Crikey that makes me a Klingon to Euro Pizza on Wallsend High Street then :o :D
 
Because i thought it was a friendly forum about sharing info, catch reports etc. Not for slagging each other off and giving shops bad names.
I would say your a normal regular customer.
 
is it everyone's time of the month are something who gives a fcuk if people call u a cling on are wat ever if u dont like a shop go to another one u dont like someone dont talk to em. u want to stand in a shop talking fishing. stand in a shop and talk as much as you want. who gives a **** wat others think life is to short and there are fish out there that need catching.:D
 
I've been worried about this as it has posed questions that have kept me awake overnight...

At what point does a person become a regular or a klingon??

I have a bit of craic with the owner and the other lads in the shop and they too with me but we are by no means drinking buddies...

I use my preferred shop maybe once a week during the winter/summer but sometimes this will slip to maybe once a fortnight/three weeks during the leaner spells...but will these lapses mean I lose my status as a regular? (if indeed I was ever perceived thus?)

...and does monetary input into said shop equate to "regularity"? I will spend what I need on bait and buy odds and sods that take my eye and maybe once every two years upgrade a boat rod or have a re-build so by all accounts I'm not a big spender

...or does all of the above just make me a "normal" customer?

my interpretation of a cling on is some one who hangs round a shop buys nowt:mad:knows nowt:mad: does nowt:mad:but thinks he/she does:mad: and then tries to force a worthless load of crap info down the neck of some poor blighter thats gone into the shop:mad:

Phew - that's me out of the loop then as I'm quite an afficionado of Euro Pizza and it's delectable offerings :D

The F***ers normally go quiet when someone enters their cabin, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting novice angler
 
im saying nowt else but,i sold you the rod not cos nobody wanted them because i did'nt want them ok.and don't call me darren only mates call me by that name. thats my last word on the subject ok terry.guess im barred from the shop for stating a opion.

Dont know why you guess your barred, youve slagged me off, called the shop, said you would not use it, i cant call you by your first name as it seems i'm not your friend.

Not a single reason among that lot that would make me want to barr someone from using my shop.

I think you made your own mind up the minute you posted on this thread, you barred yourself.
 
Wallsendo, you do make me smile with some of your posts and before somebody says it, not many things make me smile lol!

On a more serious note, you ask about what makes a regular, this is difficult to put into words but here goes.

As far as i am concerned it has nothing to do with the amount of money a person spends in my shop.

Forget about how much someone spends as some have more money than others, i think it boils down to loyalty, every customer who walks through the door has the potential to become a regular.

If a person goes fishing frequently and he/she uses a particular shop for the majority of his tackle then i would say that person is a regular as would a person who only fishes now and again but each time he/she went fishing they used the same shop.

This may sound a bit stupid but i value a customer who spends a small amount of money each week more than say someone who comes in once in a while to spend a larger amount, the point i am trying to make is its not about how much you spend its how much you use a shop that makes you a regular.

The above looks a bit jibberish but i know what i mean and hope it makes sense to others.

Christ I'm one of these cling ons! :o
 
Just to put another angle on this.....bear in mind what the tackleshop owner has to put up with to make an honest living,i was unfortunate enough to be a manager in some retail outlets for some time and the shoite you get from time to time is unbelievable....and as a resident Klingon i see the same thing in tackle shops.Keeping every customer happy is very difficult to do and keeping a smile on your face every hour of the working day is sometimes impossible especially if you have had the customer from hell previously.......to be honest i have had good experiences in all tackle shops.......not to bothered if i am greeted with a cheesy grin and good morning sir.......i am happy just with honest advice and being able to purchase the product i want or the option to order it;)
 
Here's a clingon experience. Went to a tackle shop south of tyne once (not reelsport or rutherford) and asked the price of a rod. The clingons were perched at the counter and one of the ars***es turned around and said "ppphhhheeewww they're so much" (about £50 more than going rate), I ignored the daft t**t and quoted to the seller a price I'd been given from another shop down in cleveland. He thought a bit and then gave me a deal for that price. Point is, ok hang around a shop all day if you've nowt better to do, but what the f**k business of his was it. And do your homework.
