He then proceeded to tell me that the panel was for customer demo's and to test products, so to leave it alone.

    I was pretty taken back, being a customer and all, and trying out a product

    But still, it was tropical not the stronger RM, so what i was doing (giving it 10 seconds to mist) was infact correct AFAIK! It's not the point about being told i'm doing something wrong, it their product after all and i'm all up for learning about more and better products and techniques, but his attitude was appalling and confrontational.

    Most people left the stand at that point, not a good sales pitch!

    I carried on trying to strike up a bit of a discussion about their products and company, but he seemed very disinterested and dismissive, especially when i said that i'd spoken to someone there called Mike (I was mistaken, Mike is someone from another company who i've bought Dodo products from before). He categorically informed me that i was wrong and didn't know what i was talking about.

    Nice guy!

    Still, i got my own back when he waxed half the panel with SN to demo it's amazing beading capability, which always impresses a few people, so i spritzed water over the un-waxed side which had recently been polished, and it of course beaded up just as well as the waxed side
    Am I the only one who does not understand a word of that?

    Lemme get this straight....You p!55ed like a tropical storm on his panel, then 10 seconds later the The Karate Kid came along and did a half-a.rsed job with the old wax-on/wax-off on the panel, then some Polish bloke p!55ed over it and magic beads appeared - is that right?

                              It's not their fault, remember Castle Combe was going to be closed, the only way they could stay open was reduced noise levels for public events due to resident complaints.

                              Residents moaned about Spielberg filming Warhorse there as well

                                i think they only are allowed a few days per year where they can go over the limit....in fairness its the bloody local residents moaning when end up driving the cap on noise
