Now there's a shop i just cannot get me nut around, went up recently and asked for £40 of crab and he said I could only have £20 as he was limiting it to £20/customer
After convincing him that £20's worth was no good he let me have £30 of it (thanks very much indeed), he's cracked it, turned it around, now he's the customer in the shop. This is despite me in the last 3 years having bought multiple £50 batches of crab, 2 Blue Elites and many items of terminal gear off of him.

Like the guy before said John must be doing something right he has two tackle shops open when others are falling by the wayside.Also might be thinking of other regular customers better everyone getting a little rather than a few getting it all...
excuse me mate, did I say it was not a successful business
Me just thinking that the acquisition of 40 poxy crab ain't gonna put the fozen crab stocks of blyth in jeopardy, 2 new multis last year and get KB'd for 10 dead crustaceans, f***n h**l

. Anyway, if he's using that business ethic, after getting my first elite off of him he should have KB'd me for the second one I got a couple of weeks laterendurothumpers

This time of year tackle shops can probably get elite's easier than crab lol
Yer, it is a sturdy chair(until it collapses under him like), but me thinks I should of still been given some preference. I'm not going back again anyways, until I run out of peeler like

As little fishing as I've done the last couple of years, I was surprised when I realised that each time I've passed lately the shutters had been down, hadn't clicked that it had closed up at first. Always found Simon a canny guy, got both my slosh 20 & 30 from there and other gear, bait was always cracking. Shame to see the place closed down again.
Still remember from being a kid when it was Temples, buying packs of "scrap" ie broken worms to use to fish in the harbours over the summer holidays. Was another place a few streets away back in the 80's we sometimes went too - "Whitley Bait & Tackle", whatever happened to those guys?
