Last year www.stuff4blokes were approached by ITV 60 Minute Makeover and asked to donate some items for one of their shows. After a quick think we sent them a RockQube and a Mini Table Football - that is what they asked for. We waited and waited for the show to be shown and eventually they contacted us to give us the date for the beginning of October. Great we thought and hoping for increased business we bought additional stock.
Well the show went out this week and what a surprise - the table football was not there. Checked on their website and it was not listed. So, emailed and asked what has happened to it. The reply has just come back that they did not use the table football and have sold it for charity.
How do I know that and maybe I do not support that charity. They did not ask my permission to do that and have taken and used our donation which was to a specific cause for something else entirely.
Beware - do not get caught.

Where have you been?
I suppose what I mean is where have I been? It is ages since I last wrote anything on here and I do not know what I have been doing to not find the time. I seem to have been really busy and not had a chance to write things down but when I ask myself what have I achieved then the truth is very little.
I visited the Spring Fair at the NEC and saw so many different ideas that I am still going through them all to decide which ones we are going to add to the website. The sales people are starting to phone and are asking whether we have decided what we want to buy from them but the trouble is there are so many options to choose from that I cannot decide which to buy now, which to buy later and which to put totally on the back burner. How are some people so efficient - where do they find the time?
What I ask myself though is with so much happening and so many awful events every day why do the media get so obsessed with famous people. The fuss that they are making over the antics of some of the Chelsea footballers! I think that 5Live even had people emailing and texting about whether John Terry should have resigned from England football team instead of Wayne Bridge. They are even speculating whether they will shake hands tomorrow at the Chelsea v Manchester City game. All eyes will be watching and then will talk about it no doubt for ages. What is much more important is whether Manchester City can beat Chelsea, City could certainly use the 3 points and funnily enough I bet it is one of the only times when the red side of Manchester are hoping for a City win.
Anyway back to where have I been - the answer is I do not know!
