, though. After I write my book, maybe.
